Equium A60 - question about replacement OEM DVD - RW

Hi all

The DVD - RW in my Equium A60-692 went faulty and reads discs input/output of windows is no longer.
My Question is: can I replace the drive with any portable computer OEM DVD - RW drive, or should it be replaced with the drive from DVD - RW original it came with?

Thanks for your time...

See you soon

You can replace it with any player, only with a compatible. I have no time to search the list for you and you can do it alone. Check it please s manuals for your model of laptop. Usually, at the beginning, you find a part on information in optical disc players. Should there have listed all the compatible optical disk drives.

Choose the one that suits.

  • Equium A60: Question about Upgrade DVD - RW

    Hello
    Can anyone recommend a dvd r/w upgrade, internal or external, so that I can copy DVDs. If I go for the internal upgrade, it is easy to install?

    Thank you very much

    Simon

    Hi Simon
    External drives are a little cheaper than the slim laptop drives.
    In addition, you need to know that not every reader of the laptop can be used in your laptop because master\slave\c-salt settings. These settings cannot be changed, as on an external drive by changing the position of the rider.
    But external drives are not very mobile and so many people don t like to use these external drives. But in my opinion it is not very important, because if I want to burn media I do at home.

    However, in the user manual, you should find compatible readers FRO your unit.
    My user manual contains such information.

    Then take a look in this document or ask the service provider in your country assistance. Here, you can order this disc.

  • Equium A60 - question AC adapters

    Hi all

    My Equium A60 keep blowing the power supply.
    He blew 4 far - 2 were cheap garbage but 2 have been marked should be reliable.

    I recently upgraded to 1.25 GB ram and improved the 60 GB to 80 GB HD and it was overheating and cutting.

    Would this put the laptop to blow the adapter?

    Geoff

    Hello

    This model of laptop is quite old and who knows in what conditions the material. Have you ever cleaned?

    Upgrade should not have a negative influence. Overheating means the laptop cannot be cooled properly. In most cases the cooling rack and cooling vents are blocked by dust.
    So I'm afraid it's time for professional cleaning.

    Adapters I can't say much but be careful about this. Don t do some experiments. Protect yourself and protect the area where you use Notepad. the best way to do it is to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer. they should check the laptop to see what's wrong here.

  • Equium A60 question

    Hi guys, I was using my laptop (Equium A60) the other day when I noticed a little fried ball upward near the system clock saying the windows registry, but it disappeared before I had a chance to click on it. After a google search, I discovered that if Windows XP is not registered after a certain period of time, it will expire.

    I was wondering if this will also happen to the version of XP that came with my laptop?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    If you use recovery DVD that came with your laptop it will not happen and it is not necessary to save the operating system.

    Good bye

  • Question about Dell OEM: SLP Windows 7 Installation disk domestic; can it be installed and activated on other computers from Dell?

    I bought a Dell installation disk and I want to use it to install a better version of Windows on my Dell PC. I have windows Vista and I want to use it to update my OS Windows7 Home Premium. However, the license type is SLP:OEM and no detail... not sure what SLP: OEM means... I thought that the OS discs are the same. Someone told me no retail editions are not suitable for a new OS, but I'm confused. The disc says, Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, but didn't holograms who have all MS OS disks and the disk is labeled for use with a Dell system only, if the means it will work very well on my Dell PC? The label does not which brand or model this disc is for, but said only for the Dell PC which is my PC. I'm assuming, the disk won't work on all Dells, maybe someone can offer suggestions, any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

    I have a few other questions about Windows 7, can I ask you about this on your Web site? Do not know how to contact you on your website. I can see other people responding to your articles, but that's all. I thought that maybe their might be a forum to post a question... Thank you for everything.

    If you want to be more precise, you can post in the Dell Community Forums. :

    Thank you

    Hello

    Disc replacement is very easy. As far as I know, the reader is fixed with two screws. You will find at the bottom of the unit.
    However, if you want to replace the disc you must check if supports the right settings (master/slave/c-salt)
    Unfortunately, I put t found a compatible, but you can ask the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner for the supported drive. There, you can order the CD. It can also give you some advice how to change the disc.

  • M30-832: Questions about memory and DVD player

    Hi all, new to laptops up to have a few questions! First of all, I have a Satellite M30-832.
    1. He has on the dvd player on the side of the Compact disk with re-writable below image and sign dvd R/RW under. That means it is a DVD burner as well? It does not sem to recognize blank DVDs and I was under the impression that it should be possible to write about them!

    2. can I upgrade the memory with memory DDR - RAM modules or does take a special type? And how to change them!

    Thank you very much

    Hi Richard,

    From what I can find your M30 832 is equipped with a DVD burner so you should be able to burn DVDs (the specification says you can only burn at X 1 speed for DVDs).

    You should be able to update your RAM to a maximum of 2 GB and I recommend you buy a quality mark to avoid any problems. Your user manual should have details on how to change the RAM modules, but generally it will be to remove a panel of access (usually on the bottom of the unit) and then releasing it two clips (one on each side of the RAM modules) plastic spring-loaded and gently raising the output modules.

    Please make sure that you either wear a wristband anti-statuc dirt or this earth you yourself before accessing RAM modules. They are very sensitive to electrostatic.

    You can find suppliers of RAM suitable if you GOOGLE 'M30 832 RAM.

