Change the CD-ROM on Satellite A50

Hello

I have a portable Satellite A50 and I want to change the CD-rom drive for CD/DVD-RW drive. I just want to know is the removable CD-rom on my laptop model or not?

And if so it's just a case of take a screw that holds it and dragging.
I tried, but he didn't move very easily so I stopped and I would ask just the thought incase that is not expected to get out.

Thank you.

Hello

The DVD rom drive is removable and fixed with a screw at the bottom of the unit. If you want to remove this disk follow these steps:

-Turn the face of the computer down and remove the screw fixing the whole DVD - ROM drive.
-Remove the DVD-ROM drive Assembly.
-Remove the 2 screws that fix the rear support of the whole of the DVD - ROM drive.
-Remove the screw on the side of the bracket, remove the flange side.

That s all ;) I put t s of difficult for you but be careful... you know ;)

    Hi Rickski, I've changed the discs on the a120 so many times I'm sure I could do it in the dark eyes bandaged, it's really easy and it only takes a few minutes.

  • Impossible to change the bright screen on Satellite Pro C50-A-143

    I run windows 8.1 and I could not change the brightness of the screen for a while now.

    It happened a few months before, but after a random number of days that it worked again, now it is stuck in about 60% bright max, which is not enough when the sun comes through the window.

    According to the Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-143 datasheet this laptop has been preloaded with Win 7 64 bit and Win additional 8.1 own drive was part of the package.
    I assume that you have installed own 8.1 win but have not installed all the drivers Toshiba win 8.1.

    Is this correct?

    Visit the page of the Toshiba UE driver, install all the drivers, tools and utilities (graphic card drivers display tool, driver Toshiba system, etc.)
    Utility function key Toshiba is very important if it is to use the key function (Fn, F1-10)

    Then you should be able to use the function key to decrease and increase the brightness of the display.

    Hello world

    I just bought a new watch that should be able to communicate with a pc via the infrared port (it's the Polar S710).

  • How to change the DD in a Satellite CL10-B-100

    Hello! One night I closed my laptop down normally. The next morning, it wouldn't start, boot disc error.
    So I started on a Win 8 DVD to fix it, but he didn't see C:

    I think that SD is out (I think this is a record of MEM) if I tried to open it to change the DD or test it on another computer.
    I could disassemble the back but I don't see the DD. So I guess it's just behind the keyboard.
    But I don't know how I can get to him.

    I tried a manual but I can't find.

    Can you explain to me how I can change the DD?

    Thank you very much!

  • How to replace the RTC (CMOS) battery satellite A50 432

    Hi all!

    I have a SA50-432: what model of Satellite's my cell phone?

    I need to replace the RTC battery (cmos).
    Should I open my laptop? Or what parts?

    Thank you!
    ALE.

    Hey Buddy

    To replace the CMOS battery, you will need to disassemble the whole laptop.
    You want to risk that?

    I mean the whole notebook must be dismantled in the right direction and you use the right tools and the right order
    It's not easy and I would say that that's impossible without additional manuals and hardware experience

    I recommend contacting a mobile technician, that it would be the best way because this disassembly is really complicated and there is a high risk that damage you other expensive parts like motherboard or display

    PS; Why do you want to repalce the CMOS battery? Have you tried to recharge it again?

  • How to change the module RAM in Satellite Pro A100 (PSAACE)?

    Hey,.

    I just bought a RAM module to fit in my currently empty home of RAM, but I never installed any portable computer memort before that. I checked a few guides, but none seem to show the kind of clips that have the Pro A100.

    Could someone help me please by pointing me in the direction of a specific guide or taking their time to explain the process.

    Thank you in advance.
    Jason

    On the side at the bottom in the middle is placed the memory cover. Remove it and you'll see two memory slots there. I assume that your device comes with the memory module and new you must put in the empty socket and just press it. Two metal brackets will fix it in the right position.

    That's all you need to do. By the way: before you start doing anything, I recommend you disconnect AC power and also to remove battery.

  • Satellite A50 543 - what is the correct BIOS?

    Hello

    My friend has a portable Satellite and the internal CD drive is broken and its Windows had a virus and was showing strange behavior I want to install XP to clean. Does not support BIOS current ver 1.2 boot from USB CD-ROM drives. In the support section, I found a worm 1.4 BIOS that says in the description "adds this Bios Update expands the functionality of your system.", not very useful.

    The bios file is called bios - 20070808112012.zip for model Satellite: A50, model runs no.:PSA50E.

    I know this is probably a redundant question, but just to be sure I can be sure it's the correct BIOS that I am not too familiar with Toshiba naming scheme.

    see you soon
    damole

    Hey damole,.

    If you don't find this BIOS on Toshiba website for your model laptop is the correct version. I mean why Toshiba has release a bad BIOS doesn t work?

    But I searched a bit using Google and I think that it of not possible to boot from USB also with the new version of the BIOS. This is possible on the new laptops and Satellite A50 is old enough, so I think that in this case, you need to replace the CD/DVD drive. Maybe you can get a second hand one from eBay that is cheap.

    But if you install XP from a Microsoft disc, a CD/DVD drive isn't necessary. Copy the folder integer i386 to the HARD disk and start the WINNT.exe file.
