Great video David! I was under the impression that this model would be difficult because the design is a lot more "closed up" then my earlier Satellite. Thanks again!
I've had one of these for quite some time now (must be about 5 years), have replaced the Battery, upgraded to an SSD, regularly cleaned the fan and heat sink and just recently replaced the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU. Quite an easy system to work on really. Still performs well, especially with the SSD upgrade, but only any good for 5+ year old games as most new games require more than the 2GB VRam. It Idles silent and boots to a usable state in less than 10 seconds
Thank you for this video. Does this particular laptop have a CMOS battery inside or is everything powered from the internal battery?? I have a P50-A (very similar), it it will not power on now. Have replaced the internal battery twice now, so not sure if it is a bad CMOS or if the internal battery needs replacing once again. Thank you.
Hey, my P50t-B laptop can disable the battery from the BIOS (for servicing porpuses). The laptop cannot be powered again until it is connected to an AC adapter, meaning that the battery is effectively disconnected. This should be a safe way to "disconnect" the battery, right? Otherwise your video was very helpful, thanks for uploading it to TH-cam!
dpcomputing No problem :-). The Toshiba videos on how to replace an HDD by oneself and your video both point out that it is important to disconnect the battery before "servicing". I used the BIOS option to replace my laptop's HDD, and as far as I can tell no harm was done to the laptop.
Yep I did it last weekend, firt time I 'teared down' a laptop. Was easy enough. I think this is good laptop to start with as you do not have to take the keyboard out like some others.
Fantastic video mate...Thank you... I have a P50t-B which looks almost identical. My battery is dead and I need to replace it. So I don't have to remove the back just to see and order the battery would you be kind enough to tell me what battery model number to order so I can just open up the laptop the once to change it out ? Much appreciated mate.. Thanks heaps 😃
David thanks for the video. The button near the SD slot what is that four I'm hoping its the jumper for the bios, I'm trying to clear a bios password thanks john
Was just wondering if you would know where i can get my hands on a replacement mother board for the Toshiba Satellite P50t-a, exactly the same as the one in the video. In desperate need of one asap.
i have a similar model my dad brought home from work, his boss wants to see if i can get it fixed. problem no power and not charging. the LED are not lighting up at all. tried re-seating ram, hdd, battery, cmos battery. will try the keyboard not sure if that can cause no power to the entire system. any thoughts on that sir?
Cheers for the video. Is it possible to remove the Li-Ion battery and leave the AC adapter plugged in to prevent the battery from getting hot while gaming? I'll be leaving the laptop in one location over the next few hot summer months.
doueven hmmm, yes it should be possible but I haven't tested it on that model. Why don't you just remove the battery and see it it works from just a power cable? Then let us know if it works!
Thanks a lot for your nice and clear video. Can you explain if its easy to upgrade the of the wireless adapter 7260 (300mbs) for the new one: INTEL 7260.HMWWB.R Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 - (867mps). I think i saw it in your video near the battery.. Do you know if its easy to change it? Do you have any video changing the hdd to sdd and intslling a cady dvd drive with the original hdd? Do you think is easy to change the SO Windows 8 to the sdd? Very gratefull for the video. Hope this questions can be of interest to other fellows. My toshiba is a P50-A-12z ( i7-4700MQ) (NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 745M) with 1TB hdd and 8GB ram (2x4gb), I waana upgrade ram to 16gb the wireless card and the hdd to ssd. I´ll think that i´ll get State of the art performance. I think that i´ll waste about 100€-16Gb ram + 120€256gbsdd + 25€-7260 + 20€caddy. This upgrade is about +/-250€. I like to know your opinion and other friends here about this idea.?
Luis Manuel Yes the wireless NIC is easy - just remove the antenna and a couple of screws (you could also plug in a USB adapter to make it super easy). The SSD upgrade will give it a great boost in speed but I don't have a video showing this upgrade - if you are unsure take it to a qualified person.
dpcomputing Thanks for you opinion. I´ve already order this 16GB ram at ebay: New Hynix 8GB PC3L-12800 1.35V DDR3 1600mhz 204pin Laptop Memory Ram NON-ECC Item price: £112.00. PQ371 GG597 Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260.HMWWB Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card - £28.82 I share this for someone who wants to build a great and powered laptop. As soon as i can i´ll invest in SSD and the caddy. Just wiating for more financial disponibilty and some kind of promotion. Congratulations for your work hope you could get the return from the universe for such interesting videos. Be happy. Regards from Portugal. luis
Is there a Battery reset access point on the back? I read that in a repair blog thread. I dont see anything on this video that looks like it would be a reset access hole.
Juan José Aguilar It's SATA 3. Just upgraded mine to an SSD. It takes me 17 seconds from turned off to a Google search on Firefox! Plus I got an HDD caddy for the CD reader, so my old hdd id still in there in place of the cd reader. Had to do this because the computer will only boot from the SATA 0( internal) slot.
I am trying to figure out how to replace the keyboard for this unit. All videos I've seen so far do not seem to be like my unit p55t a5202. Can anyone tell me how to get to it? I do not have a little plastic strip above the keyboard. There is a chrome strip that seems permanent.