  • Satellite A60: Question about upgrade from the CD - RW drive

    I have a laptop A60 sitting with a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive. I want to upgrade to a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. I understand that I have the choice between UJDA 750 and the SD-R2512. Someone can offer a preference and I need firmware / drivers for these to work?
    Is it simply a matter of just replacing the unit?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I assume that the best idea is to have the DVD burner. In this case, there is possibility to burn CDs and DVDs all formats. I found the info A60 also comes with super-multi drive (TEAC DV-W24E) and this should be also compatible with your A60.

    For the feature, the firmware is not relevant as the compatibility of the player.

  • Satellite C850/074 - question about limitation Code DVD region

    I live in Western Australia (region DVD Code 4). I just bought a Satellite C850/074. I inserted a DVD (The Bourne Identity). Message:
    ' + This DVD can not run because your DVD region Code is 4 and the region Code for the DVD 2 + ".

    There is a procedure by which changed from 4 to 2, but this area Code is possible 4 times. After the 4th change DVD region Code is the Code inserted for the 4th change.

    I had this problem with a DVD player, I bought over 10 years ago. I changed my old DVD by finding a code of procedure on the net which allowed the region Code will be replaced with region Code 0, who plays all DVDs.

    Since then, I bought two DVRs of pioneer who play all DVDs regardless of region Code.
    I thought that this ancient thought was a thing of the past. Now, I find that Toshiba seems to be disconnected curent DVD playback devices.

    Is there a method by which the region Code can be changed to region 0 Code which plays all region Codes?

    This Toshiba laptop does not offer a method of changing the number: it offers a choice of countries, which continues to limit the DVD that can be played and the number of changes to 4.
    Help please
    Bob Parry

    > Is there any method by which the region Code can be changed to region 0 Code which plays all region Codes?
    No, there is no method that allows you to change this settings always.

    Of course, you can find many more tips in the world wide web how overcome these settings, but I do not recommend trying this. Most people say that a firmware update is necessary, but use of this incompatible firmware will damage the CD/DVD drive so its definitely not recommended.

  • Satelite A30 - Question about replacement of keyboard

    Hello

    I posted a question [here | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=132833] on keyboard replacement for laptop Toshiba Satellite A30. I ordered a Curry www.partmaster.co.uk Web site now (~ A £47 including TAX). I will wait for it in a few weeks.

    The fact post refers to the removal of the keyboard existing as such:

    + If you want to remove the keyboard, you will need to first remove the thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons. Under this coverage, you will find 2 screws which fix the keyboard. These screws must be removed. After the two screws were removed, you could take the keyboard. +

    There is a plastic thin UNDER the F1 - F12 keys, who feels more easily removable as above plastic strip. One above feels very firmly attached to the laptop casing and has holes for the button ON / OFF and some of the lights.

    It is certainly the plastic strip thin above the function keys? or would that acutally one below? (I don't want to raise the Strip above if this is a mistake and I end up breaking!).

    I can post a picture if need be.

    Thank you

    To remove the keyboard, follow these steps:

    1. open the display panel until it is almost horizontal.
    2. press the F1 key on the row from the bottom of your keyboard and insert a thin tool into the narrow hole under the cover of the band.
    3. use the tool to gently lift the cover away from the computer strip
    4. remove the two black screws from the top of the keyboard where they attach to the chassis of the computer
    5 lift the keyboard from the top and then get out. The lower part of the keyboard has 5 teeth that are inserted into the slots in the chassis, so be sure to not break when you take off the keyboard
    6. on the keyboard's underside is a keyboard cable. Gently remove it by pulling the display panel in the back.

    That's all ;)

  • Equium P200D - Question about running out of space on the HARD disk

    I don't am not in the least HI - TEC so please be gentle with me.

    I use an older Equium P200d for 1 year with two 40 GB hard drives each.
    My C drive has only 2 GB of memory left available while my E drive still has 30 GB.

    I have only 3.7 GB of programs loaded (according to the research of control panel) and I know that I have 4 GB of music.

    My query is - where is the other 30 GB missing?

    I made the Scandisc option and deleted all the stuff from there and a defragmentation procedure.

    Y at - it searches I can run to find junk I have more need?

    Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

    Hey Buddy

    If you are using Vista, then you should consider that Vista creates an additional partition on the HARD drive.
    It s hidden and it contains backup files in order to repair the operating system if something goes wrong.

    In addition HARD drive must also contain HARD drive recovery files (image).
    These files are required to recover the laptop HARD drive.

    So the hidden partition and the recovery of HARD drive that could be the main reason why you noticed smaller amount of space available on the HARD disk

  • Questions about the OEM upgrade repository 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.1 db in

    Hi all

    Since we installed the 10g grid control in Windows 2003 server who and the agent have been upgraded to 10.2.0.5 see below:

    D:\Oracle\Ora10g_GC\agent10g\BIN > emctl agent status

    Agent runs but not ready

    The repository db (on the same server) stayed in 10.1.0.4 so we tried to upgrade this db. This is the step we did:

    (1) installed oracle 10.2.0.1 in a new oracle home.
    (2) listener configured in this new database using the port 1522
    (3) Ran pre upgrade util: utlu102i.sql

    My questions are:

    (1) what does this failure?
    (2) how can I fix this?

    Thank you very much for your help in advance,

    EM is not configured for this database

    Which points to the control of stand-alone database (dbconsole). I'm not so familiar with DBUA, it could be THAT DBUA try to configure default dbconsole. But you have not need of a database repository gridcontrol, still more, such a data base should not have a repository dbconsole. So you can ignore the error message.

    He is the agent who speaks with the WHO and the repository database, so you should follow the instructions in the present note metalink inform the agent about the changes:
