Portege R830: Replacement of the SATA SSD connector with standard connector.

Can I get a standard sata connector termination to the Ribbon that current connects the MB for the toshiba SSD sata?

When I bought the machine a few months ago, I didn't know that you used an innovative connector between the motherboard and the SSD.

I want to replace the current drive with a 500 GB HARD drive. I can get hold of a Ribbon to replace the existing one with a standard SATA endpoints.

Thank you

Jane

  • Portege R500 - replacement of the keyboard - success

    After buying a new keyboard for the R500 on EBay about a year ago, I finally blew the courage to replace a badly scratched by a new keyboard. The reason I've waited? I was worried about how to get out the old keyboard (it is locked down to the chassis, and it was obvious that I have would hurt one during the withdrawal.

    There is a nice write-up general on how to disassemble a R500 here:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Portege-R500/disassemble-laptop-remove-hard-drive.htm

    The description above is not to discuss the keyboard however, so here's some additional information and tips:

    * Read this whole procedure before you start - it's simple, but not for the faint of heart.

    * Shut down, unplug the power, remove the battery.

    * Make sure that you have the correct keyboard for your model. The US keyboard is p/n G83C000903US for example. One I removed was a Rev 1 and a new one, I had a Rev 2 (don't know the difference - they look identical). They can get as low as $40-mais check the part number before you buy.

    * The keyboard connector is located under the computer, and so you will have to take off from the bottom, carefully following the instructions in the link above.

    A couple of notes: (a) the cable Ribbon PCMCIA connector must be opened to disconnect the cable, as this is the only thing that prevents you from removing the bottom of the computer. You can easily do so through access memory on the back door, but BE careful not to damage the cable lock. It works by switch to the top the little plastic lever that is held in place by small pieces of plastic on the sides of the connector that flex * a little *. Be gentle with this connector. When you put it back later-connector, if you placed the cable all the way into the connector, you can lock with only slight pressure down on the connector, and it will snap into place.

    (b) there are other types of cable Ribbon connectors use too. For example, to unlock the keyboard connector, now visible also on the bottom of the deck, slide both ends of the connector in the direction where the cable plugs in. They are snug and will only move about 1/4 ", be gentle but firm.

    (c) the two tiny connectors blocks free access to the water of the keyboard do not have locks on them. We're a band with only a few drivers, and one is a red and white power connector. Just pull out them. All the other connectors, you will probably miss through requires unlocking, so be careful!

    _Now back to the keyboard: _

    Once you have managed to disconnect his cable on the bottom, turn the laptop and start to remove the keyboard on the edges. It is supported by many small pieces of sticky tape, 2 faces, and that's it. As the base of the keyboard is made of aluminum, it is likely that you will distort the keyboard a bit as release you it, even though it may be downplayed maybe using a tool like a rule or something plastic and pry with it. Take care of not to damage the connector of the Ribbon and try to ignore these scary cracking sounds that identify each section!

    Once you have turned it off, you must remove any excess tape before starting point and again put a bunch of small pieces of new, good quality 2-sided tape (such as 3 m). No need to use anything stronger or thicker - just put a bunch of parts everywhere on the base, especially near the edges and the space key.

    Now, finally, turn the keyboard in position, making sure that you screw the connector back Ribbon through to the correct place. Turn the laptop over and re - insert and lock the Ribbon connector (make sure that it is directly and fully forward lock connector). All other connectors back in too. Then come back and push down hard on all sections.

    Re-assembling, taking care to put the 4 mm and 6 mm screws in the right places and a tiny on the side.

    Cross your fingers and turn it on!

    Good luck!

    Thank mate for this review.
    Generally the replacement of keyboard is not really complicated and someone with small technician skills should be able to replace it

  • The OCZ SSD compatible with my Qosmio x 500

    Hello

    A few weeks ago conlins gave me lots of explanations about the SATA series.

    Today, I found the perfect SSD for my computer:
    * OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 120 GB SSD SATA III (VTX3MI-25SAT3 - 120G) *.

    Do you know if these devices are perfectly compatible?

    What is more, I have a genuine license of Win7 Pro I want to load on this new SSD to replace the version of Win7 installed family previously. The only thing that says I did it is still I'm not sure I'll be able to install the programs of Toshiba (fingerprints, BIOS update, card reader, display driver, Eco Utility, drive BD... and so on). Do you know if there is a risk of losing all that software if I change the original system?

    I thank in advance for your help... and excuse my bad English.

    > Do you know if there is a risk of losing all that software if I change the original system?

    Take a look on the European driver Toshiba page.
    There you can find all the drivers available and Toshiba software.
    But the 3rd party software that was preinstalled on the Toshiba cannot be downloaded such software is available in the image of the Toshiba only.

    That's why I advise to use the disc Toshiba recover in order to reinstall Win7.

    > Do you know if these devices are perfectly compatible?
    Well, the handles of the laptop HDD SATA disk SSD supports SATA so I see a serious problems using this SSD.

  • Satellite R850-18W: replacement of the device map LAN with Intel centrino 6235

    Dear members of the Toshiba forum.
    First of all excuse me for my bad English because my native language is Dutch.

    I recently bought my third Toshiba laptop Satellite A R850-18W.

    I already bought an original adapter replacement for the card Atheros AR9002WB wlan.
    Change the adapter in the notebook is easy, I've done it before.

    The only problem is, I couldn't get the bluetooth works so I put the original Atheros card in my Satellite R850. Everything is working, wifi and bluetooth.

    But I want to buy a router with the possibility of 5 GHz band and take advantage of the speed less sang band of 5 GHz. That's why I bought the Intel centrino card 6235.

    I need help in how to get everything working as it should.

    Should what software I uninstall to avoid problems.
    Do I need to uninstall the drivers for the Atheros card first?

    I think and I hope that it should be possible to make such a minor change in the configuration of this laptop?

    I guess that it is not an easy way, while Toshiba has also laptops were they use the Intel centrino advanced-N card 6235. I was hoping some sort on a driver easy software installation and connection of Toshiba software.

    Hope someone can help me with this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    There is a similar threads on the Intel Centrino Advanced 6230 n and the other user was unable to activate this card

  • Replacement of the graphics/images/text with something else?

    Is there an easy way to replace a graphic, video, or text that is already in the timeline panel so that all effects and framing key can be applied by a new element in the same way that it was previously applied?

    This is AE base that everyone should know. If you type footage to replace in the field of research help at the top of the AE will get a step by step. Simply because it's the fourth of July, I will give you here. Select the layer in the timeline panel, you want to replace. In the project Panel, select the new replacement images. Hold down the alt/option key and drag images of replacement in the project Panel to the timeline.

    Because the text layers do not appear in the project Panel, you cannot replace the images with text. You can however put a text layer in the new model and then alt/option drag this new model in the timeline.

  • Portege R830 - change of the volume by using the flash

    Hello

    My question is simple and straightforward. I was wondering if it is possible, somehow, to see the progress of the volume on the screen when you change the keys (fn + 3 or fn + 4) flash. It would be quite handy.

    I n t have this Portege, but if it is not visible, you cannot change it. Either it is visible or not. It is unclear to me that the utility flash cards has a few additional options that you can activate this Visual illustration.

    This increase in volume is visible if you use involved in the bar of tasks or by using the Windows Mobility Center.

    the question is not really whether or not move you messages. It is good that you are not however Exchange might stay the same. Same name same mailstore same alias and so for. Here's the reason.

    If you move them messages from subscribers are still tied to a store e-mail and AD. If on field DiRT search does not, it creates a new AD and the Exchange mailbox account. Then, you will need to call TAC. Duplicate mailboxes.
