• What optical drive is compatible with Satellite A30

  Hello

  Builtin of my DVD/CDRW drive A30-104 appear to be endangered (fails to climb most of the discs, just click a lot and trying / fails to turn upwards) so I need to go on the replacement of it. I have two questions:

  (1) the drive is listed as "Toshiba SD-R2412" and I found a lot of matches for this on eBay. However, some ads to mention a number of 3 additional digits (e.g., 202, 209 etc.) after the designation. -What this means and how to find the number of my disk (and is so important I)?

  (2) at - it a DVD burner available in the same form factor, and it would be likely to work with my laptop?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Additional portable players are numbers don't know about me and I don t know what it means.
  However, you should know that not all readers can be used in the notebook. The CD/DVD drive supports different master/slave/c-salt settings that are not editable and sometimes don't match with the laptop.

  This is why you should only use the readers recommended by Toshiba! As far as I know, different compatible readers are included in the user manual. Please take a look here!

  I found a support several readers. For example:
  TEAC DW-224TH
  TEAC DV-W22-85
  Toshiba SD-C2612
  Toshiba SD-R2412

  But as said above, check the user manual. All readers listed there

• E5 - 575 G-527J optical drive

  I wanted to add an optical drive to this laptop, but I'm not finding any information on this part number of the optical drive will work in this laptop.  Does anyone know what optical drive would work with this laptop?

  The reference numbers of the ODD (support, ODD bezel, screw) modules, are:

• Box X 41 optical drive USB

  I wonder if I'm hunting a product that does not yet exist.  I just want to know if there is something the market that would allow me to use the optical drive of my X 41 of basis, via USB, with my X 201 of the.  I had bad experiences with consumer USB optical drives, so if I can't follow one down, I'll find one of these optical drives from Dell with the mini-usb hotswap to the back and use it. (Lenovo/IBM, why the hell didn't do you it with your discs too?)

  Hi KnightZero,

  Because X 41 dock also uses UltraBay slim, so this would work. I suggest you do a serach on eBay or elsewhere for the UltraBay slim USB adapter housing, maybe you can get a better.

  I hope this helps.

• Replaced the optical drive with an SSD, but how do we install Lenovo Windows 8.1 on it?

  Thanks in advance!

  For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.

  You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

• Matshita DVD RAM UJ850s ATA optical drive will not read burned media, running Vista

  * original title - CD/DVD unit read not "burned" cd *.

  Hi, there are about 6 weeks, I had to do a recovery because a virus in my PC, the problem is that now the optical unit reads no CD, it reads 'original' CD, DVD (original and burned) but not burned CD specially those who have programs on them, could be a driver problem, but so far I have not been able to solve the problem , and I m not sure the original driver are in Sony's site, or any other Web site.

  PS the thing Burns CD and they can be read after that that they were "closed".

  I have a VAIO VGN-N330FH, running Vista Home Basic 32 bit (Spanish), the model is a Matshita DVD RAM UJ850s ATA Device.

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
  http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

  ===========================================

  This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
  a shot.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

• Star Wars h.e. 15-an000nl: optical drive Swap with a ssd will void the warranty?

  Hi all

  I am a proud new owner of this machine, and since it comes with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM and I am also a happy owner of an SSD, I was wondering if the optical drive with the ssd Exchange void my warranty?

  I read a little the other q / a and I see that if I try to reach the drive, with all the screws and the cover plastic to raise, I'll probably end by unsecured (actually is not very clear if it's for sure or I'll use a ssd tested non hp...) and since then to remove the optical drive , I just remove a screw, buy an adapter and you're good to go...

  So my question is: what limits should I beyond the warranty for you? It's just the opening action itself, or there is more?

  And since I write here, optical drive sata port is a sata3 as (I hope) the hard disk it is? Would you recommend this operation?

  Thanks in advance for any assistance received...

  The optical drive is an authorized user of replacement so you can put an SSD in an optical caddy and will not void the warranty but I do not recommend: 1. the interface is slower; and 2. You cannot start it. Unfortunately, access to the internal hard drive space is verboten and may void the warranty. We can speculate and say if it's done well, nobody would know and likely HP won't guarantee, but we can get official word on this, so the smartest thing is to assume the worst. If you don't care the guarantee and want just your laptop to be quick, we are happy to help you with the understanding that you risk the warranty.
