How to take apart Compaq 2103 laptop
Hi. I have a Compaq Presario 2103 laptop that won't charge. I think
the problem is in the power jack. I have tried taking it apart to solder the jack, but apparently there are two screws in the middle of the computer that can't be accessed from the bottom or top. I think I see the bottom (not the head) of one screw beneath the plastic around where the memory plugs in. I think the heads of these two screws must be under the spacebar or under something else that is under the spacebar. Do you have any suggestions? --Bob |

My Toshiba has a decorative section at the base of the keyboard that unclips to allow the keyboard to be lifted out. Wes. |

You need the factory service manual, which has step by step instructions.

It may convince me that I shouldn't try it, but even if I don't use the manual for this repair I'll probably find it useful in the future. |
