The durability of this laptop is below average. While the chassis plastic is quite fine, the internal circuitry is quite lacking. The use of poor quality capacitors and electronics design make the infamous P30 error to be quite common. Unfortunately, when you try to replace the capacitor there is very little space to install a new one and installing may not fix the issue as the system board may be damaged. | The durability of this laptop is below average.

Disassembly is very difficult as there are many screws, layered boards and a complex way to link components. This is typical of many compact Toshiba laptops. Unfortunately, the poor board design and many shortcomings such as the harddrive make this model quite avoidable. Keep in mind that compatible 486-era harddrives are very difficult to find in good condition and they are quite small. Modern IDE harddrives and flash storage solutions such as compact flash are entirely incompatible. | Disassembly is very difficult as there are many screws, layered boards and a complex way to link components.

Forget about replacing an old or damaged LCD fluorescent lamp as the screen is very difficult to disassemble except for very courageous and meticulous persons. | |||
