Satellite M70 necessary replacement of boards of DVD player

Hello

The carpet * a s of U.S.-841 DVD player in my M70 has expired.
I would like to replace it with a Sony Optiarc, but I noticed it says Vista OS and I have XP Home Edition.

I spent hours of looking for it and I can't find a compatible player, can someone tell me if the Sony is ok or recommend a suitable alternative?

I don't want to shell out the money and have many questions that just make it work straight out of the box, well that fiddling with minor is not a problem...

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hey Andy,

I put t know if the other drive you want to say will work in your Satellite M70 but I would recommend consulted the user manual of your laptop. There you can find a list of compatible readers, they are pre-tested. You can find this information on the first pages, I think.
Check this box!

The fact is that not all drives are compatible with all laptops, then you should buy a pre-tested player.

  • Satellite M70-173 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

    Hello

    I have an old but expensive laptop (Satellite M70-173). The CD/DVD drive is a carpet * a UJ - 841 s and can currently only read DVDs and CDs
    I have Nero installed 8.3.7.1, but it does not allow me to burn any DVD or CD
    I have all the updates that are installed for Nero, have also removed the "upper and lower limits" in the registry.

    It is not a mark of DVD or CD that I have not yet tried, but they all are coasters.

    I have the following options:

    1. try to set the drive - either with the technical assistance of the forum or replace the disk, so I decided that it is a hardware error

    2 buy a new laptop - but also like some advise on how to "clone" of the current notebook that I have so many other programs installed that I bought over the years and do not want to lose.

    I made copies pdf of burning errors I can post if necessary.

    Any help is welcome

    Kind regards
    Juan

    Hello!

    > I made copies pdf errors burning I can post if necessary.
    Yes, I think it's a good idea. ;)
    Otherwise it of a bit difficult to help you.

    But what CDs and DVDs you tried to burn? I have good experiences with Verbatim and TDK. Check it!
    And you should burn on a lower speed for CD e. g. 16 x.

    Good bye

  • Satellite M70-337 - replacement hard drive

    Hello

    I need to replace the hard drive on my laptop. When the news is in place, it will be just a case of running the product recovery disc to get me and run again.

    Also, what would be the maximum size drive, it will take, and what kind I need. I guess it is a SATA.

    Thank you.

    I have the Satellite M70-159. It's the same as your. I can say for sure, you need driver SATA. I tested the 250 GB HARD drive on my laptop and it works perfectly. I'm 99.9% sure that you can use the HARD drive with 250 GB capacity more, but I think that 250 GB is enough.

    Replacement is very easy and you can do it in 5 minutes. Simply remove the HARD drive down coverage and you will see how it works.
    When the new drive is inside just put original recovery media in the optical disc drive and install WXP.
    If you do not, you can install what you want. In case you want to use Microsoft installations CD all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

    If you have any other questions let us know.

  • Satellite M70-337 - replacement of the main card

    Hi, can any 1 tell me. is the K000033860 new Toshiba Satellite M70 computer laptop motherboard
    the same TOSHIBA EQUIUM M70-173 card MOTHER K0000333860.

    where can I get a list of cards that will fit the Equium m70-337.
    Thank you

    I think it's the same thing. As far as I know Satellite M70 was offered with two hardware configurations:
    -Satellite M70 with PSM70E part number and Intel graphics card
    -Satellite M70 with PSM71E part number and ATI graphic chip

    Your laptop must be identical to PSM70E so I m 99.9% sure it's the motherboard even if you can use it.

    Hello

    I checked the driver Toshiba page and there you can choose between 2 different sets of Satellite M70.
    Do not forget that you have chosen the right way.

    Also if you have installed fresh OS, then you install all train drivers Toshiba site in the right order.
    I checked this site and it has placed building instructions.
    You must follow this instruction!

  • Satellite P300 - how to open a stuck DVD player?

    The DVD on my Satellite P300 drive just decided that she does not want to open. I tried to use a paper clip in the small hole next to the button, but that does not work either. The LED on the drive just flashes.

    Someone at - it other ideas.

    Thank you

    Ron

    Hey Buddy,

    Normally on every CD/DVD player there is a small button of relief that you can open the player with a small paper clip even the CD/DVD isn't working or the normal eject button. If you use the emergency eject button the drive opens and you can remove the CD or DVD.

    Also, check the user manual. I found this inside information. ;)

  • Satellite P300 - 1 5 problem with my DVD player

    When I put a DVD (game or film) in my DVD player, the computer tells me that the DVD is blank. He suggested me to burn the data above.

