Einleitung

There are several access panels that make up the entire back panel of the Toshiba Tecra R940-S9421. You will learn how to replace all of them.

Completing this guide will also show you how to access all of the internal components of the laptop.

    • Slide lock 1, located on the right side, to the unlocked position.

    • While holding lock 2 (left side) in the unlocked position, pull out the battery pack.

    • It is not necessary to hold open lock 2 for re-installation.

    • Unscrew the single screw on the RAM access panel using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • The screw will not come apart from the panel.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry off the access panel.

    • Remove the 11 mm screw from the right side of the hard drive access panel using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Remove the 3.5 mm screw from the left side of the access panel using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry off the access panel from the bottom.

    • Remove twelve 5.5 mm screws from the main back cover using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Remove three 11 mm screws from main back cover and mini access panel using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Remove two 9.5 mm screws from the main back cover using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    The lower two orange screws are definitely not 11mm - that would prevent the keyboard re-seating, as I discovered.

    I suggest 5.5mm. A cover is shown between them; - my R940 (and virtually identical R840) has lost that.

    Underneath it is a docking connector.

    I have a working R940 & R840, but also a few other R840 in only slight distress (screen hinge screws, a couple missing SATA connector).

    So while I might not be able to tell now where those misplaced 11mm screws should go, I will be able to inspect the other untouched ones, and update this note.
