Einleitung

This guide demonstrates how to remove Toshiba Satellite L15W-B1208X speakers. Some reasons to remove the speakers might be damage, such as speaker blowouts, long periods of time without use, wire corrosion, etc. Removed speakers should be recycled. Be aware of tiny components during disassembly.

    • Turn off your laptop before starting.

    • Flip the laptop over so that the model number stickers face the ceiling.

    This is kind of a ta-da shot. It’s not a big deal here, but make sure you avoid these for complicated procedures.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver (PH1 bit) to remove the ten 5mm screws that secure the bottom cover.

    • Use an opening pick by sliding it in the seam between the bottom casing and the main body of the laptop. Separate the bottom casing from the main body.

    • It is recommended that you start on a corner and work your way along the edge of the cover.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to separate the remainder of the back cover from the laptop.

    • Be careful not to bend or crack the plastic back cover.

    How should I use the opening pick? Note that your bullets are doubled here. I would also just integrate the step about working around into the bullets, as it’s part of the process.

    • Disconnect the battery from the motherboard by gently pulling on wiring connecting to the motherboard.

    • Carefully lift the battery out of the laptop.

    What are you doing with your finger in the first shot? Do you need to push down on that black tab to release the battery? If so, make the first bullet clearer. If it’s just showing where the piece is, then use markup instead of your finger to avoid confusion.

    • Use Phillips #1 screwdriver (PH1 bit) to remove the 2mm screw that secures the sound board.

    What card? Also, can you add a wide shot with markup to show where on the device these screws are?

    • Using the ESD Safe Tweezers Blunt Nose gently pull on the plastic connector that attaches the speaker wiring to the soundboard to disconnect the soundboard from the laptop.

    • Gently pull the wire away from the soundboard using the ESD Safe Tweezers Blunt Nose.

    Do you have flipbook style shots to show this process?

    • Gently lift the soundboard out of the laptop.

    Use circle and square markup, rather than arrows. Can you add more information to how to unplug the cable? E.g., yank, gently pull out, etc. That way, you wouldn’t need the caution here.

    • Pull up on the ribbon beneath the hard drive to lift the hard drive upwards.

    What is the purpose of the first picture here? Also, can you write clearer directions about how to use the ribbon? Be careful about relying exclusively on non-specific verbs (e.g., use, remove)—either explain how to remove/use, or use a more specific verb.

    • Gently pull the hard drive towards the edge of the laptop to disconnect the hard drive from the laptop circuitry.

    Before, you said to use the ribbon, but here, you’re using your hand to lift out the hard drive. It also seems like Step 9 could be condensed into Step 8.

    • Remove the hard drive from black rubber mount by pulling the corner of the rubber mount away from the hard drive.

    • Continue pulling the rubber mount away from the hard drive until all four corners have been taken off.

    • Pull the remainder of the rubber mount away from the hard drive.

    How can I do that?

    • Remove the six 2 mm marked screws with a Phillips #1 screwdriver (PH1 bit).

    • The orange marked screw is wedged underneath the Wifi card, so be careful not to damage it when removing the screw.

    The top down shot is blurry here. Can you retake so the device is in focus? What am I trying not to damage? Also, separate directions for how to remove the five red screws into the red bullet, then the procedure for the orange screw in the orange bullet.

    • Carefully remove the blue ribbon cable attached to the silver plate on the motherboard using your fingernails to gently pull on the tabbed insert, and place it out of the way.

    • The connectors on these cables can easily snap off, so make sure you handle them with care.

    Can you combine the first and second sentence in the first bullet to be more concise?

    Alex Watkins -

    Be sure to apply to similar steps for removal below. Proofread attached.

    • Gently remove the insert next to the wi-fi card on the motherboard. Use your fingernails to gently pull on the tabbed insert, and place it out of the way.

    • The connectors on these cables can easily snap off, so make sure you handle them with care.

    • Pull on the sides of the WiFi card to remove it from its slot on the motherboard. Lift the card out and up away from the motherboard, as it will try to bend back into the casing.

    Check capitalization on WiFi. Make into two bullets. You don’t need to instruct them to place it out of the way.

    • Grab the paper tab on the cable near the silver part of the motherboard. Gently pull it away from the slot, and place it out of the way.

    The device changes orientation here, so I would make a top down shot with markup showing where this component is. Check throughout and remove place out of the way designation.

    • These next two cables are the most delicate. Be cautious while removing them.

    • Use your fingernails to gently pull on the tabbed insert of the cable near the bottom of the motherboard, and place it out of the way.

    • Gently pull on the ribbon attached to the motherboard near the WiFi card. In needed, use your fingernails to carefully nudge the tab out of its slot.

    How will you know when you’re done pulling (e.g., when it releases from the connector)? Proofread here. Would it ever not be needed to release the tab?

    • Gently nudge the headphone jack out of the casing, making sure not to break the plastic.

    • To remove the motherboard from the casing, gently lift the left side and pull it out of the casing.

    This is a great example of clear directions and a flipbook shot. Try to make all steps this clear.

    • Use the Phillips #1 screwdriver (PH1 bit) to carefully remove the four 2 mm screws from the top of the speakers.

    Here, combine the parenthetical information more concisely into the directions, and use a wider markup shot to identify all four screws.

    • Gently lift the left speaker from the laptop casing and carefully place it outside of the laptop.

    • Speaker items are small and fragile which might cause structural damage if not handled carefully.

    • Use an opening pick by sliding it under between the tab and the laptop to lift the six tabs that secure the wire in place.

    How should I use the pick?

    • Carefully remove the wire from the now-lifted tabs.

    Where are the tabs?

    • Remove the tape securing the wire to the laptop casing.

    • Gently lift both speakers and the connected wires away from the laptop, making sure not to damage either while doing so.

    • Make sure not to damage the sides of the speakers.

    • Keep track of the left and right speakers. Installing them on the wrong side might cause the speakers to not work properly.

    Where is the tape? I think you could combine the first bullet into Step 23 here, with two markup shots, then keep the three images you have here for lifting out the component. Note that you have doubled information in the caution.
