How to make compatible CD/DVD player on Satellite 5000-204

Hi all

I see a thread on the replacement of CD/DVD drive on this laptop, but it was closed, so I write this post.
Most of the recent unit is to select "cable" type and will not be recognized many laptops Toshiba.

To fix that you should look for a disc for which you can find an update of firmware that change, that he either "reverse CSEL" type, Nec or Optiarc
If you buy a player that cannot recognize (like me) read below.

I have replaced the DVD-ROM/CD-RW unit with a Pioneer DVR - KD08 DVD burner.
This device is a "cable select" type (like most of the other recent unit) so we can't recognize this portable (and many other models from Toshiba). The solution is to connect the PIN 45 and 47 together on the disc or on the adapter connector (this second solution is simple).

If you look at the car by behind those pins are the second and third from the left on the top row of the pins of the connector.
The connector adapter, it is simpler connect these pins (carefully) with an iron solder directly on the circuit board.
Obviously on the circuit, the pins are the second and third from the right.
After that, the device will recognize ok.

Hey Buddy

First of all thank you for the participation in the forum it of always nice to have users who shares experience and knowledge.

Thank you for this info how compatible CD/DVD player.
But to be honest I'm a bit skeptical because there is a chance that the player could be damage during this procedure.
If everyone could do but only at own risk!

Usually the compatible players are included in the user manual and it would be useful to take a look in the user manual before you buy a compatible player NOT ;)

Cheers mate

  • Replace the DVD/CD-RW a DVDRW on Satellite 5000-204?

    I just bought a new NEC ND - 6650A mounted in my Toshiba Satellite 5000-204. It fits well, despite the wedge had to be cut in a corner, but everything fits perfectly.

    Before I bought it, I called Toshiba and they said, that it will not work, I would only put need updated BIOS. I've updated the bios (I have version 1.80), but the laptop does not recognize the drive.

    I tried to access the BIOS by pressing ESC at the start, but after that, a message appears saying: 'Press F1 to the default' and not more options are available. How can I access the BIOS settings?

    When it starts, the DVD player turns on the light, so I guess that is not a problem with the drive itself.

    Any suggestions? I'm out of ideas.

    Hi David

    And what happens if you press F1? After that, you should be able to enter the BIOS settings.

    another drive in Windows - any OS but do not use it to try to repairs
    unless it's absolutely the same version of Windows on your system - just
    start to see if the drive works. You can even make a boot Windows 10 DVD

    Hey Buddy,

    Normally on every CD/DVD player there is a small button of relief that you can open the player with a small paper clip even the CD/DVD isn't working or the normal eject button. If you use the emergency eject button the drive opens and you can remove the CD or DVD.

    Also, check the user manual. I found this inside information. ;)