+NerdyStarProductions Just try the toshiba website, I got a new battery from the first website that came up, they literaly got the same model battery that it came with(from toshiba) and covered the Toshiba logos with Texta lol
Thank you for your video. I have a problem I am hoping you may be able to assist me. My wifi just stop working on my P50t-a and I tried running a troubleshoot along with disabling wifi connection through network connection, and uninstalled/reinstalled the wifi adapter in device manager. Although it show the wifi adapter there but it does not seem to fix the error. Is there away you may guide me to fix this.
Hello David, I have the exact model Toshiba Satellite P50t-A. I need locate the jumpers on the motherboard that are used to reset the CMOS/BIOS password. For other models, they are easy to spot and they should be marked?! I could not locate them for this model. Can you help? Regards, Ahmad
I am trying to clone the HDD to SSD and was going to put in the CD/DVD drive. but soon found out the delock slim sata frame isn´t the same size. Anyway. I was advised before removing the HDD to disconnect the battery so I did. after putting everything together with the old HDD in its place ( going to use USB-SATA for the cloning) the computer won´t boot. No lights, nothing.. any idea?
Aleksandar Kospenda stupid question but is the battery properly connected and the power plugged in? If so can you check that the hard drive is properly connected and that you didn't accidentally disconnect anything else?
do you know how to remove the touch screen module from the screen? I have quiet a lot of dust between the touch screen module and the lcd, and would like to clean it without damage it. any suggestion?
Any way to add a second 2.5" drive to the laptop? I have the P55t-A5118 and I'm going to replace the stock drive. I want a SSD for the OS and a HDD for everything else.
DecimateTheWeak100 yes there is. Just uograded mine. Buy an HDD caddy for 9.5" HDD for the CD drive, replace the inner hdd with an SSD and put the other one in the caddy , which will substitute your CD reader. Really easy.
Brendan Mendonca Yes there is. I've done it. Takes me 17 seconds from turned off to a completed Google search in firefox. You have to place the SSD in the inner SATA port and the HDD in the cd caddy, since the computer only alows the inner sata to have bootable media.
Anyone of the P50 owners has problem with unsticking speakers cover? (mesh over speakers) Recently a have noticed that flaw on my notebook, this piece seems to be mounted with glue...so far this element has separated in 40% from the case. Damn, I always thought that Toshiba is producing good quality gear.
I have a black screen on my laptop once I turn it on. I let the battery die out and recharged it. Also tried connecting it to an external screen but nothing works. Any suggestions?
Ricardo Alvarado could be a hard drive, memory or motherboard problem. Does anything at all appear on the screen (ie the initial BIOS screen, a flashing cursor)?
Can i upgrade to two hard drives (HDD and SSD) if i take off the optical drive? Also what battery would i buy to replace the old one? Mine is only taking about one hour... Thanks in advance
Luiz Wagner You would need specific caddy to hold the hdd in the spot made for the optical drive. So while it is technically possible I wouldn't recommend it. I'd suggest you go for one of the hybrid (SSD + platter) drives.
What i found was during the time the SSHD does not perform as good as in the begin, do you know anything about that? And the maximum amount is 8gb flash for laptops?
Luiz Wagner at the beginning the sshd is learning about what type of data to keep in the cache / SSD part. So yes at the beginning the speed improvement is not too great but will slowly improve as it learns.
Oh, ok I have Toshiba P50_B_103 and i have some cover ... (or maybe dust filter, I dont know) on fan side ... watch this: prohardver.hu/dl/cnt/2014-08/110751/toshiba_p50_b_103_6.jpg
Jack Telling Would taking everything apart be extremely hard? also can I test that the new keyboard works before I place the motherboard back on by only plugging it in or?
Hello everybody, I've recently broke the female end of the charger, the part thats actually in the laptop which goes directly go the motherboard. I was wondering if anyone has one to sell or could point me in the right direction as to where i could find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated and will send money to anyone that helps me locate one. cheers.
+Aaron Jessome is it completelly ruined? If not, have you tried resoldering the one you got? I had charging problems in an old Toshiba due to a microcrack in the solder and doing that worked.
Why don't you say if it's either voiding your warranty or not and not just 'maybe'. You guys are being lazy can't be bothered to do some research and just falling back to the 'just in case' reasoning. People will be scared by your warning and not bother with upgrading their computer and just get a replacement. Which brings me to another point... Do you know how much trash we throw out each year?
Thanks. Maybe perhaps next time you can add that into the video? Some computers do void the warranty just by opening it whether you break something inside or not. For instance AiO and some desktops. I know plenty of people who think wrongly that their laptop will be void just by opening it. That's not the case. Anyway, thanks for the video, I honestly do appreciate it. I've just completed a HDD to SDD clone for a customer and your video did help speed up the process. Many thanks.
No, opening the case doesn't automatically void the warranty despite what the manufacturers say. It all depends on the laws of the country you are in as to what constitutes voiding the warranty - manufacturers have to abide by local laws and rules! Thanks for the feedback though, much appreciated.
Great video David! I was under the impression that this model would be difficult because the design is a lot more "closed up" then my earlier Satellite. Thanks again!
Cheers for this, was looking at purchasing one of these but had no idea how easy to upgrade the HDD for an SSD....easy enough thanks to your video.

Can I install a 4gb ram directly without removing the battery?
I know it's too late But I still own this laptop. Can I put M.2/nvme SSD (Not SATA) on this laptop. Does it have a slot for NVME?
Wow .. Great ♥
Please reply, is this disk suitable for this laptop?
Kingston NV1 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Internal SSD Up to 2100 MB/s SNVS/2000G .

Was just wondering if you would know where i can get my hands on a replacement mother board for the Toshiba Satellite P50t-a, exactly the same as the one in the video. In desperate need of one asap.
Thanks for the video. Very clear and consise. What do you use for static protection?
Thanks for the feedback. i have an anti static wrist strap.
i have a similar model my dad brought home from work, his boss wants to see if i can get it fixed. problem no power and not charging. the LED are not lighting up at all. tried re-seating ram, hdd, battery, cmos battery. will try the keyboard not sure if that can cause no power to the entire system. any thoughts on that sir?

Just was I was looking for ! Thanks dude ;p

How it went with an upgrade mate?
What's the part number for the battery? I'm not tech savvy enough to work it out myself. :-/
Is there a Battery reset access point on the back? I read that in a repair blog thread. I dont see anything on this video that looks like it would be a reset access hole.

I have the exact model Toshiba Satellite P50t-A. I need locate the jumpers on the motherboard that are used to reset the CMOS/BIOS password. For other models, they are easy to spot and they should be marked?! I could not locate them for this model.
Can you help?
Regards,

It uses EFI not CMOS/BIOS. Instead of storing the settings in volatile memory with a battery backup they are saved on an EFI partition on your HDD.
Alexandra - I'd check out Ebay or your local Toshiba repair centre.
Thank you for the video.
Is it possible to remove and replace keyboard ?
Samy Mantegazza yes it is but at this stage I don't have a video showing a keyboard replacement.
Did you manage to get the keyboard out ? Any help on how to take the top off the keyboard section ??
I am looking for instructions to get to the keyboard. Part of my keys are not working. Did you ever figure out how to get to it? Thanks
Nope I never managed too. I took apart a lot of the back. But you need to basically dissemble the whole internal to get to it.
many thanks!!
Very helpful, thx so much !!!
+dpcomputing What products would be best to use for cleaning the dust from the heat sink and fan?
+Adam Cosenza I use a small brush and compressed air.

