DVD - rw replacement

I'm working on a HP a1240n who has problems with two DVD players. I want to replace at least one, but experience says that not all readers will work with the key "ejecting the disc '."

I prefer to replace the drive with one where you don't have to remove part of the face before you operate it.

The specifications indicate that this motherboard has two a port and 4 port SATA IDE.

Can you tell me some model readers that work on this computer?

Thank you

Steve

Steve, welcome to the forum.

It is a forum for helping hand in hand.  Most of us is not employees of HP.  Therefore, we have no access to such information.

It is very difficult to know which drives will work with the original command button.  I went to HP PartSurfer's, which has all the parts for their products, and almost all the replacement parts for the "a1240n" were dropped.  HP uses readers Lite-ON DVD - RW in many of their older computers.  This is a car that can work for you.  It does not give the dimensions of it, however.  You may be able to contact Customer Service by Lite-On to see if they can help you.

    Hello

    Check on the net. Maybe you will be satisfied with this drive.

  • The Qosmio G10 DVD burner replacement

    My DVD burner was unable to get out and must be replaced. It is a UJ - 831S. I bought the same one, but I got an error of CD-ROM at the beginning upward. I tried this new CD-ROM on another laptop (Toshiba Satellite 2800-300) and it worked fine. I think I have a problem with the configuration of my DVD burner (c - select, master...). Do you know if can change the firmware of my DVD writer?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alain

    Greetings Alain,

    Yes, the problem here is the ID of engraver of DVD (CSEL) UJ - 831S. You must have the carpet * a DVD burner connected to the secondary IDE Atapi port as a master flash.
    Probably your G10 is recognizing as an oucederomsurlesecondport IDE IDE slave secondary.
    Unfortunately there is no firmware to change the internal Atapi drive ID.
    You can ask Toshiba for the firmware, but I think that they will not give him to you.
    The best thing is to share the UJ - 831S for the carpet * 831B - UJ part number: P000409790 Qosmio G10 model: PQG10U-00Y00L,.
    Please confirm first if your G10 model.
    When you go to the Exchange, please ask them to first test the DVD player. Better not make mistakes, here.
    All of these discs are Panasonic (mast * one) corporation.

    Good luck

  • S1800-814 DVD-ROM replacement

    Hello
    I would ask you whether it is possible to replace the DVD - ROM drive on my satellite 1800-814. I want to buy a DVD - RW (for example NEc 6500 has), but I'm not sure of the compatibility.

    Thank you

    Hello

    As much as I know there is no public information about it. In my opinion, you should try to pick up some information of service partners. I'm pretty sure that can give you correct information.

    You can also try with the external solution but the problem is that your camera has just USB 1.1 and data transfer will be very fast.

  • In Tecra A8 DVD drive replacement

    My DVD player is down, I already have a replacement drive.

    Does anyone have an idea where the output of the DVD player is located so I can get out? I unscrewed a few screws, but it won't come out.

    Tecra A8 is the same as the Satellite Pro A120

    To swap the DVD drive, you must remove the keyboard.
    It's a little tricky and in my opinion if you n t have much experience with this you should go to a local ASP and ask a technician for help.

    Here, you can search an ASP:

  • DVD-rom replacement

    Hello. just bought hp g6 - 2205sr and you want to replace the dvd - rom with ssd. did I lost the warranty if I do this?

    I understand that you want to know if changing to a second HDD DVD player could void your warranty.

    Withdrawal of the DVD player and to use a disc HARD in its place will not void your warranty.  The warranty for the rest of the components are still in effect, but there are some things you need to know.  If a recovery is necessary, you will need restore the hardware configuration to the original configuration.  This is so that recovery can end as it is written to the system with a single HARD drive installed.  The guarantee for this specific HDD is not covered by HP, but by the manufacturer of the drive (you probably knew that already).  If the appliance must be sent repair, you need more that probably remove the second HDD and the DVD of restoration before sending it.  Keep the reader of DVD handy, just in case you need it for one of these events.

    Let me know if that answers your question.

  • A6000n PC DVD drive replacement

    I have an old HP Pavilion a6000n desktop PC computer that I've updated Vista to Windows 7 I.  The DVD eject button is unresponsive and I am wanting to buy a replacement.  I looked at the specs for the DVD player and found that this is a 'drive 16 X DVD (+/-) R/RW RAM (+/-) R DL LightScribe"but it does not specify whether it uses an IDE cable or SATA connection and looking around site of HP and the internet in general didn't give me any help.  Did anyone know, so that I could buy the correct replacement for my computer drive?  Please help, thanks.

    MFonnesbeck

    Thank you for all your advice.  I looked inside my computer case and found that the unit uses an IDE cable (you were right @wb2001 - my computer was difficult to access, being hidden under a desk, and so I was trying to avoid that, so my @lasvegaswireman questions).  I saw 3 other available ports for SATA connections (as @Paul_Tikkanen said) and a power cable which forks 2 fittings power Molex and ended with a SATA power connection.  I looked around and couldn't find a DVD IDE burner (right once again @wb2001), unless I went used, so I decided to buy a new HP DVD burner that happened to come with a SATA cable.  So I have a SATA cable connection, I have SATA power cable connection and ports available to connect, so I should be good to go.  Thank you all for your comments and for pushing me just open my computer and watch.
