  Hi Rob

  It is quite complicated to explain how to remove the optical disk drive. Before you do this, you must remove the top cover. The optical disk drive is fixed with two screws. When you remove the two of them, you can get out the ODD of its Bay.

  Sorry, but without exact maintenance manuals is not easy to explain this. It is quite complicated to disassemble the procedure for this model of laptop. Do you have already removed your Satellite Pro?

• Can satellite A100-097 - I replace the cd - dvd drive

  Hello

  The cd-burner in my Satellite A100-097 drive begins to age, burns can sometimes fail, sometimes cannot even read simple audio cds.

  Can someone tell me if I can replace it with a new and where to find it, finally?

  Thank you
  Andrea

  Hello

  Yes, you can replace the CD/DVD drive with a new one.
  But be aware that not all of the sides are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings

  Manual of use you should find some details about compatible readers and supported
  Check it out
  If you have no user manual then go to the Toshiba European page to download.

  In addition, you can buy a player of an ASP supported in your country
  The guys would be able to order it at Toshiba if necessary.

• Re: Satellite A100-692 - how to replace the CD/DVD drive?

  Hello

  the device DVD/combined my A100-692 is damaged and I want to replace it.
  I found no still no guide how to replace the unit.

  Is there something available?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello!

  AFAIK, you must remove the keyboard first, before you can replace the CD/DVD drive. Remove the screws on the lower side, and then you can push the disc if you have replaced the keyboard.
  It seems to be a bit tricky

  Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help. They can replace the CD/DVD drive for you.

  Good bye

• After dismantling Satellite A60 cannot detect the CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  I opened my laptop to clean-up and it was the first time that I never opened a laptop. Messed up at the opening of the cd/dvd drive.
  Instead of just pulling out, I started its opening screw but quickly realized that this is not the right way. So I took it out. Rest of the disassembly procedure went well and I assembled it back but he little silver r 2 bands and a small source, which I'm sure that belongs to the CD player and I couldn't adapt it.
  And I don't know how it fits.
  The computer does not detect the drive. Although I can open it by clicking on the Open button, then he hang out by sharp object. (The light will blink showing the power exists in)

  The second thing is the microphone. I've never used until last week, but my voice is going through. The system does not detect any microphone.

  Help appreciated

  Hello

  On this path, it is not easy to say what is the problem with CD/DVD player. Are there signs of the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager or the drive is not displayed in Windows Explorer?

  How did you test mic? Try it with the tape recorder for windows. So you can test the functionality of the mic on the easiest way.

• Satellite Pro A120 - how to replace the CD/DVD drive?

  Hello

  My DVD/CD drive does not work much more and I want to replace it, but cannot find a way how to remove it from the drive. Anyone able to help me with that? Which screws I need to remove and where? Thank you!

  Hi caribman,

  As much as I know the ODD of replacement is not so easy. The drive is secured by a screw and to remove this screw, you need to remove the keyboard and the other parties as well.

  In my opinion, this should be done by a technician of laptop because it s a delicate procedure. It is not as easy as on the desktop, so I would contact a professional help

  Can someone tell me what I'll have to drivers? (for what pieces of equipment) And prehaps an easy way to get them? And even if it is possible.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  If I were you I would use rather Windows XP and Win2k because you won´t find drivers for Windows 2000.

  IF you need drivers, you can try it here:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  and you just have to download all the drivers and the software that is in the list of your machines.

  If you have any questions just ask :)

• Satellite X 200 and replace the HD-DVD player

  G ' Day

  I'm looking to replace the HD-DVD drive in my Toshiba X 200 (PSPBUA-00N007) with a Blu - Ray player (or burner). They are on the market yet and available at Toshiba (or, say, eBay)? What should I look for?

  The HD-DVD player is a cool historical anachronism, but Blu - Ray will probably be a little more useful for me in the future.

  Cheers for the help.

  Hello

  As far as I know, there are some Blueray drives on the market that can be used in the notebook. But the fact is that not all readers are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings.

  I didn t find information on compatible BR readers. I guess you will have to test it yourself.

  I found this thread:

• Satellite L30-134 - after HDD upgrade PC freezes and won't start

  Hello
  I upgraded my Satellite L30-134 of the standard 60 GB HDD for a new 120 GB. After that, I have the following problem:

  (1) after installing XP form to the recovery House DVDs works fine but after that 2-3 weeks of normal use it instantly freeze pc and after hard reboot the OP start up can do anything but to format the HARD drive. After that format cannot install original XP and Vista, the progress bar show me that the installation is complete but after reboot, nothing happens. This problem persists long wery. After 3-4 clean up one after another the pc starts and runs very well about 3 weeks. What is the problem? Any idea?

  (2) when I first install Vista or Linux PC is runing fine, but not in normal parameters. Always freeze but after hard reset works fine for about 2-3 days. When I install XP first that the PC is useles after hard reboot the only thing I can do is to format the HARD drive and do a clean install.

  PS: The HARD disk is produced Original Toshiba.

  Hello

  This strange boyfriend s but to me it sounds like that, these problems are caused from the new HARD drive that may be defective.

  I think you should test the HDD using Hitachi Drive Fitness Test:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive test.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  Good luck and give us feedback, what happened! :)

• Replacing the CD/DVD with SSD

  Hi, I have a mid-2009 13 "Macbook, and I plan to replace the CD/DVD drive (which it doesn't) with an SSD, instead of replacing it with a new CD player.

  I would move so that OSX and software on the new SSD, leaving other data on my main hard drive. I read that the best solution is to install OSX on the SSD from scratch, since migration it seems impossible, but how then I could remove the 'duplicate' old of my HDD main OSX?
  The entire migration process is not quite clear to me, I wouldn't mind some step by step instructions.

  Thank you in advance!

  1st, I did it on an iMac, so I went through it.

  You can use a utility cloning as Carbon Copy clone (demo fully active 1 month) or SuperDuper free (free for a full clone) to move your boot disk for SSD and it will be fully functional.  In my case, I used Carbon Copy Cloner.  It is even technically possible to use the Applications-> utilities-> disk utility-> restoration as a means to clone the drive, but I find it cumbersome.

  <http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html>

  <https://www.bombich.com/>

  I think you could also just restore a backup Time Machine for the SSD as well (although I did not do that, so I don't know the details).

  You can do a clean install and get rid of any cruft you've accumulated over the years and then install only the stuff that you are currently using.

  Or you could do a clean install and then use the Applications-> utilities-> Migration Wizard move above specific categories of files of initial startup disk.

  After you have the SSD running with your software on it, consider allowing TRIM

  I used OWC <http://MacSales.com> kit data-Doubler to replace my iMac DVD by an SSD.  They provided everything I needed.  I chose a kit including the tools I needed.  I also watched the OWC installation videos, as well as on YouTube to become familiar with the installation.  And I had a copy of the instructions to disassembly <http://iFixIt.com> and images to print for reference, while doing the installation.  I would have recorded any screws that I removed the instructions that told me to remove that screw then I would make sure I would put the correct screws into the appropriate holes.
