• Can I install a DVD - RW on my Satellite Pro A10 drive?

  I want to upgrade the drive of DVD ROM/CD-RW (SD-R2412) on my Satellite Pro A10 on a DVD - RW drive, so I can burn DVDs. I bought a Toshiba (TS-L632) DVDRW drive, because it's exactly the same size and shape, such as the existing DVD ROM drive, the same voltage (5v) and the same connector.

  However, after installation and setting on the laptop, it is not recognized as being installed that is to say, there is no sign of it at all on the computer. Is it because the laptop is completely unable to support a DVD - RW disc, or have I bought an incompatible device? If so, is there a compatible DVDRW drive?

  Thanks in advance,
  Fred.

  PS the exact model of the Satellite Pro is PSA15E - 0115Q - EN

• Cannot open the DVD drive to insert a CD or DVD

  My DVD player won't open and a small rectangular orange light flashes when I press the Open button. I checked and the system says that the drive is functional. Anyone has any ideas how to fix?

  Thank you.

  The CD/DVD drive provides a small hole. Try using the thin wire and insert it into the hole. This should open the CD/DVD drive manually.

• You are looking for an internal DVD drive for a Satellite Pro A40

  Hello

  I'm looking for an internal DVD burner for a model Satellite Pro A40 2.88 Celeron with a currently installed CD-RW/DVD-Rom. My mother is the owner of this laptop and I want to upgrade the drive for her.

  Does anyone here know of any number of model of the DVD-RW/CD-RW/DVD-Rom that is compatible with this model.

  I want the drive to function as a DVD-Rom/CD-RW also because I do not want to lose these features. Swap the bezel above if necessary isn't a problem for me.

  Thank you

  Hello
  For this particular model, I could not find another A40 Pro which has a DVD - RW, only DVD ROM. I also suggest to buy an external DVD - RW writer because an internal hard drive will cost much more. Probably triple what external there. External, you can find for about 50 but internal will cost at least about 90 more taxes. I'm sure it is internal that correspond to this machine, but at the moment I don't have the time to research each compatible model search of the car, it's why I suggest an external drive. I hope this helps.

• Can I use a 12.5 mm HDD satellite Pro A10?

  Hi all just joined forum

  My daughter has a old enough Satellite Pro laptop computer A10m, and it was said that his hard drive is passed, question, I have a spare 20gig 2.5 "IDE / PATA 12.5 mm thickness of hard disk, it will fit. I know normal laptops have a 9.5 mm thick disc, not sure where I got this from, it was just in my trash drawer.

  see you soon

  Spike

  Hello

  As far as I know standard 20 GB HARD drive used by Satellite Pro A10 is 9.5 mm but I think you can also use 12.5 mm.
  Test it.

• Satellite Pro A10 - no answer - enter HDD #0 error

  Pro warranty A10, student daughter portable computer reports no longer works, already suspended and finally no response from any other lights at the entrance to DC charger is connected.

  Clean fan/radiator, a lot of lint etc. removed. No obvious signs to know why the Board me dead however. Confirmed with counters that this DC of the shipper in me Board. Ordered A replacement me Board, FHZSY1, eBay and equipped, taking the precautions of static, but can not confirm that they were done by the seller.
  Now, new Board of Directors recognizes the input DC and recharged the battery OK. Tried to turn on the laptop but terrible mistake INPUT #0. Concluded that the HARD drive had also been damaged. New (Toshiba box) arrived two days later but gave the same error when mounted. BIOS won't recognize HARD at all. Tried all the messages on the verification of the connections and certainly not of mounted riders. Laptop will continue to start from a system CD, as it may then think the new me Board is OK

  Are the HARD drive of the Satellite Pro A10 different from those on the A10 satellite earlier?
  Any other ideas on this INPUT #0 error?
  Thank you

  Hello

  As much as I know there is no different hard disks and your use of the same laptop as most other Toshiba laptops. I can just write that this error is certainly resulting HARD disk problem. The HARD drive is obviously not identified by BIOS correctly.

  Sorry but I have no more info on this subject. By the way: is the motherboard new or used one?

• Satellite Pro A10 - CD/DVD drive - updated?

  I have an A10 and a few remnants of the A15 which I cannibalise the parts.
  The A10 has DVD playback only, while the A15 motorway had features of reading / writing DVD.

  Desperately the A10 BIOS does not recognize the A15 CD/DVD drive.
  Anyone know if it is possible to obtain this recognition - could I swap chips BIOS with the A15 for example?

  This machine is my toy and I have it running with a Pentium 4 M 2.4 GHz and 1 GB of ram (frustrating it does not accept the sticks of 1 GB!).

  It's a gift so if I break, well I'll be sad - but not heart broken...

  Hello
  You can only use the BIOS that came out for the Satellite Pro A10 series and which is available on the Toshiba page.

  But why you n t use a CD/DVD drive that is compatible with the model Satellite Pro A10?
  The manual provides details on supported devices.
  I found the user manual [here: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/userman-en-20090121085356.zip]

  On page 4-7 you will find info on the STRANGE devices supported by Pro A10
  -TEAC CD-224th CD-ROM drive
  -DW-224th drive TEAC CD-RW/DVD-ROM
  -Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-C2612
  -Diving Toshiba CD-RW/DVD-ROM SD-R2412
  -DVD-R /-RW drive SD-R6012
  -Hitachi drive of DVD - ROM RDA-8082
  -Player Panasonic UJDA-740/750 CD/RW/DVD-ROM

  Hope that the list could be useful.

