• Open the optical drive K430

  I don't like to sound thick, but I'll put up a new K430 and I can't find a button to open the optical drive. The only method that I can use is to go to computer management, then disk management, then right-click on the drive and select eject. There must be a better way, but so far, I am confused.

• 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!

  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.

• 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.

• Satellite 1900-303: the optical drive replacement

  Hello

  Are there opportunities to replace the optical drive of this model? With or without a screwdriver? I want to replace the drive combo of origin (without work) by the other Toshiba combo drive. Can I replace the optical drive or only the Toshiba official centres can do this operation (simply)?

  Thank you very much

  André - Portugal

  Hi Andre,

  Change your optical drive is pretty easy (with a screwdriver). your player is usually set with one or more screws and once these are removed the reader can be slipped out of position.

  You can then remove the plastic trim of the components of the original drive and install them on your new drive (unless a new one is delivered complete with all the accessories). You will also need to remove the metal from your old drive brackets since they will have to be placed on your new drive.

  Insert the new drive in your laptop computer and fix it with the screws that you removed in the original.

  When you start your laptop should automatically detect the new drive. Note that the boot process may be slower than normal because the system will get the proper drivers etc for your reader doesn't and will update your configuration with the new information files.

  The important thing is to get a new optical drive with the same dimensions as the original.

• Satellite Pro L20 - How can I change the optical drive?

  I want to change the optical drive in a satellite pro L20 but I'm having trouble finding instructions on how to remove it. Can anyone help?

  The CURIOUS reader is fixed with a screw at the bottom of the unit. Then, turn the computer over and remove one screw an optical disk drive.
  The second screw is hidden under the keyboard. That's why this screw must be removed also. And then disconnect you should be able to pull-out of the optical drive.

  But note; If you have no experience of these things, ask a technician for laptop computer to help him.

  Good luck

  Hello

  To remove the optical drive, he can just remove the 2 screws that are placed at the bottom of the unit on the side of the road. Then you can simply drag the drive outward to disconnect the connector on the system board.
  The player is placed in the plastic frame. You must therefore also this framework for a new disk.
  Remove the plastic of the unit frame, only to remove 4 screws.

• El Capitan stop built into the optical drive to work?

  Hi people

  I hear and read that El Capitan stop construction in the optical drive to work? I don't know if it's true, and other bugs. I remember when I upgraded to Yosemite this happened to my mac mini, and the super drive was not recognized. However, it was fixed. Although I used to be able to run when any player with the mavericks, but Yosemite has changed all that.

  In any case I had to go to Yosemite, and I'm not sure whether for now, if it's going to ruin my drive and other things. I have a 2012 end pro MacBook. Everyone has problems, or advice to share, or stick to Yosemite.

  Sorry for this Question, it's just that I'm not sure on replacement after hearing this.

  Concerning

  Cap

  N ° as always do a backup in case the new version does not meet expectations. If you are happy stick with Yosemite.

• HP Pavilion 15-p263nl: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion p263nl 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

  Hi all!

  I intend to add an SSD for my HP Pavilion p263nl-15 Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

  In other words, there is my plan:

  1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

  2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

  3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD using a USB key recovery made with my real Windows 10 system (which has been updated from Windows 8.1 July 2016).

  I already have a 120 GB OCZ SSD (OCZ Vertex 3).

  I have a few questions before buying the adapter:

  1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

  2 should. What size the card be? I found offers for 9.5 mm and 12.7 mm that are supposed to be suitable for HP Pavilion in general

  3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

  4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Alessandro

  p.s. in this section of the forum (where I took most of the post), the solution worked almost perfectly, but it's a different product of the Pavilion 15 ^^

  Hello

  1. Yes,

  2. your machines use 9.5 mm SATA Tray,

  3 problem? I can't answer this question because who knows nothing until the track.

  4. I don't know how you create USB recovery but a good new installation should work.

  Kind regards.

• HP Pavilion 15-e073ca: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion e073ca 15 Notebook PC & Windows 10

  Hello!

  I intend to add an SSD in my two years 15-e073ca HP Pavilion Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

  In other words, there is my plan:

  1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

  2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

  3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD, using a recovery USB stick made with my system Windows 10 real (which has been updated from Windows 8.1).

  I plan to purchase the following parts:

  1 - a HDD / SSD cart adapter for HP Pavilion 15 (model OBHD9-SATA-SATA-BU9), of NewmodeUS (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=583)

  2 - a SSD 128 GB (article SDSSDHP - 128G), SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ultra-plus/?capacity=128gb)

  I have a few questions before I buy parts:

  1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

  2 - the height of the SSD is 7mm, and it seems that my old HDD is 9.5 mm in height (model WDC WD10JPVT-60A1YT0). It would cause no problem (I need to add spacers)?

  3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

  4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Your plan is perfect. The SSD to will of 7 mm that always come back fine it just will be lower in the caddy. The holes and SATA connections are in the same place as a hard drive of 9.5 mm. You can use a spacer (many SSD include one in the box) but not really necessary.

  Installing SSD for Windows 10 the way you expect is not really "own", that he will again introduce files and programs, in my opinion and certainly drivers. Whatever it is, it works perfectly and activates the old installation has been enabled.

  The hard disk in the optical adapter will not be bootable and will transfer the data a bit slower than a drive in the main compartment, but will still be usable for most cases. If you need fast input/output like Photoshop or video editing move the job file to the first SSD. Alternatively, you may wish to consider documents and photos and other migration on the HARD drive to keep the 128 GB SSD to fill. You can right-click on these files and select 'place' and move them. After the back if you need some help with that.

  Enjoy.
