Laptop Service Manuals - Schematics - Teardown Guides - tmy - 09-20-2015

Hello everyone,
Toshiba have decided we are all too stupid to be allowed access to their laptop service manuals unlike most other laptop makers. Seems they are determined to force everyone to one of their authorised service centres which is very kind of them and charge you a sizeable  ransom. Poor form Toshiba I won't be recommending Toshiba to any of my clients in future.

regards
