Re: Satellite C50D-A-13N - Optical Disk Drive eject malfunction of button

Hello

A bit of history; I took this laptop on behalf of my manager at work for the birthday of his son (tomorrow) and offered to set up for him. Unfortunately, the eject button on the DVD drive (and right click > eject in my computer) flashes the light and I can hear the spring trigger, but didn't actually eject the disc.

However, it erases the memory disk in my computer (changes in office 2013 to the DVD player). I know because the paper clip trick works; I am able to insert a paper clip into the slot for manual release. As a result, I have proven that it can read the disks, it cannot simply eject.

Here are the things I've tried various bandages around the web:
-Tried to eject when booting
-Uninstalled driver CD/DVD, auto-réinstaller at startup
-Remove any software related to disk
-Searched high and low for a pilot updated DVD without success.

I came to the conclusion that the problem is hardware related instead of something to do with the software, everything is recognized fine, it's just the eject button that fail to work as expected.

Then, because this kid's birthday is tomorrow, what I can do which does not send off for repair the machine?

Thank you in advance!

Hello

If I understand the question; the eject button does not work properly, but you can eject the disc, insert the paper clip into the small hole near the eject button.
Is this correct?

Since there is no special software, which controls the eject button, looks like the related problem of material issue and I think that the only option to solve this problem is the replacement of CD/DVD drive.

  • Satellite C50D - A - 13N - Windows question sleep mode 8.1 alarm

    Hello

    I hope someone who knows more about than me power management can help!

    I bought a C50D-A-13N Satellite a few days ago and it was fine.
    However, I had a problem with the mode 'sleep' a couple of times.

    The laptop goes into mode 'sleep' as expected (when the lid is closed or when I press the power button). However, when I press the power button to turn it back on, it comes to life for a few seconds - the screen is on and I can move the mouse and interact with other things - but backwards past mode after a few seconds. All I can do to make it work is to close completely by holding down the power button and restarting, I REALLY hate to do.

    The laptop is fully charged and plugged or unplugged happy.

    Everyone knows about this problem in Windows 8.1 front?

    Thank you

  • 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.

    Hello Lonestar

    AFAIK all optical disk drives cannot be used with all portable models. There must be a difference with assignment of pins. Because of this, you must use only compatible disks. I have the same info as you. All readers are already "closed."

    I checked the user s manuals document. There are several compatible with your model of laptop sides, but none of them is DVD burner. It can be really hard to find the compatible DVD burner.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - DVD optical drive replacement

    I'm looking for some advice, thanks, regards access to disc DVD/CD on my Pro L20.

    My current car has passed away, but I was hoping (temporarily) replace it with my old car Saturday 1130.
    Before even I can check to see if compatible, I have a problem in removing the existing carpet * a unit... UJ841S there are 2 screws likely below, but I think I'll also remove first the keyboard.

    I'm embarrassed about the lifting of the (?) metal strip that runs along the top of the keyboard... of clues on how to do it?

    And am I correct in having to delete the "Board of Directors?
    Thanks in advance...

    Yes, you will need to remove the keyboard, because under the keyboard, you will find a screw that holds the CD/DVD drive.
    First, then remove the thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons and remove the 2 screws securing the keyboard.

    Then you could lift the keyboard carefully (don't forget the keyboard cable flat that connect the keyboard to the motherboard)
    Then remove the two screws holding the optical disk drive.

    Then turn the computer, remove the two screws (at the bottom of the unit) fixing the ODD.
    Then pull on the STRANGE carefully.

    This description should help you to remove the disc.

    But if you don t have enough experience; Don t this and ask the technician for help!

  • Disk drive not found in the Satellite P845T-102 (Code 19)

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite P845T-102 and the disk drive is not recognized by Windows (Windows 8). Does not appear in my computer, has no light and will not eject.

    The drive is a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-U633J.

    This is the first time I tried to use it so I don't know if it was never acknowledged, or if a windows update caused a problem.

    Troubleshooting it says my driver is up to date, and Manager of devices displays the following message is displayed:

    "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) »

    I have tried to uninstall the device in Device Manager and rebooting without success and have also tried to download the driver on the Toshiba site.

    I would appreciate any advice to help solve this problem.

    Hello

    > When starting my Satellite L300D-13 on power electric battery of the disk drive ejects when starting upwards and then he won t keep any kind of disc
    It's really strange, sometimes it is hard to believe that this would be possible

    I m not quote that if the reader of CD/DVD may be affected and cause this problem but nothing is impossible and that's why I think you should talk to the ASP in your country and have to explain the whole story I think guys won't believe something may be possible, but in my opinion the CD/DVD drive must be verified.

    When you remove the memory cover on the underside of your laptop, you will see that there is only one available HARD drive location. There is no place for the second HARD drive.

    If you need more capacity, you can exchange original HDD by another. Of course, you can use external HDD or USB sticks.

    Some people try to remove the optical disk drive and put the second HARD drive here using special HDD bay but the problem is that many of them have stated that this second HDD was not recognized correctly.
