• Portege R700 - how to replace the optical disk drive?

  Hello
  I would like to replace the optical disc drive (ODD) with a Solid State Drive (SSD) on my Portege R700.
  So my first question is: what is the way to remove the STRANGE?

  And my second question is: can I replace it with a Caddy drive HARD ICY BOX IB-AC642 or Akasa AK-OS2SSA-BK?
  Interface SATA caddy fits with the WEIRD interface?

  Thank you for your answer

  Hello

  It s really complicated because the STRANGE is placed inside and remove it you must remove all the screws that fix the bottom cover.

  I wouldn't, because you will lose the warranty.
  More I doubt you could get the second HDD to work in ODD Bay.
  I think that this is not supported
  Just the laptop s as Portege M400, M700, M750, Tecra M9, S3 or S4 with a select Bay slim support would treat the 2nd HDD instead of ODD.

• Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

  I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

  The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

  BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

  WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

  Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

  Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
  Be careful about this.

• Re: Satellite A100-692 - how to replace the CD/DVD drive?

  Hello

  the device DVD/combined my A100-692 is damaged and I want to replace it.
  I found no still no guide how to replace the unit.

  Is there something available?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello!

  AFAIK, you must remove the keyboard first, before you can replace the CD/DVD drive. Remove the screws on the lower side, and then you can push the disc if you have replaced the keyboard.
  It seems to be a bit tricky

  Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help. They can replace the CD/DVD drive for you.

• Re: Satellite L500D - cannot get the optical disc drive to work

  Back again with this problem and this thread began again as it appears the original thread has been 'locked' ~ been awhile so it is aceptable.

  I think that the TS-L633C TSST DVD/CD RW on my system is in fact die slowly, now I can not yet use Toshiba DVD PLAYER to watch DVDs. See http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=204206#204206 for the story.

  Using the windows tool "FixIt" on a blank DVD got all green ticks OK but when I went to play DVDs ~ nothing!

  How the reader '' hunt '' when I put any DVD in it and then fails, suggests that the reader was not not little by little and I must be looking for a new. Shame really, because I haven't used at all, hence the long time between my responses on this forum.

  So OK, where from here.

  Nearest service center is a 5 hour drive, and I will send this laptop for my financial and other stuff done busy resourses is more allow me to simply replace this system and start from scratch.

  I'm ready to buy another drive, but cannot locate any online (new) and I am not aware if there are other brands / types which would be appropriate.

  Toshiba Satellite L500D-PSLKOA-00U009 - TSST TS-L633C DVD/CD RW

  Any ideas anyone?

  To be honest, the situation is strange to me, and I think that you spent too long with all this.

  In my opinion, you have to manage fast. The fist issue is: either defective or not ODD?
  The reasons why it doesn't work with a Toshiba DVD player is not relevant at all. You can test it with VLC media player to see how it works.

  So I recommend you to follow:
  You should not change your preinstalled operating system that you use for work or anything else. Try to get another HARD drive. Swap and install the OS by using recovery disc. Test the functionality of the WEIRD with the settings to be sure that the problem persists or not.

  In the end, if you are willing to trade the player s check Manual of use and you will be find the list of all compatible optical disc readers you can use with your model of laptop.

• Running slow even after reimage... time to replace the 5100 disc drive?

  My laptop 5100 is very slow and I hear the drive access very regularly and it affect playback of the media while doing other tasks. Even after recess with the CD that accompanies it improves a lot.

  I'm assuming the drive is dying, but open to suggestions. Out of curiosity he would make a difference if you had everything on one big partition or multiple?

  According to Device Manager the drive is a MK6021GAS. A few questions for those who have the necessary expertise to respond to...

  (1) do I replace with the same Toshiba player?

  (2) can I replace it with a larger drive?

  (3) everyone has replaced these discs successfully?

  (4) any recommendations on where to buy?

  BTW, this laptop was purchased in Australia if it makes a difference.

  Thank you very much
  Richard

  Hello

  (1) you must not buy exactly the same HARD drive, but it is always recommended to use the compatible module.
  (2) theoretically Yes. . I think 60 GB is really enough for this camera, but I think that 80 GB HARD drive is recognized correctly.
  (3) the disc replacement is very easy and you can do it alone. In the lower corner, near the battery, you will find the HARD drive cover. I'm not sure, but it is fixed with a screw. Remove carefully and you will see how the HARD drive is placed there.
  (4) Google a bit. You will find a large number of suppliers. You can also buy it in every store of PC. eBay is also an alternative.

• TOSHIBA Power Saver software is turn off the optical disc drive, and I'm unable to re - turn on the power.

  Original title:

  Aloha!

