Upgrading Your Toshiba Notebook Parts

By David Swanson


Recommendations For Upgrading Toshiba Notebook Parts

Everything mechanical, or electronic, breaks down and nearly every computer made is expandable. This is also true of your Toshiba notebook but to be honest, as far as notebook technology has progressed, it is still not a great idea for you to go poking around in your notebook unless you really know what you are doing. But there are some upgrades you can do yourself and there are some repairs that can easily done for you by a technician using either generic replacement parts or Toshiba notebook parts. Then there are the things that look like they cannot be fixed but can be fixed using only Toshiba notebook parts.Then there is the fatal stuff.

Lets consider some various conditions to decide if our notebook is beyond repair or if you can replace the defective Toshiba notebook parts and repair it.

Upgrades

Generally speaking any notebook computer can be upgraded. Look at your owners manual or go online to determine what parts can be replaced. Normally you can upgrade your hard drive and memory but unless you know how to do this you should take it to a professional.

When it comes to memory you are probably better off using genuine Toshiba notebook parts on that but hard drives are made by other manufacturers and you need to check your manual for compatibility.

The screen for a laptop is not upgradable. If you need a larger or higher resolution screen then your only choice is buying a new laptop.

Notebook Died

Notebooks now days are much more durable than earlier days although dropping a notebook that is not in a protective case can cause serious damage to the components and circuits. Even a protective case will normally not protect a notebook that is accidentally dropped in water.

Stuff That Can Be Fixed

Defective notebook screens can usually be repaired although in some case they may not be repaired. Other componets such as the power supply and battery can be replaced if necessary.

The DVD drive and CD-Rom can be replaced or upgraded using Toshiba notebook parts.
