Toshiba Satellite L50-B HDD/SSD, Memory Upgrade and Disassembly Guide

- How to upgrade the HDD and memory in the Toshiba Satellite L50-B laptop, allowing you to upgrade to an SSD and dual channel memory configurations, or to replace a faulty HDD.
You can also access the laptop cooler, wireless card and other components.
The disassembly process is extremely simple and can be done with a plastic pry tool and small screwdriver in a few minutes.
Had a similar model for years that died about 4 years back (refuses to power on but I suspect that the HDD has salvageable data) and always wondered how to get into the casing of this guy. Now I know. Thanks!
Fantastic! I decided to upgrade the ram and change to SSD, this helped massively!

once i get my L50 squared away with the hinge problem i will be doing the ssd thing also
Very good review, pleasure to watch and listen to someone who is clear and methodical in the review delivery. VERY GOOD Thank you. I looked this up to find out how to open the DVD door, on my Toshiba Satellite L50-B still a mystery now, if anyone knows please enlighten me. Frank in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
+Fussy Lawn Care Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge/advise. This PC can not finf it's own DVD Drive and there is only C drive visable. Although I have a never quit personality, this D dirve seems to be elusive, clearly a Toshiba issue. I will be more careful about my next purchase. I don't need the DVD player.
I have the same laptop - it does not have a dvd drive. The thing you see on the side is a placeholder, a plastic thingy to fill the gap because they used the same chassis as for other laptops which do have a dvd drive.
The laptop in the video had a DVD drive (You can see it when I remove it), but some models have placeholders like you say.
Yea that's what I ment, sorry :) I have the L50-B-19Q, this one does not have a dvd drive but a plastic placeholder. Other than that the chassis and layout is exacly the same.
very efficient example! Loud and clear. Keep up with the good work!
Thank you for this video just upgraded the HDD to SSD and the ram up to 12GB on this model of laptop
First half of the video taken up by removing screws... 2:47 your welcome
You're
@@JU4N4 you're *** let's not forget to condescending asterisk
thank you very much. i had a failed harddrive. about to replace with an SSD.
Bro, you saved me a pretty penny. Thanks :)
Hi, where can I find a fan for this model?
Very useful. Thanks for creating this video!
Toshiba's are the best for upgrading/cleaning/repairing. They're also durable.
alot of people i know wouldnt agree with your comment but i do...beats the shit out of dell
one thing i had found out with all the 3 toshibas ive own is they like to shutdown if hot...ive been told its the thermal paste and toshibas are notorious for it
I have this laptop and I strongly disagree...
Hey, First many thanks for this video!
I have an L50-B but without an optical drive, I have a plastique part in there. My question is if I am able to put an SSD-card in to it or do I really have to replace the HDD which I also want to keep?
Many thanks for your help and sorry for my English.
Thank you very much,excellent explanation,,,
You are welcome!
thanks very much for your video on this.
Thank you for making this! Very clear and helpful.
Glad to help.
Thx Bro 4 useful Vid..... 🙃
No problem 👍
Wao. Good explanation
Thanks, glad it was helpful.
Hi ！ i'm wondering that whether Toshiba L50-B is compatible with SSD Q300 or not. I've been looking for many SSDs for my laptop, but I don't know which one or which type is suitable. I don't care about whether it is 256GB or 512GB , I just want to know that what kind of SSDs I should pay more attention. Thx
thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
Great video and instructions, thank you!
Thanks, helped a lot.
That’s really simply explained, would by any chance know the screw size ( as my repair shop lost 7 of the screws) ?
Mine is showing a low RTC battery warning. I cannot find the RTC battery on this model. Any idea where its located?
I'd guess it is on the other side of the mainboard, so you'd have to remove it and flip it over.
Buenísimo, gracias por compartir tu conocimiento, la pantalla de mi laptop se borra y desaparece la imagen constantemente ... que puedo hacer? No sé si es el flexo o, la caducidad programada, se me a apagado y no quiere encender ! Satellite L50 B 1WP. Espero una ayuda pronta, gracias
Thank you very much! Very useful :)
Thanks man, im 2 dumb to do it without guidance haha you earned a sub
Please help me : Question , i have the L55-B Laptop . it's old and on it's death bed . Can i buy the exact same model laptop (newer of course ) and put my HDD inside of the new one and just run like my old one ?
Yes, if it is the same model it should run just fine.
@@BrueComputing so i can just plug and play . thanks for helping me . i have software on it that cant be reloaded because my external HD took a dump . now all i gotta do is find a used L55-B in good shape . if you run across 1 please let me know . thanks Bruce . JJ in Tn
Hey, I want to add a caddy to my laptop and it's this same model, I've seen online that the messurements are 2.4 in so which caddy should I buy?
Hello.
I bought one of these about 7 months ago in Tesco.
Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card at all, or is it best to buy a new computer for that?
I have this same model laptop, it has a weird problem. It wont turn on when I press the power button but when I flip the laptop after i press the power button it turn it self on. What could be the reason of this. It's like button wont work unless I flip the thing.