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio x 775-3dv78 running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.
  Similar to another old post here, I have an intermittent problem where the Toshiba Power Saver software is off the ODD (a Matshita UJ240EF - BD - RE) and I am unable to turn on the power.  To put the ODD back on, it's a matter of restarting (sometimes several times) until the STRANGE somehow turns on.
  Sometimes, when I do a hot or cold boot, a window opens asking me if I want Toshiba Power Saving technology to turn ON the ODD.
  I click 'Yes', but the drive remains switched off.
  I also try to use function - same key controls... The STRANGE remains turned off.
  Here are the "best":
  As described in the former post office, inside the Windows power settings, there is a slot layout titled "TOSHIBA Power Saver Settings v8.9.9.64".
  In this context, normally there is ONLY a framework for 'cooling method.  BUT only when the ODD is disabled, a second parameter appears to "Optical Drive Power".
  Change that on ONE for battery and plugged in fact NONE no difference... The STRANGE remains OFF!
  Toshiba support is of no help.  Their answer to this problem is to run a 'Mr Fixit' which I discovered just unrecognized devices and then removes the upper and lower filters for the reader.  This "difficulty" might work from time to time... when it does, the ODD is somehow transformed into a 'removable' instead of one device ATA device.
  But then in a few days, the STRANGE turns off again.
  Something different maybe notable, I found after that I continued services and the related process, programs is that the version number on the Toshiba modules show "8.9.6" - not the "8.9.9.64" in the window Power Options.
  And before you ask (LOL!) what's happening on a soft reinstallation of the operating system by the media of recovery Toshiba with all Windows 7 updates applied.
  While I'm waiting for a possible response, I'll do the following:
  Uninstall and reinstall all THE software Toshiba provided duty with the STRANGE (energy saving, combustion, players, etc.)
  I will also shoot material part and make sure that the STRANGE is well inserted in the connector (IDE?) and that the connector is firmly attached to the motherboard.
  IF who does things, I'll update this message and inform you all.
  Otherwise, any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
  Mahalo!

• Alienware Area 51 R2 (end of 2014) ejection of the optical disc drive does not

  New Alienware Area 51 R2 (end of 2014) happened the month last in January 2015. Not tried any DVD or Blue-ray until yesterday. The optical drive eject button does not work in windows pro 8.1, but soft eject works in click with the right button on the drive and select "eject". The button works also before starting Windows start. I invited it must be a software problem and could be fixed by updating some drivers. But I googled a lot and can't find solutions for other Alienware models, but not for the Office of area 51 R2.

  Bluetooth also does not work, but fixed with a new driver from Intel.

  Install the driver from the disk...

• Qosmio G30-204 - how to replace the screen?

  Hi people. I have a Qosmio G30-204.

  The screen to the right corner is not sure as the rest of the 3 corners of the screen.
  How can I tighten again?

  Where are the screws on the screen?

  Hello

  Have you tested the laptop to an external monitor? Perhaps it is not a problem with the monitor and your graphics card or card mother is causing this issue.
  Check it!

  Moreover I replaced didn't a computer laptop screen myself again because it s too difficult and delicate in my opinion. You need to remove a large number of screws and you should be very careful that you n t destroy a part or material of the laptop.

  I think the best way is to contact a local laptop technician you. They can try to help you and they have enough experience for the exchange of material on a laptop computer.

  Good bye

  Hello

  My DVD/CD drive does not work much more and I want to replace it, but cannot find a way how to remove it from the drive. Anyone able to help me with that? Which screws I need to remove and where? Thank you!

  Hi caribman,

  As much as I know the ODD of replacement is not so easy. The drive is secured by a screw and to remove this screw, you need to remove the keyboard and the other parties as well.

  In my opinion, this should be done by a technician of laptop because it s a delicate procedure. It is not as easy as on the desktop, so I would contact a professional help

  I have a time Machine airport TB 3 attached to the Ethernet port on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 7.1. It has a 1 TB internal SSD I want to use Carbon Copy Cloner to a 2 TB OWC drive. The last time I did it, I had to start my Time Machine backups.

  
  

  Is it possible to find 1 the UUID the new SSD, and 2-implementation to date, some sort of Time Machine (perhaps with TMUTIL) 3 information - should allow continuity with the existing backups?

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 do not recognize the optical disc drive

  I have a satellite A210 - 1 4 who recognize the strange.
  The drive has power and running disks but does not appear as a drive in MY COMPUTER.

  It is also not recognized in the Bios.
  I updated the Bios and tried to install the firmware but the message that the drive is not found.

  I tried in another computer and it works fine.
  If anyone has had similar problems, and is there a solution?

  Thank you very much

  > I tried in another computer and it works fine.
  You have tested optical drive in another computer?
  In any case, if the STRANGE is not recognized in the BIOS I'm afraid controller ODD m is defective. It comes to the motherboard so there is not some sort of easy solution.
  I don't think you can do much except to swap the motherboard.

• How to replace the CD/DVD-Rom on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hello

  My laptop's dvd - rom drive is old and broken, now that I have here an other dvd - rom drive, but I don't know how to remove the old dvd - rom without removing all parts of my laptop. Is there some service manuals how to replace the dvd - rom drive?

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure on the CD/DVD drive replacement on this laptop, but I assume that the procedure is very similar to other portable players.
  For the most part the ODD is secured with the screw at the bottom of the unit.
  You will need to remove this screw to get out and to swap the drive.

  But be careful and don t there if you have no experience!
  Moreover, not all readers are compatible and supported in reason parameters master/slave/c-salt. If you n t know which drives are compatible you should ask the ASP in your country for advice!

• Satellite Pro 1110 - replacing the CD/DVD drive

  See you soon.

  Hi Rob

  It is quite complicated to explain how to remove the optical disk drive. Before you do this, you must remove the top cover. The optical disk drive is fixed with two screws. When you remove the two of them, you can get out the ODD of its Bay.

  Sorry, but without exact maintenance manuals is not easy to explain this. It is quite complicated to disassemble the procedure for this model of laptop. Do you have already removed your Satellite Pro?
