• How to replace the HDD on the Satellite U940-120?

  Hello world

  I would like to replace the HARD drive comes with my new laptop Satellite U940-120 with an SSD.
  Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to access the HARD disk location without breaking the lid.
  I pass the memory sticks, but not details.

  Any help with this is appreciated.

  Concerning
  McVries

  Please take a look at this document created by Toshiba:

  I think that's exactly what you are looking for.

• Guide: replace the HDD with SSD, Lenovo Y480

  Lenovo
  That's how I replaced my HDD with a SSD in my Lenovo Y480. I did it immediately, so there is no user file to consider. I used a key from Lenovo recovery. Read this guide in its entirety before starting.

  Execution time: about an hour.

  Items, you will need:

  -Y480 Lenovo

  -New SSD (I chose a Mushkin Chronos Deluxe because my research lead me to conclude that it is the best available from June 2012)

  -Small Phillips screwdriver

  -Butter knife or similar to remove the HARD drive. There is not much space for your fingers in there.

  -DVD-r blank

  Step 1

  Turn on the computer.

  Step 2

  Write the number '1' on a blank DVD-R and insert into the optical drive.

  Step 3

  Press the small button just to the right of the power button. This launches a recovery key.

  Step 4

  Follow the instructions on the screen to make restore disks. I chose the factory restore option, which required three DVD - Rs. label each disc with numbers to let you know in what order to use them later. Once it is finished, place back #1 DVD into the optical drive.

  Step 5

  Physically remove the hard drive and insert the SSD drive by following the instructions below.

  1. turn off and unplug your computer, flip upside down.
  2. remove the battery.
  3. remove the access panel by removing the two screws and slide.
  4. remove the two screws that hold the hard drive carrier.
  5 remove the hard drive by lifting upward. There is a right angle SATA adapter plugged into the hard drive. This card just came out with the hard drive.
  6 disconnect the hard drive adapter and plug it on the SSD.
  7 unscrew the hard drive bracket and screw it on the SSD.
  8 put the SSD drive in the Bay, screw the support down and replace the access panel. Be sure to screw it up.
  9. replace the battery, lock.

  Step 6

  If you did not already the first recovery DVD in the optical drive, use a paper clip to open the optical drive and insert the diskette. Close the drawer, then turn on the computer to start the restoration.

  Step 7

  Select the boot drive by pressing F12 when you see the Lenovo logo during startup, and then select the optical/DVD drive in the list.

  Step 8

  Follow the instructions on the screen. The first time that I did, restoration impossible immediately, probably because of a missing partition. However, after restarting the computer by performing a battery pull, then continue to step 6 restore completed successfully.

  I have not compared this drive, but I can tell you that the Windows experience index is 7.9 and startup time is 24 seconds now. The base index is 6.8 for this system now.

  You will find that Windows has already helped TRIM. However, regular defragmentattion was still on. I think that the system restore has been disabled automatically.

  Good luck

  Matt

  I saw no option for this, and I was quite surprised, that he didn't do it automatically. I'm not an expert on everything, so what follows is a guess.

  Perhaps that if you create a partition on the SSD first, recovery will recognize and use it.

• How to replace the HDD on Satellite 1130?

  How to replace the hard drive in this notebook?

  Hello

  If I remember well HDD is under the optical media drive. Optical media drive is fixed with a screw that you see above the player. Remove the screw and remove the drive from the Bay.

  HARD drive is fixed, I think, 4 screws (probably black). When the screws are removed you can use two fingers to remove the HDD from the connector plug. I hope you now know how to put the new HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Compaq Presario CQ42-234TU: replace the HDD with SSD

  Hi, I want to know if I can replace the HARD drive with one Sumsung EVO 850 500 GB SSD, if not what other SSD can be used?

  Yes, but it's a lot of money to spend on a laptop that is likely worth less than the cost of the SSDS (about $175 I guess). The specifications of this model are in the end very low what can even run an SSD efficiently. The SSD will help, but the money could be better spent on a new machine.