Any chance of replacing the dvd-drive with the hard drive and replacing the hard drive space with a SSD?
Brendan Mendonca The connectors I believe are different so you would have to do a bit of hacking to get it working.

Does anybody know if touchscreen glass for toshiba p50T fits to p50A?
What is the product number for the battery? i need to find a new battery, but i have a hard time finding the one i need.
Nicolai Aspelin I'm not sure where you are located but these are the batteries for the PSPMHA-0DP04S store.emprgroup.com.au/c-45235-battery-main.aspx
dpcomputing I'm living in norway. i got a satellite p50t-A-115. Which one of them will work for my computer? cant see any pictures from the store.
dpcomputing product number is PSPMHE-00R001N5. Got my computer on repair so i had to find it first
thank you!
hi, do you know whats the size of the hdd i want to replace it but i don't want to mess my order, thanks
+carlosstephanor different models have different sized hard drives. Or do you mean the physical dimensions?
+dpcomputing I'm talking about the phisical dimensions, so i can upgrade the storage, thanks
carlosstephanor its the same as a normal 2.5" drive.
Hi, Would a 2.5 inch 9.5mm depth hard disk fit?
Baba Ijebu it does
The reset is near the the top right screw. Between the screw and foot-pad. It is very faint on this video
Deano Man the reset for what?
There is 4 screws holding the battery in 😀
you already did remove dust filter ?
celuar3 no. Everything I removed is shown in the video.
Oh, ok I have Toshiba P50_B_103 and i have some cover ... (or maybe dust filter, I dont know) on fan side ... watch this:
prohardver.hu/dl/cnt/2014-08/110751/toshiba_p50_b_103_6.jpg
celuar3 I think what you are talking about may be connect to the back cover which you can remove.
was that a 2.5 or 3.5 inch hard drive?
Its a 2.5" drive.
dpcomputing Thank you for that helpful reply, I am trying to upgrade mine using your video. Thank you again!
Anyone know how to change the keyboard, I have split liquid in the Keyboard and it needs to be replaced ??
Jack Telling I did the same thing spilled liquid on my keyboard and really need to know how to replace it! do you know how?
I never got it apart. It is basically at the bottom of everything. You have to take everything out. It was too big a task for my liking.
Jack Telling Would taking everything apart be extremely hard? also can I test that the new keyboard works before I place the motherboard back on by only plugging it in or?
Jack Telling Basically my laptop keyboard is working but typing random 0000 and combinations of keys endlessly
Where in this pc is the wifi receiver?
Aaron Robertson The wifi adapter is a plug card and is located at the bottom approx halfway along between the battery and fan.
dpcomputing thank you very much!
Aaron Robertson no problems, glad to be of help!
It's the same model as in this video, Toshibe p50t-A
for hard drive it s sata III connection ?
marac it is a standard sata connector.
dpcomputing when I buy ssd hard for toshiba p50-A i just need ssd with standard sata connector for laptop ?
marac tell them you want to put it in a laptop and they should get you a 2.5" SSD drive.
dpcomputing big thank you !
can u remove keyboard in this modeI?
+Pablo A Yes you can but I don't have a video on that.

How can I replace the keyboard?
blue_planet I need to know this too! did you manage to change the keyboard on yours? I really need to know how
I already replaced it. it was easy but take some time.
blue_planet by take some time you mean to disassemble it ? how easy is it to put everything back on?
it was easy for me because it's not the first time. do it carefully and slowly. It take some time to disassemble and reassemble it again.

Anyway, thanks for the video, I honestly do appreciate it. I've just completed a HDD to SDD clone for a customer and your video did help speed up the process. Many thanks.
No, opening the case doesn't automatically void the warranty despite what the manufacturers say. It all depends on the laws of the country you are in as to what constitutes voiding the warranty - manufacturers have to abide by local laws and rules! Thanks for the feedback though, much appreciated.
Thank you!
