replace the dvd drive pavillion 1157

The DVD in my HP Pavilion p7 player - 1157c is having a problem reading the CD/DVD, once they are placed in the drawer.  That's what I've done so far:

  • I reinstalled the cables although they were not cowards.
  • Uninstalled the DVD driver and restarted the computer and Windows 7 64 b reinstalled the driver.

The drawer will always open and close and makes normal sounds when you first insert a CD, but it stops after a few seconds.

After that these things did not work, I decided to buy a replacement for the CD/DVD drive last night and went to install it this morning but it seems that the power supply works in the way and I can't get the DVD player.   Y at - it something for the old DVD out without removing the power supply?   I'm usually not mechanically challenged but this has me confused.

Thank you very much

Hello

The optical drive can be removed at the front of the PC - see the guide on the following link.

  • Satellite M30 - error message after replacing the DVD drive

    Virgin, excused my English ;)
    I have a satellite m30 and I replaced the DVD-cd-rw drive in series with a SLIM NEC ND-6650 DOUBLE LAYER, DVD time bios gives me error
    0203: failure IDE #2
    Is it possible to remove this message?

    Hello

    As far as I know that this message can not be eliminated and it happens every time if you want to use the drive is not compatible. Always is it that all readers may not work with all models of laptops.

    In this case, fundamental problem is the pin assignment. It is not the same in all players.

  • Replace the DVD drive with lightscribe on Satellite M60

    Is it possible to buy a lightscribe for the M60 dvd drive replace a normal drive. I have a lot of videos that I made more certain that I bought and I transfer them to DVD, it would also be useful to label the disks that hold backups and plans that we use. I prefer the direct info disc rather then print the labels and stick them onto the disc printing. I can do the work myself if I get hold of the drive and the driver.
    There is still a lot more left life warranty Toshiba in the machine and I am reluctant to update. I have two other M60s in my office and they gave very good service.

    Thank you Russell.

    Hello

    If you take the risk that your warranty would be voided and you find a compatible player then do it. Sorry, but if I were you, I would buy an external USB-DVD/RW lightscribe capabilities. It s fast enough and he would support lightscribe that you need.

    It's the only option I'd choose, but I would´t screws my machine during the warranty only for some purposes "DVD-labeling"...

  • Satellite S1410-S102 - replace the DVD drive

    Hello!

    On my Satellite S1410-S102 DVD player is not always correctly read DVD. Is it possible to replace it rather than getting an external?

    Hello!

    To change the DVD player on this model, it is not so easy. You have to remove many parts and remove several screws so I think it's better use you an external drive.

    But if you're familiar with this, you can try it because it is possible to change the disc.

  • CD-ROM error at the start after replacing the DVD drive - Qosmio F20-574

    OK, so I have a Toshiba Qosmio F20/574 and I am trying to replace the factory DVD player (TEAC DV-W28E) with a Liteon DS-8A1P (f/w CX12). With or without a DVD Im reader get a CD-ROM error at startup. The only time where what I don't get, is when I start with the factory DVD player.

    Here are the things I've tried...
    -Cleared CMOS memory
    -Remove the bezel to ensure his grip at bottom
    -l' utility EEPROM set the drive to slave.
    -tested the portable player in another
    -uninstalled the factory dvd player via the Device Manager and tried to boot with the new dvd drive

    Here are the things that I found bizarre...
    -in the BIOS (BIOS 1.30 ACP) under IO device, it shows the hard drive and cd, but it is not listed by name, his watch only the IRQ of the primary and secondary IDE controller (integrated drive HARD IDE primary (1F0H/IRQ14), CD-ROM (170 H/IRQ15) secondary IDE). This does not change, even if I start without a DVD player.
    -There is no update available for this laptop BIOS. It is a Toshiba of the Japan and the Ive tried using Qosmio F20 BIOS 1.40 to another region, but this does not work.
    -I can't find a firmware for the Liteon DS-8A1P (CX17) update

    I can't think of anything to try. I really need help! Any ideas?

    I'm afraid that you are using the optical disc drive not compatible and there is nothing you can do. Check it please s user guides document for your model of laptop and you will find a list of all compatible ratings.

  • To replace the DVD drive with the second HARD disk on the pavilion DM4-2000

    Hello

    I would like to remove my laptop DVD drive and replace it with an SSD. It seems that the DVD player does not use the standard format of pins SATA for hard drives, rather than use a slightly smaller connection. Is it possible to connect a laptop SATA drive this in any case and if so, how?

    Any help appreciated,

    Tim

    You need a car adapter. Your laptop uses 12.7 mm optical readers and you need this card:

    Here is the Service Manual:

    See Page 45 for replacement instructions.

    You place the additional hard drive inside the adapter, then swap the front to make look it good.

  • recovery after replacing the hard drive - pavillion dv6 notebook

    Hello

    I'm about to replace a defective hard drive on my pc, but I'm not sure how to continue the process of windows recovery. I was wondering if I need to contact HP for recovery set despite the fact that I have a recovery disk (D :) on my laptop. I replace the local hard drive (c :)) and I was wondering if the recovery on my pc drive is enough to drive the recovery process?)

    Thanks for your help,

    Hello

    The recovery is actually just a partition on the same physical drive as your operating system, so when the HARD drive is replaced, it will be gone, however there are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition D.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct disk Image ( must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - IE Home Premium, professional etc. ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx

    You may need, additional drivers and software are in entering either the complete model number or product of your series dv6 notebook no here.

  • Replace the DVD RW Drive (Sftware)

    Hi I have a m8013w desktop pc. I have lightscribe. My DVD drive has failed and I ordered a new one that comes with the lightscribe software. My question is that I have to use the software installation disc which will come with the new drive or am I ready for departure without having to reinstall the software. I have now. I'm on the other procedure like uninstall in Device Manager and replacing the drive. I'm not sure how my software would be affected and the purpose of the disk that is shipped if I have lightscribe. Or are there other things on the installation disc. It is not mentioned in the instructions. Thank you.

    Keith

    You don't need to do anything about this either except to replace the DVD drive... do not worry about the installation of new software or uninstalling the driver from Device Manager.
