Can I replace my DVD burner drive for the drive on Aspire E5 - 551 G-T018?

Hello

Recently I opened my Matthew acer aspire E5 - 551 G-T018 to replace my 1 TB to 240 GB SSD HARD drive.

And now I recently saw on a website that there are these caddy that can be used to replace the DVD rom for extra HDD or SSD.

My laptop has a DVD. It is held by a screw in the back. DVD rom doesn't have a SATA connector, but some small connector and SATA, I don't know his name.

What I was wondering is would it be possible to replace the DVD rom on this model for a caddy with my old HDD in there?

And if it's possible. Thickness of which would I need for my future caddy?

Thank you!

You need a basket similar to this, I post this link only for information, do not buy from this link, you can google for the same product and get any retailers in your country for travel instructions in youtube and you can find some videos.

  • Satellite 5200 801: how to replace DVD burning drive?

    Hello
    A few days ago, I decided to replace my CD/DVD burning drive (burn DVD at 1 x) with a more faster and more modern.
    The problem is that, while turning on my laptop, it stops without any error message, as if she could not recognize the hard drive, so there is no professional Windows startup (problem of configuration master / slave?).
    I tried with two different burning drives and I also upgraded the BIOS of the laptop to version 1.40 (date 17/04/2003), but there was no result.
    Help me thanks
    Riccardo - Lecce - ITALY (South)

    You guessed it right,

    It's a question of master/slave/CS.
    Find out your old drive (firmware DI has something like 170) and try to locate the sense of them (current setting of M/S/CS) of it through the Internet on specific DVD player forums.

    Then determine WHAT type of disc, you will need to buy to make it work on your computer (or find the firmware suitable for do this... you'll need a different laptop that DOESN'T RECOGNIZE the DVD drive in the State, it is now).

    DVD Slimline portable computer readers usually do not come with a rider to make this adjustment (M/S/CS) on your own but are set with the internal firmware for this. There are other ways on how to get it to work (to force a shortcut on the back of the card), but I would not go for it if I were you.

    Hi dave04079,

    Yes, you also get access to install Photoshop on your computer when a member of the creative cloud.

    So I recommend that you please complete the creative process (Windows) Task Manager Cloud and activity monitor (MAC) and then reopen creative cloud.

    Sign to the creative cloud, then go ahead and install Photoshop.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  • Need help to replace my DVD burner in the Acer laptop

    Hello

    I have a laptop Acer (TravelMate 5720) running in very good condition I bought about 7 years back!

    However, the motor in the DVD player does not now - he is gone and must be replaced by a new DVD burner.

    When I checked on eBay to buy a new DVD burner for this model, there are 2 types sold either IDE (PATA) and SATA DVD burners. I don't know which of those above my laptop supports.

    I checked the properties of the CD drive in my computer and it says "hl-dt-st dvdram gsa-t40n ata device.

    How will I know which of the 2 above that you buy... ??

    Kindly help me. Let me know in case additional specifications are necessary on this you.

    -Mr. Abed

    You must remove the unit from your laptop. You will immediately see if it has an IDE or a SATA connector. See Wikipedia so not sure what these connectors look like.
