Hi everyone, thank you for 21:23 of your time. In this video I restore, fix and upgrade Toshiba Portage R930. The final result is: i5 3340, 8GB RAM and 120GB SSD.
I have this laptop and the wifi antenna (black and white) are sheared at the hinge. The wifi hadn't been working for years so I keep it running via ethernet, but recently the power jack needed replacing so I took a look at the same time to confirm. Do you have notes on how long the wifi antenna are? I can't find that spec online for ordering replacements and, watching your teardown they run behind the display and underneath the motherboard, so it's quite a lengthy process to get access to them to be able to measure for ordering replacements. I also don't see the similar (blue and red) wires running through the hinge on the opposite side, so I don't know if those are present without opening it all up again. What are those for? Should I be concerned?
Greetings I apologize for the late reply. I have had many such cases myself so far. Let me make it easy for you right now. The length of the wi-fi cables is important to you only for the reason that you can place the copper signal receivers at the end of those cables in the same place as before. You can insert these cables from almost all laptops, the cables do not have to be the same length (they can be shorter or longer), the color of the cables is unimportant (it is recommended to put the black color on connector A or 1 on the Wi-Fi card, but it is not crucial), and it will work great, trust me. If the cables are short, the copper or aluminum receivers at the end of the cables are glued anywhere on the display cover, it does not have to be glued as it was before. There is enough space behind the display to place it. Try to place the cables along the edges of the display, I would not recommend placing them behind the display because they are a little thicker so as not to damage the display. If the cables are longer, just wrap them around the display or along the edge of the display case. If you still don't understand something, feel free to ask me.
I have this laptop But I have fractures in the structure of the external device and the metal ornament on the edge of the screen that you was holding in the beginning of the video,, I lost it and the keyboard needs to be replaced Can I fix all these things .. or can i find it 🤝
Everything can either be made or other spare parts installed. The only question is whether it is worth doing or not. If you don't make it yourself and you have to wear it to a craftsman to do it ... then it could be a little more expensive. My opinion is that the cheapest option is for you to fix it or the simplest method is to buy a used spare part in your country. Each country has a platform for selling various used items and techniques, so it would be the easiest and cheapest way to do it.
Any laptop, where the temperature does not exceed 70C under heavy load is fantastic. Up to 80C can be tolerated. Over 80C is not good and should not be used in that condition. This problem must be resolved as soon as possible.