How did u take out the optical drive mine doesn't have a slot where u can slide it out like urs
Super, thanks very much
Hi, great video! Do you know what is the type of screws? Im missing one now :(
Great video! I have a question: I own a model toshiba satellite l50-B 1DM, and i want to replace a palmrest/upper cover (A000296070), are all models compatible? for example i buy some other's l50-b palmrest uppercase part.
so if i wanna upgrade my ram that do i just pop out the ram and stick in the new one (which is made for my laptop of course but higher memory)?
+Christopher Mohabir If it has a single DIMM currently then you can just add a second stick. If it already has two DIMMs then you can replace them both.
your l50 comes apart easy ive taken all the back screws out pryed along the sides with a fair amount of force it aint budging its like theres top screws hidden somewhere the only way to get to them is to remove the keyboard some how do you know whats going on its a sattelite l50 looks exactly like yours but its got a huge back plate to expose the hd which is not a problem i need to replace the paste
thank you for the awsome vid very helpful I have the same one with amd a6 6310 with r4 apu do you how mucho ram max I can put in please
What type of screwdriver did you use?
You never replaced the HDD :p
Would have been better if you restored the hard disk in its place to give us some hand dexterity... worked for me anyway.
Brilliant thankyou.
Pleqse i need help i need to remove the cmos battery and i 1 i dont kniw where it is is the the one in the hard drive ? If yes how to remove it
can you tell me how the heck can i replace the keyboard? it looks kinda not removable!
thanks in advance.
Thank you so much
"Disassembly Guide"?

Маленькие винтики всегда теряются.
Я всегда собираю их в банку из-под тушенки :)
What if I have to put 2 4GB ram memory?
helpful , thanks
Skip to 3:45 if you want to finally see it opened, because 4/5th part of the video is just taking him time to unscrew it....
The video cable going from my motherboard to the lcd screen shorted out and now the laptop won't power on. Is there an internal fuse for the L50-B? I can replace the video cable, but that's not much use if the unit will no longer boot up. Thanks
+rcgflatulator I don't know I'm afraid. I'd probably start by just removing the battery and A/C connection and leaving it for a while, but it could be the board has been damaged electrically.
Hi i was wondering if replacing the heat paste is essential when wanting to clean the fan?
+Bianca Kim If you remove the heatsink from the CPU then I'd replace the thermal paste, but if you just remove the fan then I wouldn't say it is essential.
Thanks
No problem
just found 10 million screws under the keyboard your upload has failed to show that the base cover does not come off that easy...i would scrutiny anything further you mention after that
please can you recommend a ssd to upgrade to. also is there anything else worth adding or upgrading while im at it. if so please can you provide links to parts
Crucial BX500 240GB (or larger if you need more space): amzn.to/3fqq4QF
can you replace a l50b chassis with the l55b
How can I change the CMOS battery?
Thank you!
+Translation Courses I'd guess to get to that you need to go a step further than I did and remove the mainboard.
+Brue Computing Thank you for taking the time to answer me. In fact, I took it to the maintenance. The laptop always shows the error of the cmos battery but it seems the motherboard itself is defective. My little daughter spilled lots of water on it three months ago. Though the computer was miraculously mended by my friend, it has become now defective. It used to turn off without notice. It seems to have been some defective chip that heats up faster because of a short circuit or the like.
Where is the COMS in this model. I changed the BIOS setting and Now it does not boot up! I checked RAM and Hard drive are ok. The power botton lights up but black screen. I thought reset the BIOS manually!
set the bios back to the default settings, should work if OS was installed with the default settings.
Alexandros Angelov Nope!
Rick Rixot It doesn't start anymore and the F keys are not functional, however, the the power button turns on. I have check both RAM and SDD are ok.
It is integrated with the battery
i have one and it dont turn on can you help me??
i need help half of my laptops screen is pink after i updated windows..
hi. can i replace the wireless card ? (Intel Wireless Dual Band ac-3160) . bcoz suddenly the wifi weaks when receiving wifi signals . almost 1bar at all . i did nthing wrong in this laptop . so i dont know what actually happen . what do you think ? the wifi antenna or the adapter itself ?
I'd check the antenna cables haven't become detached first.
Where is the CMOS battery?
how do you edject the disc drive
Yep to much useful
Why i got only one ram slot??!?! :( shit!
Its my laptop im watching this on the toshiba L50D ...great laptop..it has served me well over the years and the graph card installed in it and runs nearly every game comfortably ... but it has a hinge failure which needs repair on these laptops as they are Fllimsey constructed by Toshiba... I think the heat coming out of it loosened the internal parts resulting in the failure.... your model has a removable battery well aren't you lucky...LoL.. mine dosen't for a L50... Black is the D... I also have a L50A which is white A..I am currently having cooling issues at the moment...I have bought a bucket of arctic cooling paste ...Because i ran out of mint cold fresh toothpaste......any upload how to do the paste sir?.
