3. Removing and replacing the CMOS battery.

Key installation guide for a Toshiba laptop.
The power button on your Toshiba Satellite A70/A75 or Satellite P30/P35 laptop got broken. It was pushed into the case and now you cannot turn on the laptop. What could be done to fix the problem?
The power button is a part of the laptop top cover assembly. It’s permanently attached to the top cover with a few plastic bridges. When the power button pushed into the case, it means one or more plastic bridges are broken.
In order to fix the power button you’ll have to replace the laptop top cover assembly.
This post will help you to disassemble an Acer TravelMate 2300 laptop. One of my readers Richard Stutely found a lot of similarities between Acer TravelMate 2300 and Acer TravelMate 3620. He was fixing the failed power jack in his laptop.

My notebook came with 1 GB (two 512MB modules). After reading the service manual, I found that this model can take up to 4GB total. You can install up to 2GB memory module into each slot. 4GB memory upgrade kits (2×2GB) are available here. HP recommends using PC-4200 DDR2-533 SODIMM memory modules.
If you cannot find PC-4200 DDR2-533 memory, you can use PC-5300 DDR2-677 or PC-6400 DDR2-800 modules. They should work fine.
