Satellite Pro L20 - How can I change the optical drive?

I want to change the optical drive in a satellite pro L20 but I'm having trouble finding instructions on how to remove it. Can anyone help?

The CURIOUS reader is fixed with a screw at the bottom of the unit. Then, turn the computer over and remove one screw an optical disk drive.
The second screw is hidden under the keyboard. That's why this screw must be removed also. And then disconnect you should be able to pull-out of the optical drive.

But note; If you have no experience of these things, ask a technician for laptop computer to help him.

Good luck

    Hello

    As much as I know the of A40 Satellite Pro supports the Intel 852GME shared memory graphic card.
    S control Intel cards automatically memory allocation.

    This means that if the graphic card must more 16 MB of memory, the graphics driver will share the part of main memory!
    The whole process runs automatically and you do not need to change anything!

    Hello

    How can I chance the A10 coastal boot?

    Hello!

    I think you should check the BIOS again because as far as I know, there you can change the boot priority.
    In addition, you should find more options in the BIOS as only the Date and time.

    Check it!

  • Satellite Pro 440cdx - how can I change the brightness or contrast

    My screen is weak and hard to see objects on the screen, any advice will be more welcome.many thanks for any help.

    Hello

    The brightness of the display can be changed by pressing the FN or FN + F6, F7 key combination.
    The contrast could not be changed on the screens of laptops that it is set automatically.

    But if it of very difficult to see anything on the screen, then an FL inverter may default.
    The fl inverter is a small part that controls the brightness of the display.
    Maybe it s need to be replaced.

    After the installation of the VAP (value added package) for Win 7, you can configure the keys by pressing the button for the first time.

    I did it on my laptop after changing from Vista to Windows 7.
    I pressed a button and the window a pop-up asking me which application should be attributed to this button.

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the display on your laptop driver? Check the Toshiba site for an update:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
    And what operating system are you using? Have you installed all Windows updates?

    For external LCD, monitors, you must set the screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.
    And if you want to change the resolution of the screen, you must select the second monitor in the graphics options on Windows.

  • Satellite Pro 6000 - how can I update the BIOS?

    Hi all

    I have the problem that my laptop does not start 9 of 10 times with the message: * block 1 BIOS is damaged, call your service man.

    I want to update BIOS but for the Satellite Pro 6000 I can only find an update the BIOS from Windows. But my laptop does not start! Rarely the machine starts, but when I try to update the BIOS, I get the message that I already have the latest version of the BIOS

    My questions:
    * Is there a BIOS update file that is a BIOS floppy? (for example the Satellite Pro 6100 has 2 BIOS files, 1 Windows and 1 making a floppy disk)
    * Is it possible to update the BIOS with the same version of Windows?

    Or perhaps there is another solution for this problem? Has no need to update my BIOS?

    Thank you.

    Hans

    Hello

    I agree with Luke.
    The rom Bios module seems to be damage.
    Either it must be replaced or flashed again.

    But you won't be able to do that! The update of the Bios on the Toshiba page focuses on winning and you will not be able to update if the windows are not running.

    You last chance is an ASP that could check the BIOS ROM.
    As I said, most high, maybe new reflash module Rom help but cela can be answered simply by an ASP technician who checked this.

  • Satellite P300D 10V - how can I update the display driver?

    I have a Satellite P300D 10V and there ATI radeon hd 3xxx series display panel. I bought Starcraft 2 and there was an error message: that the display driver is outdated.

    I went on ati.com. They say I have to get the driver from Toshiba. I went to Toshiba, had the driver. When you try to install it says no components to install. I uninstalled the ati driver and tried again. The same thing.

    Now I don't have driver for the graphics card. How can I install the driver?

    Help, please!

    Hey,.

    This means that you have uninstalled the old display driver, but now, you are not able to install the latest version of Toshiba?
    Well, what OS do you have?

    Before installing the new display driver, you should decompress all the files. Then run the setup.exe file.
    If you get the same error message, try to install the driver through the Device Manager.

    I think it's on the same side where the reader is placed.

    1. turn the computer.
    2. remove the screw of the cover of the HDD location and remove the cover.
    3. remove the screws fixing the HARD drive ASSY.
    4. hold the HARD drive door handle and remove the drive HARD ASSY.
    5. remove the screws that attach the HARD drive.
    6 detach the HARD drive from the HARD drive support.

    That's all

    Can you please tell us what Satellite Pro laptop computer you have exactly?

    Normally before update you a driver, you must uninstall the old version first. Reboot the laptop, then I recommend that you install the most recent version.

    By the way: I had a similar that I deliver couldn t install new Intel driver. I solved the problem if I install the manual of the driver through the Device Manager and of the Advanced installation routine. I chose the directory driver myself and it worked! :)
