If your Dynabook Portege X40-M has a broken screen, will not charge, runs hot or will not start, we can diagnose and repair it at our Bermondsey workshop. It is a 14-inch laptop from 2024. Both the drive and, on most configurations, the memory can be upgraded, which makes it a good candidate for a refresh.

What we repair on the Dynabook Portege X40-M
Screen replacement
A broken 14-inch screen is replaced with a panel of the same resolution and finish. We check the display cable while the lid is open.
Price confirmed before work starts
SSD and storage upgrade
The Dynabook Portege X40-M takes an M.2 SSD. We clone the existing drive to a larger one so Windows, programs and files carry over unchanged.
Price confirmed before work starts
Memory upgrade
On most configurations of the Dynabook Portege X40-M, part of the memory is soldered and there is one free slot, so it can be increased but not replaced entirely.
Windows repair and reinstall
The Dynabook Portege X40-M shipped with Windows 11. We repair start-up faults, reinstall Windows cleanly with your files kept, and remove malware.
Battery replacement
We replace the internal battery and check the charging circuit and adapter at the same time.

Charging port and power repair
Depending on the configuration this charges through a round socket, USB-C or both. We test the adapter, the port and the charging circuit to find which has failed.
We also carry out keyboard and trackpad repair, motherboard repair, liquid damage repair, overheating and fan repair, hinge and casing repair, virus removal on the Dynabook Portege X40-M, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults, BIOS password removal with proof of ownership and data transfer to a new machine.
What we see on the bench
- Parts for Toshiba-era models are increasingly refurbished-only.
- Tecra and Portege are the business ranges, with docking and USB-C charging on recent Dynabook models.
Data recovery from the Dynabook Portege X40-M
The SSD in the Dynabook Portege X40-M can be removed and imaged on our own equipment, so files can usually be recovered even when the machine will not start. Recent Windows machines often have device encryption or BitLocker switched on. If so we will need the recovery key, which is normally saved in your Microsoft account.

Its nearest relatives in the Toshiba Tecra and Portege range are the older Dynabook Tecra A40-K (2022). It is the most recent 14-inch model of the range that we list.
