Thread Starter 
Does anybody have a service manual for the Toshiba Satellite A60 (-129) please. I offered to repair it for a disabled person for free, but I had to wait 3 weeks for the mobo to arrive from Toshiba, trouble is that all the screws etc have got mixed up with other screws and now I don't know which ones go where. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I haven't seen one for that model. Since nobody has answered, I have a general section from another model that may help a little. The notation refers to the identification near the screw hole:

Marking of Screws on the Computer Body

To make maintenance of the computer easier, markings of the kinds of the screws including the types and lengths of the screws are indicated on the computer body.

Kind of screws Symbol
q Bind screw B
q Flat-head screw F
q Super flat-head screw S
q Tapping screw T
q Other screws
(Unique screws, stud, etc.) U

Examples:

q 6 mm bind screw B6
q 12 mm bind screw B12
q 5 mm stud
U5
(Indicates the screwed length in round number regardless the length of the stud.)

Here is another paragraph I should have included:

To avoid mistakes on the screw length, screws are colored or grip finished as follows:

q Even number length screw: brown grip finish (2 mm, 4 mm)
q Odd number length screw: silver (no grip finish) (3mm, 5mm)
q Special length screw: blue grip finish
Screws whose length is indicated to one or more decimal places. Such as 2.5mm or 2.8mm.
