32GB cache SSD is a separate component. You can see this drive in the step 5, it’s right above the yellow square.

Just install a regular 2.5″ SATA SSD instead of the failed spinning drive. It should run at full speed.

Refreshing to find blog-like page with good written directions and actual close-up pics (and not just a YT video). Especially since I could not find a Toshiba Service Manual for this Toshiba Satellite E45t-A4200. I’m helping a friend from church (for free). Needs a new battery but no surprise there. The 512gb spinning-platter HDD is going bad (Crystal Disk Info confirms SMART is reading Caution). So, what’s the deal with this rumored 32gb SSD cache drive? Is it a separate component or is it part of the HDD (like a Hybrid of some kind)? If I remove old (bad) HDD and (baby) SSD … do you think the my new 2.5inch 480gb SATA-3/600 Kingston SSD run at the full SATA-3/600 speed?

Could be failed charger. It’s necessary to test the charger with a voltmeter.

I’m not sure if this is going to help but you can try I guess. I remember a long time ago Toshiba Satellite A75 had a similar issue with the top case. The problem was so bad that Toshiba had to replace top cases with a modified version on countless laptops. I’m not sure what kind of modification it was.

Is there a way to fix this? What about putting insulator on the screwholes attaching the motherboard to the metalic case?

Probably badly designed grounding.

Howard, I’m not sure why you having a problem with removing the touchpad. It looks like all you have to do is remove two screws and disconnect the cables.
It’s necessary to remove the motherboard fist as it shown on the step 15. After that you can access the touchpad screws.

I never used anti-static wrist straps. Never had a problem. Just be careful and don’t touch the motherboard components.
