Toshiba Laptop Battery Board Repair

Like many electronics devices, the battery in your Toshiba laptop uses a small circuit board known as a battery board to operate. If you've been having problems with your battery, it is most likely the result of a bad battery cell connection to the battery board. This problem can be fixed by opening up the battery itself.

1. Unplug your battery from the bottom of your Toshiba laptop and place it on a sturdy work surface.

2. Insert the tip of your screwdriver in the seam where the top half of the battery meets the bottom half. Work your way around the sides of the battery until the top half pops off. Set the top half aside.

3. Locate the cylindrical battery cells in the bottom half of the battery housing and lift them out of the housing. Notice the cell wires that connect to the green motherboard on the side of the battery housing.

4. Check for any wires that half broken off their connectors on the top of the laptop battery board. Plug in your soldering iron and let it warm up.

5. Solder the ends of the cell wires to the ports on the top of the battery board and wait a few moments for the solder to dry.

6. Run hobby glue along the top of the housing and then fit the top half of the housing over the bottom. Wait a few moments for the glue to dry.
