General Comments
Where does one begin? I was unlucky and stupid enough to think Toshiba had cornered the market on Desktop replacements. What I discovered was a very heavy laptop, with less than 40 minutes of battery power, and a computer that crashed more than a drunk being chased byu the cops. What an amazing piece of junk!!!! From the very first moment that I hit the power button, I was released on a long fantasy Journey of customer service and half-assed tech support. Toshiba was kind enough to say: "So the computer keeps crashing, have you tried to reboot?" after it crashed 24 times.
never again

The bezel in front of the display is held down by two screws above the keyboard on each side of the Toshiba logo (behind black stickers).