• Satellite Pro A10 display and DVD issues

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 about 2 1/2 years and have never had a problem with him, but the other day when I tried to watch a DVD, look at a program (InterActual Player) opened as usual and then a few more seconds later the display will change in very low resolution (something like 14 colors, almost a negative and all image was massive Although I don't remember the actual numbers) and he said that I had to reboot in order to return things to normal. I tried the same DVD in Windows Media Player, as well as to try other DVDs and initially that the DVD would play in Media Player but not Interactual but now the same thing happens any DVD or player that I use.

  Also, I went on the computer this morning and got a message saying that the battery is low (although it was because I had not plugged the computer again, nothing to do with the last errors) and the computer is in standby. I plugged in the computer and you press the power button to wake the screen is very dark but visibly pixelated (I think that's the word, he had visible points, as if someone were holding a magnifying glass up to her) and got very slowly brighter until there has been a series of narrow bright stripes, like a giant pixel or a tv test screen.
  This could be a problem with the display drivers (even though I tried to update and we found since I always see a message 'Cannot find the requested string' by the icon for display in the control panel), the screen itself, or something else entirely?

  Sorry it's so long, but I thought it is best to include all the details in case it has been important. I hope someone can help!

  Hello Nicola

  As you know on this path is not easy to say what may be the problem. In my opinion, it is important to see what is happening exactly. I assume that your problem is not caused by the display driver. Try to properly test and notice where the screen is very dark.

  If this problem is repeated again and again that I recommend you backup your data and reinstall the unit with recovery media. On this path of unity will be factory configured and you can see if the problem still occurs. If so, it may be just caused by a malfunction of the equipment.

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro A10: DVD rom sd c2612 stopped reading discs completely

  OK, I have a Satellite Pro A10, recently it is just stopped reading discs completely! Ive got no idea what wrong with and do not know if you need to replace? I prefer not too.

  If anyone has any advice on repairing it I would appreciate it. If not if anyone knows if there any compatible DVD readers writing? also the best place to buy?

  Help, please!

  Hello

  This does not sound well :( I think it could be a hardware problem maybe something wrong with the lens of the drive
  Anyway, usually it of not possible to fix these issues or it s not worth repairing, because the costs are too high
  Thus, it seems that you need to replace. But be careful. Not all readers are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings.
  I would recommend so contact the ASP in your country to get a compatible drive.

  But please try this proposal;
  Sometimes, the Player cannot read the Middle due to the incorrect registry key.
  Remove the upper and lower filter filter in this key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  and restart the laptop. Maybe it helps

  Good luck

• On Satellite Pro A10 HARD drive replacement

  Hi all

  Ive currently got my moms Satellite Pro A10 sitting in front of me. Wouldn't load XP at all so I downloaded Knoppix and ran the liveCD on the laptop. After some tests, it seems that the HARD drive has failed.

  The vehicle currently has a 30GB HDD (MK3021GAS HDD2182 B ZE01 T) with a rated output DC + 5V 0. 7A.

  Told me that any HARD drive would work so I ordered a replacement of 100 GB of Fuji, except its a little too long to drive HARD case and it seems to be the cause of my power light flashes orange. Rated power on it is + 5V 0.55 a.

  Im stuck, what do I do?

  Hello

  > told me that any HARD drive would work as well
  It is not quite correct! There are material limitations.

  I discovered that the phone supports 20 GB; 30 GB; 40 GB and possibly a 60 GB HARD drive.
  I m not 100% sure of more HARD drive sizes due to the limitation of the BIOS.
  You should know that not all HARD drive sizes are recognized by the BIOS.

  Further, you should take a look at the supported interface.
  The laptop supports an Enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface and that's why you should buy a HARD drive that require this kind of hardware specification.

• Satellite Pro A10 does not start (HARD drive seems to be missing)

  Hello, I hope someone can give me some advice on this problem: I have a 2 years Satellite Pro A10. Recently, it starts not at all and I noticed that if I look at directories on the C: drive using the command prompt, it said "file not found". Cannot start Windows at all, not even in Safe Mode.
  Using the recovery disks is I help spread messages as no such fixed disc and 'Extraction impossible '.
  is - that say I have:
  1 a hard drive damaged
  2. defective connections on the HARD drive? -If Yes, how I fix that?

  the system didn't crash before it happened, she doesn't have to load up when I started it.
  Would appreciate any help.

  Thank you
  SCL

  Hello

  Well, it could be a hardware malfunction of HARD drive. Yes, it is possible. But I don t think that there is a bad connection. You used this HARD over the last two years and you n t change the settings of connections on this HARD drive. Is this good?
  If it possible s so I suggest you of to completely format the HARD drive.
  Then try to start the recovery procedure.

  However if the HARD drive has a functioning default (ie. crushing of the head), so the only way is to replace this device.

• Satellite Pro A10 won't start HARD drive

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 that is not responding. If I have the connected HARD drive I get a ' insert System Disk... "message, I checked the HARD drive with a 2.5" USB connector in another computer and it seems OK.

  The laptop, I cannot change the boot order to select CD-Rom so that I can try the recovery disks. I can't get into the BIOS, but the Boot Priority option is not selectable.

  Any help appreciated.

  Especially this error message appears because the Middle starts not able.
  You insert a boot able CD?

  Try this: connect the computer laptop HARD drive to a USB adapter and try to format the whole HARD drive.
  Then put it in the laptop, insert the bootable CD and try to boot from the drive.
  As mentioned you could press the C button immediately after you start the laptop
