Satellite A80-131: what CD/DVD player is compatible

Hello

I need to buy a new DVD - ROM drive because my old is bad!
I have a toshiba Satellite A80-131 with mati dvd - rom * a UJ - 831S.
I would buy another drive: toshiba, samsung, pioneer the suport of mati because * a (panasonic) is not very good. But what model is compatible with the old drive UJ - 831S?
Support does not provide this information to me.

I have a toshiba HD MK4025-GAS and I want to do an upgrade, but the
model PA3406U - 1 HA 0 (100 GB 5400 MHz) is very expensive.
Model MK is cheap.
But that model MK I buy with 100 or 120 GB?

HI Ronai,

Any optical drive slim form factor fits physically to your laptop, but you'll hjave to make sure that you get with the correct connectivity. It will be either master or slave (and sometimes C/salt). This setting is normally carried out by the manufactrer reader and it is not easy to change later unlike the larger disks used in PC where you can return some small switches to change the setting.

To be sure, you can ask your local authorized Toshiba Service partner which models are fully compatible.

In regards to your hard drive, you can choose any hard drive manufacturer (the MK designation indicates a Toshiba drive) but I don't know if 100 GB is greater that the BIOS will allow you. I know that 80 GB working fine (I use a Fujitsu 80 GB HDD in my SA30) but I've never tried a higher capacity drive.

You may also like to consider a faster rotation speed. GAS from Toshiba records with the suffix are usually 4200 RPM, while those with a GAX suffix are quicker to 5400 RPM. MK8025-GAX is a good option.

Kind regards

    Hello

    Thank you very much that you see us as an expert :)
    We are all here are users of Toshiba laptops and as you probably don t know this is a user forum. :) so maybe not really ;) experts

    To be honest it s I do not know that this reader of CD/DVD problem.
    Like you probably n t know every CD/DVD drive doesn t takes care of all the s possible CD or DVD from different manufacturers.
    Some CD and DVD is more compatible and some of CD or DVD s are not entirely compatible.

    However, the point is that you need a new CD/DVD drive.
    I checked the manual A200 (can be downloaded from the Toshiba page) and there is a list with some compatible players.
    Check the page for the user 6 and 7

    You can also call the ASP in your country. The guy knows what CD/DVD players are compatible with your laptop!

  • Satellite A80-131: Drive UJ - 831S - MASTER or CSEL?

    Hello

    I changed mu dvd-driver UJ - 831 (mathusita) S for TS-L532A.
    So, I didn t know dvd-drivers can be CSEL (slave) and no CSEL (master). Then, can not boot from the dvd

    do type C, no work!
    type F12, then select CD/DVD without work!

    How to boot from dvd-driver using TS-L532a as CSEL (toshiba and other doesn´t have supported this drive. Isn´t there is a firmware this driver! )

    PS. I use the latest bios in my toshiba a80-131

    I think to buy another optical driver: UJ-850 (mathisita). But I have to buy CESEL or no CESEL?

    Hi Ronai,

    It is a classic problem with optical drives for laptop. It is caused by the fact that the optical drives can be designated as 'Master', 'Slaves' or Csel (Cable Select), but unlike their PC equivalents more large portable optical drives have this setting in the firmware of the player and it is generally not possible to change it by using jumpers or switches.

    If you search these forums you will find messages describing how to connect some of the pins on the optical drive to change the setting, but it assumes you know what setting you need.

    The other possibility is to Google for the firmware updates or "hacks" that can allow you to do the same thing, well if you do not have your laptop to recognize the drive this can be quite difficult.

    Unfortunately most of the suppliers do not advertise the real setting of the optical drive, you may need to check with the builders as to what it is currently set to.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A80-115: reader of DVD Multi not closing

    Hi all

    My Satellite A80-115 multi DVD player has problems of closure; I sometimes try up to 10 times before locking the drive in place.
    Everyone knows about similar problems?

    Thank you

    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    As you will understand, the CD tray use a mechanical lock to hold it firm when you use. The latch is locked to prevent opening while the disc actually rotates the drawer.

    If you have problems closing the drawer, then it will probably indicate wear or damage the physical locking mechanism. Access to the lock will be the degree of disassembly and it will be very difficult to opbtain the components of the lock, so I think that the best option would be to replace the disk.

    If your device is still covered by a warranty it should be done by authorized service center.

    If your warranty has expired, then you can consider replacing the drive yourself. Several suppliers are located on the internet.

    Have you tried to install a third party player to check if the problem persists?
    You can test it with VLC player. Download is free.

    You created the recovery DVDs?
    It will be interesting to know if the DVD writing is possible.

    You know that's not easy to say what the problem is here. You need to know if it's general order questions with optical drive or related to the drive that you are using.

  • What CD/DVD drive is compatible with Satellite 220CS

    I gave up trying to get the USB works on my win95 Satellite 220CS laptop.
    I decided to load Win 98 but have no CD player.

    We know the internal CD drive for this laptop model.
    I know its old & outdated but I just use it in my Studio to execute TURBOCNC to my milling machine.

    TIA.

    Wow. It's really an oldie!

    To be honest, I don't think that someone here in the forum knows exactly what readers are compatible with this laptop.
    "I think that this series is older than some users here in the forum). Just kidding ;)

    I think you last resort might be the local ASP. Maybe they have a few old documents and Satellite 220CS parts lists.

    I finger keep he's crossed for you.

  • Satellite L30-134 PSL33E: CD/DVD player can't read data CD

    I bought my laptop (Satellite L30-134 PSL33E) 4 months ago and I had no problem with the optical drive of my Satellite. But yesterday, I discovered that my drive is no longer can read data CDs.

    I created a CD with the Toshiba ToDisc utility which contained MP3s. The CD works fine on another computer but when I try to play them on this computer Windows laptop tells me that the CD is blank and asks me if I want to save data.
