  • Should I replace my hard drive of my MacBook Pro?

    I'm trying to decide if I need to replace the hard drive of my MacBook Pro (mid 2009) with a new... or

    Buy a refurbished MacBook Pro?

    I'm afraid that if something is not Apple does not work on it because I have installed by a third party.  If I bought a refurbished Apple, they cover with the warranty...

    I can't afford a brand new...

    I have someone else would install so I do not need instructions...

    Any opinions?

    Thank you

    Replacing the drive does not cancel any warranty... you got the instructions with your system to replace the RAM and HD.  The only thing the Genius Bar should do is charge you for repairing the damage you cause change RAM and HD.  But... I changed the two enough times to know that it takes every inch to do this.

    iFixit.com has instructions for changing the RAM and HD.  Or an Apple authorized qualified service center.

    OWC (macsales.com) door RAM and SSD (more expensive, faster) and HDs (less expensive, slower) that can stabilize your system.  HD + RAM would be about $200, add in $100 extra for disk backup and external fixation for the reader.  You can do it.

  • How to remove the disc from the optical drive

    Had to change hard drive on MacBook Pro - had tried to use Drive Genius to fix an old - not good - now have a new HD in there with no OS - now have a disc in the drive I can not eject so I can load OSX of a disc and eith no OS can not download oe ElCapitan Yosemite. How can I get this drive?

    It doesn't have an operating system to work, just the firmware. If he tries always to start (for example, the startup chime), turn the power off, press and hold the trackpad in the down position, then press the power switch. That force - eject anything in the optical drive.

  • Vista 64 Bit Home Premium does not start when a disc is in the optical drive

    I tried to understand this for a long time, but I thought I might as well ask for help.  I use Vista 64 - bit Home Edition Premium and the problem I have is that I cannot restart my machine if a disc is in the optical drive. Specifically, if I have a DVD or Bluray disc in the optical drive (IE a BD - ROM drive). When I restart my computer and a disk is present, the startup process is going past the initial windows screen, but that's how far it goes. My desktop (I don't have a password to connect). Initially, I thought it was a matter of priority to boot but the boot process starts from the hard drive but stops at half way through. Then, I went into the BIOS and removed the optical drive completely from the boot priority list.  But there is no change in behavior. The process stops with the only thing visible on the splash screen is a black screen and the hard drive light flashes and goes out from time to time.  I use this computer as my Home Theater PC and sometimes I have to restart my machine when a movie DVD or a Bluray movie is in the optical drive. I would appreciate any response that can help me solve this problem...

    Thanks in advance...

    There may be something wrong with the files on your hard disk.  We will try to update to see if it helps:

    Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps (I believe you need a disc for Installation of Vista to do that, even if some Installtion OEM disc might work, but probably not all the recovery discs).

    1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. press a key when you are prompted.

    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    4. click on repair your computer.

    5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

    6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

    ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    ·        c:

    ·        Boot CD

    ·        BCD attrib s h - r

    ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    If this does not work, or if you do not have the disk, try EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 and see if that works and does everything well.  Make sure what you are doing or you could mess up your boot files and you'd be in a lot of trouble.

    I don't know if the problem is even caused by startup files (but it is possible if it is not the BIOS), but you'd better check and if the procedures are followed to the letter as stated there is no harm in trying.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • Have not used the optical drive in age... tried to install the game today but the disc would not go? (51 X, 2012)

    Usually, when I put a disk in it gets pulled. I tried to put a drive in today and he got all the way to the edgeand did not in...

    I pressed eject I heard strange noises in plastic or something. I am sure there is no other DVD or CD because I only have a few games on disk, and they are all in their case.

    Is something wrong with the optical drive?

    Help please :D

    I opened my PC the other week to clean my graphics card and ram sticks etc. I got the hard drive or optical drive.

    The game disc works on other PCs, so it is not the disk.

    I also tried alienautopsy and he asked a disk to put, but I can't place a disk in because of the problem. :(

    Thank you!

    EvoGG

    I tried to put a drive in today and he got all the way to the edgeand did not in...

    ... I pressed eject I heard strange noises in plastic or something.

    It seems that it is powered. Sounds like the drive mechanism is defective (mechanically... internally).

    You can try in another computer, or temp. install the right drive on this computer... see where the problem follows.

    From the BIOS, there was also diagnosed with AIDS (PSA/ePSA).

    If you want use it. If you need help, hire a PC tech.

  • stuck in the disk drive

    * - Original title - DVD windows media player

    Media Player is blocked with a CD player. How can I release it?

