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

    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.

    Hello

    I think the disk replacement procedure is very similar to replacements on other laptops.
    To remove the STRANGE bay module follow these steps:

    1. turn the computer.
    2. remove the black binding screws.
    3 turn the computer over and open the display.
    4. push the module bay ODD.

    All that s. It s not achieved with a screw.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - how to identify the sound card

    Hello

    don't know if you can help me on this one, I have more or less the same problem.
    Bit long-winded, but we broken rececently, very clever thieves, stole a number of point with my computer with disks of Toshiba bag. (LOL) the lap top was next to the bag on the desk, they left.

    Since then contracted a virus which means I had to completely format the hard drive and installed XP.

    No problem, but now I can not find the audio drivers right. Q. How can I identify the sound card on the top of the Tower?

    You n t know what sound chip has your laptop?
    On the Europe of Toshiba page you can find the drivers for this model of laptop.
    I can see that the Realtek sound card driver has been released and so I'm 100% sure that the sound chip was made by Realtek.

  • Satellite Pro 480cdt: how to replace the power supply and memory?

    I broke the tip of the power where it goes to the back of the computer. The two pins came away from the cable. What is the size of the plug round I am looking for as a replacement? Assume that there is a standard fitting of Toshiba.

    The right size to upgrade as the memory is 128 MB. He got 64 MB it's 2 x 32 MB. I guess we're soldered in, but I can remove the other 32 MB and put the 128.

    Are these modules memory square-shaped?
    Finally, a link to the service manual would be very helpful.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It's really an old unit and it is not easy to find a lot of information. I found the info that this device can use 160MO max. Module of RAM compatible RAM are:
    16 MB PA2039U
    PA2040U 32 MB
    48 MB PA2041U
    128 MB PA2042U
    I don t really know where is placed expansion slot memory but check the underside first. Otherwise, that it may also be placed under the keyboard.

    Replacement of plug power is a bit complicated, and in this case I can't help you at all.

    In any case good luck with your oldie!

    Hello

    It's very strange that you can not remove the optical drive as DVD - ROM drive Assembly is secured with just a screw on the underside. If the screw is removed, you just pull all of the DVD-ROM drive.

    There is no other screws.

  • Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

    I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

    The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

    BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

    WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

    Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

    + The message was edited: link has been removed ad channel may not +.

    Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
    Be careful about this.

    By the way: do other FN keys FN + F8 work or simply not?

    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.

  • Satellite Pro A120: How do I remove the CD/DVD drive

    I have 2 main problems and doesn't seem to completely open the case.
    Does anyone know how to remove the dvd - rom?

    But my mainproblem is swith power Ribbon (blue) has come off the motherboard. But as I can't open completely the case im with tweezers for trying to recconect.

    Does not seem to want to go.
    Is there a clip into the connector on the motherboard or is it just push in? A picture or a diagram would be helpful.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    One question; Why are you doing this?
    I mean why you want to open the notebook?
    Always it is that Satellite Pro A120 is not an old notebook and I presume that the guarantee is valid.
    If you remove the lid of the laptop, you will lose the warranty!

    The removal of CD/DVD is very easy.
    Usually, it is fixed with a screw located at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove first, and then he should be able to take off from the STRANGE.
