I need to replace my broken DVD/CD-ROM for my Toshiba Qosmio G25-AV513. Is there a guide and/or video for removing and replacing the DVD/CD-ROM?

If you are pretty good at computers then you can open up the computer and see just how bad the damage is. You may need to replace the keyboard, or a few parts of he mother board. If it was water I think you would have more of a chance, but the sugar will definitely cause problems if it hit any circuit boards. Your best bet is to take out your hard drive, make it an external hard drive and get a new computer.

Hi Paul have a g25-av513. First disconnect and remove both hard drives and the battery. In the battery compartment there is a small screw you need to remove and in the hard drive 2 bay there are 2 f8 screws that need to be removed as well. In all there should be 17 screws that need to be removed before you can pop the back cover off. When removing pay close attention to the connectors attached to the underside of the back cover. be careful not to pull to hard or you may tear the connectors which are very thin wires. First you have to remove all the screws on the underside of the laptop. The screws are marked f8's and f16's the longer ones are the f16's of course. I have taken mine apart several times already due to a boot up shut down issue which I believe is related to the modem board underneath hard drive 2. It seems that when ever I disconnect and reconnect this board my power shut down issue disappears. If it happens again I'm going to remove i all together and see if that takes care of my problem.

You most likely have a defective screen - a defective inverter or a CCFL lamp or simply the video cable needs reseating. After reseating the video cable and the problem is still there then :-
To determine if you have a LCD screen or video card problem, read this and follow the instructions.

Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom:

• Screen flashs on red/pink and off.
• Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal.
• Picture flickering with dim display or appear black.
• Picture flickering on and off.

All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp

Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight.

Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

You would have to open up the laptop and make sure everything is pushed in.
