Replacement of DVD - RW for Tecra A3

I have a Tecra A3 2 1/2 years, delivered with a carpet * a DVD UJ830s drive. During the warranty period of 2 years, the drive has been replaced in 5 times, now I am out of the warranty period & it's broken again.

Could someone please recommend a replacement drive (preferably double-layer), with the regular firmware support & proven reliability.

Since I am very far from a Toshiba service center, I'll make the slice myself - could someone provide some useful tips for this work.

Thank you very much

Hello

I downloaded the manual for Tecra A3. I found it on the Toshiba support page and all compatible CD/DVD players are mentioned in the user manual.
So you should take a look in this RFSO and must choose your favorite CD/DVD player.

The replacement is not difficult;
To remove the optical drive module follow the steps below:
1. turn the computer.
2. remove the two screws fixing the optical drive module in place.
3. slide the latch of Slim Select Bay to unblock the situation.
4 grasp the optical drive module and slide out.

All that s!

  • Tips for the replacement of DVD burners on Tecra series

    I think I need to replace my DVD burner. I used a carpet * a UJ-811 t came with the laptop, but it is no longer Burns correctly, although he continues to play well. Initially, I thought it was a problem with Nero (calibration error), but it doesn't matter what burning program I use. I spent a weekend through various forums looking for a solution: I ran a lens clean and updated drivers, looked for the firmware updates (nobody seems to be able to find for the carpet *, including on the Firmware Page), tried the brands of different media (although I initially using Sony and TDK in any case). All with no luck. So I think that he has reached the stage that I need to replace the burner itself.

    So, advice on brands and type? I want something that is internal and easy self-installation. I would like to also buy online and get fast shipping (I'm leaving Ireland in about a month) so also website suggestions welcome. Please keep your relatively simple tips; I am a relative novice who learns quickly.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It's a shame! It of always frustrating when the player no longer works!
    But there is not much to do! You said that the calibration error message appears.
    Well, it seems that the drive cannot calibrate the lens correctly and this leads to problems of engraving!
    As you already assumed the replacement drive is required!

    Usually, the user that was preinstalled on your laptop manual should provide some compatible readers and supported!
    Check it! My user manual contains this info!

    But if you don t find anything, I recommend you contact the ASP in your country for the disk drive!
    You should know that not all readers are compatible because of the master/slave/c-salt settings.
    If the drive supports bad settings of the BIOS does not correctly recognize this device!

    So, make a call to the service provider and ask for more details! Good luck

  • Choice of DVD - RW for Tecra M2

    Please, can someone tell me what DVD/RW I can enter my M2? I´d also appreciate whether West such a thing as a multi-region available? Reason being that my current 224th Teac DW - has is short of regional options and is fixed on region 1.

    I had assumed that, because laptops have been portable, you could look at DVD´s all over the world, but that s not the case with the Teac.
    Appreciate the advice on that. Thank you.

    Regarding the compatibility of DVD player, please read this thread as caddy Tecra M2 DVD is the same as the M5: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=30468&tstart=0

    Regarding a multi-region player, I'm not aware of a any piece authentic being able to do so.

    I suggest you Google for possible solutions. Someone else here may be able to recommend something, but I couldn't possibly comment :-)

    If you play only two different areas, why not have one disc for each (locked to one you have already, more than a second)?

  • It is Possible to replace the drive DVD Bluray for HP Pavilion dv6-6176sx

    Hi all

    It is Possible to replace the DVD Bluray for HP Pavilion dv6-6176sx notebook PC Player?

    Thank you

    Of course it isn't yet very difficult. You just need a BR drive or a drive? The replacement drive will be $80-120, or so, maybe a little less. You can find them on eBay. You can use a generic but that may require a redesign of the front or just get a car dv6-6000 BR on eBay. Trade on with a few screws on the bottom. Get out and drag the replacement. You will need new software to play BR movies, of course.

  • Replacement Li-ion PA3356U-3BRS for Tecra M5 battery

    * I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 bought 3 years ago. Now, its battery (mentioned on the subject) has a lifetime of about 15 minutes. So I contacted the representative of Toshiba to buy a new. She mentioned that there is no batteries, only the batteries that have been "fixed" by Toshiba with a warranty of 3 months (and a price to pay taxes of 90 euros + 20%). Does make sense? Should I buy one of these or there is a credible alternative?

    Thank you very much for your reply,

  • Caddy optical Bay for Tecra S10-106

    Hello

    I would use an SSD instead of the conventional HARD disk, but SSDS are very expensive and that is why I would like to replace the optical drive with my conventional HARD drive. The optical drive is not often used and so I'm looking for a Bay optical caddy who easily replaced the DVD drive. I know that old Tecra Systems (e.g. 8100), that such a Bay was available.

    I don't want to use an external drive, because I do not carry many devices with me. Please can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey mate,

    I know that there are these optics by caddy for some Toshiba laptops but I don t know if they are available for Tecra S10 and if it of possible.

    You should ask a service provider authorized in your country. If this an optical bay caddy is available, you order if by technicians and they can give you a detailed response. :)

  • Re: Question about the CD/DVD player for Portege M400

    I have a Portege M100 - and the CD-ROM drive does not work.

    Whenever I put a disc in I can just hear the motor turn the disc, but the computer is not picking up the drive. Device Manager picks up flawless.

    It doesn't seem to be any firmware for this sorting (or am I wrong).

    I've seen a DVD player for a M400 on ebay and I was wondering if that would take on my M100.

    Before buying it, I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be compatible. It seems to be OK size wise, but I was wondering if my Portege M100 XP would be able to use it.

    The description for the drive I want to put in the M100 is below:

  • 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.