    Hello

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2 are you referring to the situation where the disc is stuck in the cd/dvd drive and you are unable to remove the disc from the drive?

    Method 1.

    1-re-start the computer and go into Windows Explorer.

    2 right-click on the CD/DVD drive icon and select eject.

    If these steps don't get you, then follow method 2.

    Method 2.

    If the answer to this question is Yes, then follow these steps to manually remove the stuck disc.

    1. Locate the optical drive that contains the stuck disc. You will see a small hole on or immediately below the disc tray.

    2 straighten the paper clip.

    3 - Insert the right end of the paperclip into the hole and push. You should snap inside the locking mechanism.

    4. pull the paper clip out gently. The disc tray will come with it.

    5 - remove the CD or DVD and close the drawer.

    I hope this helps.

  • put the HARD drive in the optical drive stock

    Hi all

    I'm sorry if this is redundant, but I couldn't find the answer to any where or through telephone Support from Lenovo.

    I received the W530 with stock 500 GB HARD drive, but I want to replace it with the Pro of 840 Samsung SSD and put the HARD drive in the optical drive. I just restore the image from HARD disc for my SSD orginal (now in the original HARD drive box).

    At first I thought that I just leave the HARD drive in the original Bay and use the optical drive for the SSD, but since I use the SSD for the OS, and I want to use the DVD player sometimes, I thought I should put the SSD in original HDD bay and the HARD disk in the optical drive.

    I'm sure I've read that a lot of people did it with success, but I do not know much about computers and have never done nothing wise hardwear. I tried to put the HARD drive in the caddy Newmode U.S. optical drive, but it wouldn't fit (the screw on the caddy heads are too big). I think it's because the HARD drive still has the metal casing on it. I am worried, however, that if I remove the caddy, it voids my warranty, and above all, I am wanting to make sure it is the correct and safe way to the stock HARD drive in the optical drive.

    I put the rails HARD original on the SSD drive rubber because it is in which Bay but you have no other rails to the HARD drive in the case of the optical drive, and I don't even think he would fit in.

    So, it's OK to remove the carriage on the stock of HARD drive and put it in the optical drive without any kind of rails or protection (but attach it to the optical drive with the supplied screws caddy)? I think that's what I have to do anyway with the SSd, if she had to go into the optical drive.

    I am also an upgrade of RAM, but the keyboard under the bottom access RAM screw is stripped, so I can't remove the original RAM (it is under keyboard) and use the optimal 0 and DIMM slot installation 1. Any ideas?

    Thanks for your time, and once again, sorry if this is very basic.

    Change hard drives and memory do not void the warranty.

    The DSS must be installed exactly as the original HARD drive was, with rails caddy and rubber.

    The HARD drive in DVD case must be inserted with the 4 screws with the caddy, nothing else.

    To remove the stripped screw, you must use the small (jeweller preference) needle clamp with extreme caution, or slowly drop the screw head to create a new location. The second option is more dangerous because it produces small deposits of metal. If you can't do it yourself, ajeweller could do this easily for you.

    Good luck!

  • 4415 proBook s: replacement of the optical drive - need a support and screw

    Hello

    I'm replacing an optical drive, reference 535816-001 for a 4415 s HP's Probook. I've lost the support that attaches to the rear of the optical drive, seen in Maintenance and Service of Guide on page 68 (http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c01918897-3.pdf). The HP parts store said that the replacement of optical discs does not understand the support. I also talked with HP Support, and after putting me on hold and check with their supervisor, said that there is no spare part for the optical drive carrier. Does anyone know of a place to buy a replacement media for optical drive 535816-001 part number that would be compatible with a 4415 s HP's Probook?

    I also need a Phillips PM2, 5 × 7.0 live which blocks the optical drive to the computer. I saw screw for sale online kits, but was not sure if someone knew a place where I could buy one.

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Yes you can. Here's the part you have to do with. Just remove the optical drive, add a hard disk in one of these adapters and replace it for the optical drive:

    https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

    You may also need to swap the façade of the old optical disc to make the installation of good look.

    I wouldn't use this for one SSD. An SSD belonged to the main disk space to enjoy the speed. The drive into the optical drive adapter will not be bootable and it will be not given quite as fast as the main hard drive transfer speeds. So if you have a drive in this card, a big (1 TB) and slow (5400 RPM) drive would be preferable. It will be purely for storage and it is still fast enough to see the video of for example but if you are doing video editing I would try not to edit videos from the optical drive Bay. Move them to the fastest reader first.
