  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

• Satellite A50-108: how to remove the CD/DVD drive?

  I want to update my CD - RW drive for a dvd burner, but can't get the old drive of the laptop.
  I removed the screw on the underside of the laptop, but it won't come out.

  Do we know if there is any other screws received a way to remove the drive of any help greatly.

  Hello

  It's very strange that you can not remove the optical drive as DVD - ROM drive Assembly is secured with just a screw on the underside. If the screw is removed, you just pull all of the DVD-ROM drive.

  There is no other screws.

• 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.

  + The message was edited: link has been removed ad channel may not +.

  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.

• Can satellite A100-097 - I replace the cd - dvd drive

  Hello

  The cd-burner in my Satellite A100-097 drive begins to age, burns can sometimes fail, sometimes cannot even read simple audio cds.

  Can someone tell me if I can replace it with a new and where to find it, finally?

  Thank you
  Andrea

  Hello

  Yes, you can replace the CD/DVD drive with a new one.
  But be aware that not all of the sides are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings

  Manual of use you should find some details about compatible readers and supported
  Check it out
  If you have no user manual then go to the Toshiba European page to download.

  In addition, you can buy a player of an ASP supported in your country
  The guys would be able to order it at Toshiba if necessary.

• Satellite A100 - 692 PSAA9E: what is the max memory

  Can someone tell me how I can put in my book "A100-692 PSAA9E" memory?

  On the Internet there are pages which provide that 4 GB is the maximum amount of memory, whereas the manual says that 2 GB is max amount (the manual seems to be made for a group of individual booklets and also indicates
  my laptop should have a GForce but there a GFX ATI card).

  If 4 GB is the maximum amount, can I go with the memory following constellation? :

  2GB Stick Port 1
  512 MB key Port 2

  Also can I use Ram DDR2 - 667 Mhz instead of 533 Mhz Ram and or a mixture thereof?

  Concerning

  R4DIUM

  This chipset is the Satellite A100-692 supports?
  If it s a Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset PM then it would support the 4 GB of RAM

  Here the details on the Intel page;
  [Intel 945 PM Chipset Express | http://www.intel.com/products/notebook/chipsets/945pm/945pm-overview.htm]

  But the fact is that there are different laptop A100 with different hardware specifications and so there is different information about the possible RAM Upgrade.

  However, I think that you will not be able to use the full 4 GB of RAM due to Win 32 bit limitations. The 32-bit OS can use max 3.2 GB

• Satellite A100-692 - how to reduce graphic memory?

  Hello!
  I'm looking for information how to reduce graphic memory. I have Satellite A100-692, PSAA9E-09900QGR and install 1024Mo RAM but 512 MB is dedicated to graphics memory. Because of this I have 512 MB of RAM in real-time only.
  I would change it. Should be spend of only 256 MB memory graphics. I checked the BIOS (ver. 2.00) and graphic drivers and anywhere is option for memory graphic change.

  Please help how do.

  Hello

  You described your situation, but this seems very strange.
  As far as I know, the laptop uses a 128 MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1400 graphics card and this isn't a memory sheared graphics card!
  This card uses own 128 MB and must share main memory!

  I put t know why you suggested that you have only 512 MB.
  How did you test it?

• 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!

  the optical drive of my Qosmio G 50 does not work properly, it reads only some movie-DVD, but unfortunately not videogameDVDs at all, so I can't install any games.

  Hello

  In various cases the ODD replacement is very delicate.

  If you wish, you can consult this forum category.
  Here you will find some videos how to replace the ODD on the different laptop models:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/Forums/Forum.jspa?forumid=115

  This is also a nice Youtube Channel which provides the instructions how to replace the ODD:
  http://www.YouTube.com/user/toshibaeuropesupport

  But the ODD laser lens may be dirty. In my case I could solve similar problem, cleaning the lens of the laser by using a cotton ball and alcohol tip.
  But make sure that this!

• Satellite Pro 1110 - replacing the CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  I have a 1110 Pro of the Satellite with dodgy CD/DVD drive and would like to change that... Problem is I got laptop in bits a while ago and before trying new hold a bit of advice if possible. I did but a sat and sat pro service repair CD, but he's not my cell phone.

  Any info would be much appreciated.
  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?
