Replacement of ODD on Satellite L30

Hello
I have a laptop L30 (PSL 30) with a Mat * 770 UJDA DVDR / CDRW. Its an IDE drive. The CD player is not more open. LED on the dirve works and that the infromation system lists it as a defective drive.
I tried the usual opening PIN using a paper pin - which did not work. I guess that now that the drive is now a jammed and will need to be replaced.

My questions:
(1) I was wondering what is the procedure to replace the CD for a L30 player? It is the standard lock the appliance or is it necessary to open it with a screwdriver?

(2) assuming that the current CD player is defective, I would replace the current drive with a DVD RW drive rather compatiable. Is this possible? If Yes, can someone let me know the compatible players? Can I upgrade the bios? or download drivers for replacement?

Thank you very much!

Hello

I have a L30 at home and the CD/DVD drive is fixed with a screw at the bottom of the unit. You will need to remove it to remove the CD/DVD drive.

Notes; not all CD/DVD drive are compatible because of the different master\slave\c-salt settings. If the STRANGE supports the wrong settings of the BIOS will not recognize the drive. And also update the BIOS could not help you!

So it is very important that you use the right CD/DVD player.
I think that the ASP in your country might help you. You can order this player that is compatible to your ASP usually guys order parts laptop direct from Toshiba

Good bye

    Any help appreciated :)

    Can you please explain a little better the State ODD on your laptop?
    Is the drive listed in Device Manager or in Windows Explorer?

    Is an application like Nero preinstalled?

  • How can I change my ODD on Satellite L30 PSL30AE

    Hi, I arranged a few pieces of my portable sister dead, and managed to get his memory and dvd recorder...
    The memory is already installed but I do not know how to disassemble the optical driver in addition to change!

    I was wondering if someone would have a guide or can tell me how to do it!

    Thank you...

    PS: I also want to know if the CORE 2 DUE processor I get out of it would work in this motherboard (now with a celeron..) I have no idea if they use the same processor Bay...

    Thank you

    To change the optical disc player removes the screws blocking the optical disk drive. The screw is near the memory slot cover.
    Then a CURIOUS towards the direction of the arrow unplug the connector on the system board.

    AFAIK that Satellite L30 only does support the Celeron processors and the exchange of the CPU, I found this document:

  • Replacement of ODD on Satellite P10

    Hello

    My UJ820B disc began to play up, which gives power calibration error reports. I recently bought a UJ830B to replace, but although physically identical, including the screw on the bezel, it does not read discs - CDs and DVDs.

    It appears in the correct device manager as a UJ830S and as you can see in 'My computer' as a DVD player. When I put in a disk, the clicks in the car and I think that she strives to find. When I take the disc, it seems that the disc had been run.
    The player flashes with the flashing icon on the pointer of the mouse [Win XP] but is only it works.

    A rare opportunity when I put a DVD in the drive, the software WinDVD launched but that's it!
    The BIOS is V1.6 [I have a version PSP16E of the P10].
    A curiosity is that, during the "BIOS boot sequence diagnostic Phase there is no reference to the DVD player when the UJ830 is installed, but there is when the original UJ820 is installed..."

    There are all sorts of subjects related to DVD and master/slave settings, firmware etc, but if XP is seeing the drive do not have jumped the barrier or things are not as they seem?
    Any of you good people have ideas about what could be the problem? Your opinion would be very appreciated...

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I read your ad very precisely and for me it seems to be a malfunction of the player.
    You said that the power calibration error pops up this error appears only if the lens of the drive cannot be calibrated in the right position.

    Hmm, I put t know where you bought the disc, but I think you should contact your dealer and replace it with another drive.

    Good luck

  • Re: Need Satellite L30 - 105 Vista - power calibration error - new firmware

    Hey guys =)

    Ive got a Satellite L30-105 running a Vista 32 bit. And even if I try several different (Imageburn, Nero) burning software, and with the TDK - CD, I get an error in the burning software, saying "power calibration error".

    Satellite L30 - 105 (item number PSL33E-02S026N5), use a cd/dvd burner called MAST * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s

    I wonder, can I download and install new drivers for my dvd player?

    I will also try to buy this "cleaning-cd", to try to clean the lens. cause I bought the laptop in 2007... then her grandmother as...

    But you guys don't have any what could be bad? Is it expensive to get a new cd/dvd drive for this laptop?

    Bravo and thank you!

    Hello

    Power calibration error means that the laser ODD lens cannot calibrate in the right position.
    Generally this has nothing to do with a firmware of drive but with the problem of equipment.

    In most cases, the CD/DVD drive must be replaced.

    I'm not sure how a new CD/DVD drive could be but the fact is that you cannot use any CD/DVD drive
    You need a compatible and such disc compatible and taken in charge could be ordered in a local ASP.

    Must I update DVD-driver or the replacement of the DVD player?

    Hello

    > I need I update DVD-driver or the replacement of the DVD player?
    Usually the ODD driver is part of the Windows operating system.
    Windows uses the internal Microsoft driver that controls the ODD.

