Replacement for a Portege A100 DVD player
Hello
My Portege DVD drive makes horrible rattling noises and seems to be endangered. I read in a thread here that universal readers could not work as of the Portege BIOS has assigned the DVD drive as slave and the new drive should be a slave to work. Is this correct? I really don't want to do the fix welding!
I have another laptop that has a TSST drive and I plugged it and the portgege showed an ide error. It of just a matter of having good firmware or is the problem with the above mentioned ide settings.
I selected a Toshiba PA3162E dvd player - 2 CD 2, but he said with the Portege 4000, 4010 compatitble, M100 and Tecra 9000 it's does not list the compatible A100. Does anyone know if this drive works on my machine?
Thanks in advance.
Hello
If you check s manuals for Portege A100 is there a list of compatible ratings? Problem is that all Toshiba laptops do not have the same hardware platform and any waiting won't work on each laptop model. As far as I know the pin assignment is different. Because of this, you need compatible ODD for your laptop model.
As I said at the beginning usually all compatible sides are included in manuals s user document. Please check. If this isn't the case, please let us know.

HP 15-AC143WM: replace the DVD with SSD drive
Hello
I would like to remove my laptop DVD drive and replace it with an SSD. Is it possible to connect a laptop SATA drive this in any case and if so, how?my laptop HP 15-AC143WM
Any help appreciated,
Thank you
REDA
After looking through the maintenance and Service of Guide for your PC, I have to say Yes... but...
Here is the link so you can read it for yourself: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04653884
As I see it, there are three issues: space, connector, fixed support.
It seems that a hard drive from a laptop computer could insert in the space left by the optical drive, it is so probably not a problem.
It there is no second set of connectors of SATA HDD, but since the DVD player doesn't use the same connectors as a hard drive, you can use those-, given that those who are not designed to be used for a hard drive, they will fit, but they may not work.
The biggest problem is the lack of a fixed support for the hard disk. The optical drive is designed to exactly fit the space and is held firmly in place with a screw in the case of the laptop. There is no support for the holding of a hard drive in this space and most likely, no way to attach it to the case. You don't want a hard drive slide in the optical drive bay, then for me, it would be a show-stopper. If you were willing to consider a SSD instead, this wouldn't be a problem.
And finally, and above all, it is my view of your personal situation. I does NOT represent or speak for-HP, so if you want to do this as an experiment, you're on your own - any damage resulting will void any warranty you have and you'll be on the hook to fix at your own expense.
Good luck

To receive a replacement for notebook Probook 4530 s guarantee with the following defects?
Hello
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
With about a month to guarantee rest yet, I was wondering if I could get a replacement for laptop to my HP ProBook 4530 s.
When I got it, it's in very good condition, after almost a year of use, the optical dvd player case is sometimes a bit loose and one of the keys on the keyboard relaxes and I would have to fix it and hang it in the keyboard frequently. In addition, sometimes one or two of the USB Hubs would not read my flash drive but other ports would be strange. While this is happening in only a few flash drives and all 4 USB Hubs are still functional. Finally, sometimes my laptop keyboard may lock up randomly but my mouse pad would continue to operate, which means that I have to restart the laptop to make it work again. Even after installing the updates and even Flash my BIOS, I always have this problem from time to time during the execution of certain applications, including the computer games from Valve, but never expericened before running programs. This problem would happen frequently as well. I was wondering if all these problems would be enough to get a replacement. Thank you.
Kind regards
Calvin N.

hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk
Search for information on this subject on their Web site
If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move
read the information below

or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software
link below is an example of this:

also to put your machine how you bought:
1. that vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition
You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive
ask the manufacturer of the machine how
2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

A replacement for my studio 1535 laptop
I have a Studio 1535 I bought new years ago. The laptop never gave me any problems and still works great. It is loaded, the fingerprint reader, webcam, exit HDMI, remote control, split power drive CD/DVD, ATI radeon hd 3450 video, bluetooth, backlit keyboard, etc. Certainly, as I said, the unit has been shipped in December 2008.
My Question is what model Dell laptop would be a replacement for that (with all the up-to-date bells and whistles that mine has on it)? The Studio was next to the XPS specification at the time. I love my Dell, but it starts to show its age. Thank you!
Hi davejherbstritt,
None of the top end XPS models would have these requirements.

Replacement for trust Mac Pro early 2008
Hello
Looking for a replacement for my very reliable and expandable Mac Pro early 2008. I got it in 2009 after the death of my PC and on the eve of Apple, highlighted the 2009 model.
Looking for a replacement and do not know whether to go for high spec 27 "iMac or Mac Pro. Welder instead of videographer professional seriousness. All I get will be faster than the current Mac Pro despite many improvements over the years.
Thank you
Matt
As an amateur, I think you should seriously consider any movement until the 2009 model or later. Same factor form except the processor and RAM are on a shelf at the bottom of the Cabinet.
They are faster because of some of the architecture changes, accept more RAM and still have the PCIe slots that allow you to add upgrades.
