New optical drive from Dell for 700 m...

I logged a call to Dell to replace my optical drive of 700 m, because it would not eject, and they send me a new drive.  Good news!

My question is this:

Can I simply remove the old drive and insert the new one without any operating system or a updated driver re - install questions?

Thank you.  : bravohelen:

  • Optical drive from excessive vibration form - M60

    My new M60-164, which is otherwise quite impressive, suffers from what I would consider excessive vibrations induced by the optical drive to its speed top two (?). Film DVD and audio CD-speed speeds are very good, but high transfer rates there are enough strong vibrations.

    Is not specific to a particular disc and it does not seem to subside, but it worries me regarding the longevity and accuracy of data transfer.

    Should I really worry... ?

    Hi Dave,.

    Vibration at high speed is normally an indication that the CD or the DVD itself is not symmetrical, or that there is an imbalance in the weight on a part of the disk. This can be caused by a poorly equipped CD, which has been applied outside the Center label.

    However, if you encounter this vibration on many/all CDs and DVDs then it is probably a defect in the drive itself (probably in the disc of locking mechanism in which case the only option is to take the phone to a repairer approved for her to check.

  • my external optical drive from shintaro has stopped working

    I have an optical drive external shintaro who has well functioned at the start and just

    Suddenly abandoned. Now, he's just rattling noises. Is there something

    Can I do?

    Is - this external hard drive (smaller) type that is getting power from the USB port of the iMac?  What is bigger, with its own power supply?

    Have you tried unplugged power (to completely disable)?  You stop the iMac also (power OFF).  Disconnect all the USB devices, with the exception of the standard USB keyboard and mouse (if used).  The iMac power and connect the optical drive se, to a USB direct on the iMac.  If a port does not work, try a different port.  If you have more than one USB cable, try another, to exclude the defective cable.  If the optical drive is USB 3.0, make sure that the cable you are trying is also assessed for USB 3.0 (not an older USB 2.0 cable).

    Please don't touch in it. You can also create a set of disks (only once) and keep it safe. My machine (also a dv7-7xxx) needs 5 DVDs to create. The recovery partition together with recovery dics can be used to adjust the machine to the day. Please read this for more information:

  • Compatible replacement optical drive CD-DVD for Equium L350 - 10L

    Hello

    a cd got introduced in the drive and I can't, then you need to replace the CD player in my laptop.

    Anyone would be able to tell me what brand/model compatible with this model or I can buy any player?

    "" I saw a slim drive of ' Techguys CD-DVD "PC World - would that be ok?
    I'll find someone else to adapt to it that I don't have any idea how out the CD.
    He previously worked with other discs and it was laid flat in the tray - now the drawer does not close.

    Hope someone out there can give me some advice on why it happened suddenly and what new drive to substitute for the purchase.

    Thank you.

    > a cd got introduced in the drive and I can't, then you need to replace the CD player in my laptop.

    You are not able to open the CD/DVD drive.
    There is a little near the eject button.
    You will need to put a small wire or another object in this set to eject the CD or DVD.
    It is a last option if the eject button does not work.

    PS: in the manual of the laptop you should be able to find information on compatible CD/DVD players.

  • Satellite A300-RJ1 - cannot install the new graphics driver from Intel page

    Hello.

    Another problem.
    When I use the "integrated" Vista, I can not install the new graphics driver (intel inside).
    Whenever the error message: the driver is not validated by your system, please contact your producer.

    So if I install a clean windows, so I can install the new graphics driver: S and I want to install because it is much more recently than the preinstalled :(

    Hi mate

    You can install this driver, but you need to use different installation procedure.
    You must install it in the Device Manager.

    Here, you can choose Advanced Setup, then choose don't search. I will choose the driver, then point to the driver files that you have stored on the HARD disk and complete the installation.

    But note; I read here that the use of non-Toshiba drivers is always at your own risk