    In any case, the European driver Toshiba page contains a DVD - RAM driver. This driver gives you more support for your DVD RAM drive.
    I m not very good if it will help you, but try to reinstall and check if the drive will be CD - RAM DVD-RAM

  • Installing WXP on Satellite L30 - 10Y

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L30 - 10Y (PSL33E 03L031EN) (about 2 years), it is running Vista (installed come) and I'll replace it with XP pro SP3.
    I already have the drivers (from the Division of driver Toshiba), but I wonder if there are any issues that anyone knows how I could run in this case?

    I installed OS to my house several times, built offices with absolutely no problems whatsoever, but various articles I read there seems to be a bit of a 'ball game' different when it comes to laptops?
    Also I have Vista disks more so if XP will not install I can not simply go back to Vista.

    Tips, advice or warnings very welcome...

    Thanx

  • Satellite L30-149, only works with external monitor and VGA mode

    Satellite L30-149, Windows XP Home Edition

    Yesterday I did face the following problem:

    I swithched on my laptop but I have nothing on the screen. I tried to reboot several times, but it did not help. If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

    I plugged on the external monitor. With that he gives a little more. The Intel logo with the instruction how to reach configuration etc. Then Windows logo but when it should ask the user, the external monitor going to sleep mode and nothing happens after that.

    And an external monitor, I managed to connect to Windows in safe mode and also in VGA mode. In VGA mode, I tried to change the resolution, after that I got black screen again and I had to start.

    Now I wonder if I could do something (update of drivers, etc.) or should I go to the store where I bought the laptop and ask them to fix it. This look like a problem covered by the warranty?

    --
    Upgrade to this message (what happened after that I wrote the above text).

    I turned on the laptop again. I thing the lightning from the room is now better because I noticed that the laptop seems to work (almost) correctly. Windows starts normally, I can faintly see the desktop. This seems to be a problem in the background ligthning. FnF7 does not change the situation.

    This sentence is very interesting.
    Sounds like a question of FL-ups!

    It is a small part behind the screen and control the backlight of the screens.
    Usually, this part is not very expensive and the replacement is not complicated to a technician for laptop.

    If your warranty is valid, then everything should be done for free.
    Try to contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

  • Satellite L30 - I lost the recovery disk

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite L30 and need to completely reinstall Vista but I lost my recovery CD

    Help, please

    Hello!

    Are you sure it's the recovery disk?
    What is the content of the CD if you find Windows to display the contents of the CD/DVD?

    These messages appear normally if the CD is noisy and so it can t be read properly or in the worst cases the CD/DVD drive is faulty and should be replaced. :(

  • Upgrading processor on Satellite L30

    Can I replace my Intel celeron with a complete Intel pentium processor for my laptop Satellite L30-105? As it is so slow I got it since February 2007, more than half of my HDD disappeared too?

    You can use CPU Pentium M, the difference between Celeron M and Pentium M is the size of the cache and Celeron M uses SpeedStep technology, but the FSB and the socket are the same.

  • Satellite L30 - 11 d - after charging battery, it is said that 8% remaining

    Hello

    I have Satellite L30 - 11 d and the battery will be cooler. Laptop works when the power adapter is connected. When the AC adapter is plugged in the battery icon seems to be charged and the led will turn orange and green then as if the laptop has finished loading.
    However once the AC adapter is removed he says only 8% remaining and will stop in 5 minutes.

    I just bought a new AC adapter, and I updated my BIOS. Very confused on how to solve this problem, any advice will be very useful.

    Thank you

    Hi TL30,.

    In my view, this problem is only related to the battery and it should be replaced. A block can only be recharged about 500 times and after that, replace it because it can t be charged to 100% more.
    It has nothing to do with the adapter BIOS or sector

    Contact a service provider allowed in your country, or you are looking for online shops where you can buy a compatible battery. On your current battery, you will find a part number where you can ask Google to do this.

  • Satellite L30 does not start after the upgrade to 2 GB of memory

    I bought 2 GB Crucial memory for my L30. After removing the 512 MB module and adding two modules of 1 GB the L30 wouldn't start. With only 1 GB start ok ok, with the other boot only 1 GB.

    Either 1 GB modules and module of 512 MB with start ok. The two modules of 1 GB boot not together. Crucial gave up and offered a full refund, but I'd rather have a solution if possible.

    At the BIOS level is 2V30, that I understand to be the latest version available.

    Ideas please, John

    Hello

    You're right, this problem seems very strange and I wonder why this happens.
    Satellite L30 certainly supports the 2 GB of memory and you should be able to upgrade with 2 x 1024Mo modules!

    It's strange, but it seems that these two modules are not compatible together
    I found Toshiba recommend module on options and accessories site.
    DDR2 400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G) maybe you could try this one...

    In any case, I don't think that you will be able to solve this problem in another way. The modules must be replaced.

  • Satellite L30 - upgrade to a DVD - RW

    I have Toshiba Satellite L30-14. Recently, I installed 1 GB of memory as some guys here suggest. Model works much better now. Now, I want to replace my CD - RW Drive with a DVD - RW? Which manufacturer do you offer me (lite - on, Nec) or maybe better to buy an external DVD - RW?

    Thanks for the comments.

    Hello

    I'm not sure about the manufacturer, I used several disks of different companies and never had any problems.
    But I suggest buying an external drive, because you have no problem with the Assembly and you can use it with other computers, too.
    That's just my opinion.