    Could you tell me where that comes from and how to solve my problem?

  • Recovery system on Satellite M70-204 PSM71E. The CD/DVD drive does not work

    Hello!

    Can you please give me a help and advice on how to solve the following problems:

    I got on the last minor problems for three months with Windows Installer: software updates may not always be performed successfully, an error message was issued by Windows Installer on Quick Time, when I started the computer. Apart from him, the computer has been properly runing. I was intending to restore the system with the Toshiba CD in the coming weeks to correct the problems.

    But since yesterday, I had a new problem. The CD drive is not recognized in Windows XP.

    I tried to repair the driver from the CD player, following the procedure described by Toshiba. It did not work. I don't know if this is a hardware or a software problem preventing me to recognize and use the CD drive and DVD under Windows XP and I don't know or if I can run even more a restoration process.

    _ * 1 / if I run a restore process, I think that, initially, the HD will be formatted. How can I be sure that my computer will be able to read the data from the Toshiba Recovery CD? * _ (I have today a computer that almost works. I do not want to be stuck with a dead computer, if the restore process fails because of the CD driver)

    _ * 2 / is it possible to restore without using the internal CD player? (using an external CD drive or an external hard drive) * _

    Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

    I delighted to hear that you solved this Mr. thank you for the comments!

  • Satellite C55 - how to re - install the DVD player

  • Satellite M70: How to get the Express Media Player feature?

    I M70, but I formatted it once I bought it. Now, you could tell me how to recover the function of Express Media Player? There is no setup.exe file in the Express Media Player recovery CD.

    Thank you

    Hello Weimin

    In order to use the media functions Express the Mediaplayer Express Recovery CD must be performed before performing the recovery from the recovery DVD-ROM products.
    You can't run Express Media player after performing a recovery.

    Should at least 150-200 MB of available free space on the HARD drive.
    This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
    To start the installation, you must boot from the recovery Express Mediaplayer CD

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L500-12F - problem with CD/DVD player and screen

    Hello...

    I have a few questions on my laptop...

    1. is it normal that the DVD rom on some DVD/CD it is very noisy and vibrates a lot, spesialy on older CD

    2. the lid of my laptop when I close its kinda not in harmony with the rest of the pc it is not fully aligned, but it's a little difficult to see wait when you look for it... but its good on and what is not lost or anything just not setting for the "body" of the laptop

    3. the cover still once, under the screen where the cover is mounted on the 'body' off the laptop so... It is not glued to the screen as the rest of the rolled edges it is right next to him that you can drag into it, so you can see the wires enter the screen etc.
    is this normal?

    -Thank you

    Hey Pedersen37,

    (1) maybe your old CD's doesn't work correctly. What happens if you try the same disks in another computer?

    Regarding your display/cover problem if you mean that you can see the cables that they go into the screen I can see it on my laptop. Normally, all the cables are invisible and under the plastic.
    He s strange to say something on the subject but maybe a lid plastic isn't installed correctly or a screw is missing

    If you think that something isn't normal, you should contact your authorized service provider. They can check the laptop.

  • Satellite A30: Need a new firmware for DVD player

    Hello

    I'm looking to the original Firmware for my DVD-Rom, as he stopped playing DVD-R after I tried to make the region free drive. I still can't play CD and DVD original but not DVD-R

    It is said with the firmware I found on the page of toshiba FW Update Tool.exe Firmware already updated drivers.
    Is there an original Firmware for the A30 Series?

    Hello

    I guess you have tried to install application 3rd on your drive to make it region free? Am I wrong?
    Well, it seems that this software is responsible for the problem.
    I guess that this device has been delivered with the SD-R2412 reader, but I m not 100% sure.

    You can visit this page:
    eltype http://www.Toshiba-Europe.com/storage/PFT.asp?page=pft&NAV=RSC_ARC&model=SDR2412&spr_mod = COMBOSL & spr_model = SDR2412

  • I need to. To replace a computer portable DVD player with the same model exactly?

    I have a Pavilion Dv6 with a TS-l633j player, which is a failure. The drive is recognized in Windows (7 64-bit), but won't any DVD discs although it reads and plays audio CDs.

    I tried everything short of reinstalling Windows. I think that the drive is toast now after trying a boot disk to start did not work... So the question is...

    Can I use a ts-l633 instead a ts-l633j? The l633 is easier (cheaper).

    Thanks in advance

    Yes, you can install any optical drive SATA to a good thickness. You may need to adjust the faceplate if you buy just a bare drive and optical drives are almost as generic than hard drives.