@Arsenic Pills i use my black one everyday for the last 6 six years and is going great still even with the fucked hinge ...i never took it in for repair am still waiting to get it done myself i dont trust any one with any pc ...being so i wouldnt take my worst enemy's pc in either.... so i will attempt to fix the screw holes which have been stripped but must tear it down to do it...im addicted to using it and hard too find a day to put it down to do it ...i also got the paste to replace as well and as general clean
BTW the battery has been dead for 3 years now might as well chuck in a fresh one also ...to do all this in a shop it would cost me more than the thing itself
Help?? Hi guys. Original toshiba hd failed on my L50-B-1DZ a while ago and I'm looking to replace it with a new one; my question may sound silly but where is the os stored on this baby? Will I lose my windows 10 by replacing the hd? Thank you
The hard drive has Windows 10 on it, so you'll have to do a clean Windows 10 install on to the replacement drive. The Windows 10 license is stored digitally and linked to the mainboard, so it should activate online after the install if you have a legitimate Windows 10 license from an upgrade.
good morning where is JCMOS OR JPW in this mothreboard please for remove password bios please
where is the bios? thankyou.
hi, you can do this with all Satellite L50 - B ? even with the L50 -B- 24x ?
+Francope57 I haven't tested myself, but I'd imagine they are all the same chassis.
Great video. Can you propose to me a 8gb ram module that fits with the pre-installed 4gb ram module?
DDR3-1600 module like this should do the trick: amzn.to/2a4CtMv
I'd probably fit a second 4GB module though, particularly if you play games as balanced memory configurations are a bit quicker typically.
Anyone know if an L50D-B-151 will be the same as this?

can I remove the heat sink to clean it and replace the heat paste without remowing the motherboard?
+Péter OLáh-Kátai Yep, as you can see at 3:54 onwards the plate is attached with 4 screws around the CPU - undo those and you should be able to lift out the plate, heatpipe and heatsink to clean it.
amazing thanks for the fast reply the video was very helpful
do you know what size the base screws are? thanks
Peter Barker would also like to know
I need to change the battery. How do I do it?
Removing the battery is literally the first step in the video.
Where the keyboard wiring
Hi, great video! But I have a question. Is it possible to install a SSD in the CD Drive bay? Because i don't have the CD drive only a plastic cover to hide the empty bay.
+RaptorCandy Yes, if you install a caddy like this you should be able to install an SSD or HDD in to the optical bay: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LIQOOB6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00LIQOOB6&linkCode=as2&tag=httpwwwbrue0a-21
Brue Computing Thank you!
my laptop is getting too much hot after half an hour.......is that usual or there is somthing wrong with my laptop...???? thnx
Is the fan working? If it is then check to see if any programs are running at high CPU occupancy all the time.
everything is okay with the CPU so i think the fan is getting hot and needs to clean
thank u anyway
I changed the ram and now my pic doesn't startup. can you help me?
Put the original memory back in and try it - could be the stuff you've bought is the wrong specs.
Where is a bios battery
do you know where is the BIOS battery???
Its on the other side of the mainboard, so you have to remove and turn over the whole board.
@@BrueComputing i do it, but this is not any battery :( i read that some laptops dont have a BIOS battery, that it use the principal battery...
how to fix no bootable device? do you know that?
On the existing hard drive, or a new one you've installed?
is it possible to upgrade the processor to an 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7 etc?
No, the CPU is soldered down and cannot be changed.
+Brue Computing If i take it out and re-solder the new one?
+William Morris Its soldered down with about 950 solder balls underneath, so not a chance! The equipment to do it would cost many many times more just buying a better laptop.
Well Can I Use the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 2x2 Network plus Bluetooth adapter (7260.HMWWB.R) In this laptop?
+Rishvvi Playz I don't think so - the 7260.HMWWBR is a Half size Mini PCIe card. This laptop uses an M.2 form factor wireless card.
+Brue Computing Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260NGW 802.11ac Wi-Fi & Bluetooth 4.0 TFK1F
Seems like it is M2 ?
+Rishvvi Playz Yes, that looks like the right kind of card.
+Brue Computing thx man buying right now
hey guys, after changing my hdd i have lost my sound on the computer. nothing is working. no sound from my laptop!! does anyone know what could be the reason and how to fix it? thank you
4 minutes to unscrew the bolts are you serious
where put I my cmos
Hmm... No ESD (electro-static discharge) strap to keep what ever static charge is on you off of your electronics. Just sayin'.
Its stupid how these hard drives are plugged into the board..I have a family members
no boot device found i guarantee its come loose stupid how its kept in place with
rubber.
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepl how to opet a cd drive for this laptop?????????????????????'
+Madam Alatiel To force the drive to open just use a paper clip to press the little emergency eject button (the small pinhole on the drive cover). To remove the drive from the laptop just undo the screw in the base of the laptop and then slide the drive out, as per the video.
there is no pinhole...is there any softwere way?
+Madam Alatiel In Windows right-click on the drive and select "Eject"