• Replace the HDD with a SSD

  Hi, I am a new consumer of HP and I would like to replace the HARD original with an SSD drive. The question is:

  If I do that, then I lost the warranty? (In English)

  Salvo, sono a nuovo consumatore di prodotti HP e sapere I wanted is sostituendo Hard disk capacity guarantee del PC original, grazie. (Italian)

  Hello:

  Unfortunately, there is no redress related to the support page and the driver of your laptop, so I have no idea whether or not you can do the job yoursel without voiding the warranty.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-15-R200-notebook-PC-series/7486447/model/7835232/manuals

  I suppose the easy way to say would be that if your laptop is a service door Bay on the bottom of the PC, you should be able to replace the disk hard if you see after removing the cover of the service Bay.

  If it's a solid background and without visible access panels, so it would be a model where access the disk cannot be done by an authorized service center.

  There is a manual related to the series 15-r000.  It is the series of model closer to you to your model.

  According to the manual, it seems you need to take about the portable unit departed and arrived at practice.

  They should fit you will have to climb on your HARD drive cage if there is an and that you may need a spacer inserted as some SSDS have a spacer for the filling of vacuum.

• HP laptop laptop 15-s104na: replace the HDD with SSD Crucial

  I have a HP/Compaq 15 - s104na with 2213 motherboard and BIOS F.24 with a 500 GB Toshiba HARD drive running Win8.1 (OEM).  Also have an M500 Crucial 240 GB SSD (firmware MU05) that Win7 worked in an old laptop Lenovo.  Thought I would try installing the SSD in laptop computer to speed things up a bit.

  However, although I have been able to clone HARD drive SSD (SSD connected via a USB/SATA bridge), when I installed it in the laptop, it didn't start.  The BIOS has been recognizing the Crucial SSD in the Boot Options, but then failed to boot from it returning 0xc0000225 (required is not connected).  Running the Recovery Manager HP of DVD has failed, too, is not surprising that DISKPART > LIST DISK did not show the SSD drive.

  Out of curiosity, I then tried a fresh install of the OS of a download of MS 8.1 using a generic key that gave the same result - not found disk.

  So, I guess there is something inconsistent between the motherboard for laptop and SSD Crucial.  Runs the compatibility check tool SSD Crucial returns zero compatible solutions, even if I didn't require any special drivers SATA SSD.  Looks like I'll stick with the existing HARD drive (which, to be fair, is not otherwise slow...!)

  Update my previous problem of BIOS without recognizing an SSD Crucial of M500.

  Person to HP or Crucial has been able to provide a solution, but now, I found a good solution to workaround where I installed the SSD drive in the optical drive Bay, leaving the original HARD disk.  Now the BIOS recognizes the SSD, and I did a clean install of Windows 10 on it as my C drive.  I leave my data on the HARD drive as my D drive.  Fortunately, I don't want an internal optical drive.

  So, I now have the benefits of an SSD while also having a lot of data storage space!

  Hope this can help others avoid hours of frustration...

• Recovery of Satellite A215 after replacing the hard drive

  I have a Satellite A215 from issues taken to a store, they said the hard drive was going wrong, they extracted the files it could.
  I replaced the concert of 80 hitachi Moose with a new concert of 500 hitachi. When I try to launch the boot disc that came with the computer it says loading windows then goes to a recovery mode and I can't function.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you

  At this point, it would be interesting to know if the same thing would happen with 100 GB HARD drive. Do you get the such or similar HDD somewhere for testing purposes?

  It's that you can't manipulate image recovery and recovery installation procedure. Either it works or not.
  To be honest, I'm a little surprised by your upgrade. I can't imagine that a small car can work with stronger engine 10 times. What do you think?

• Satellite U940 - backlight on the keyboard in Linux

  In addition to Windows 8, I installed Linux Mint 14 cinnamon on my Satellite U940-101 (now I have a sort of dual boot by activating the UEFI option in Bios power switch). Everything works fine, except for the lighting of the keyboard under Linux.

  According to other forums, the only possibility to activate the backlight is to disable ACPI in the Bios. The problem is that in the Bios of the U940-101 (Bios Version 1.20), there is no option, at least I'm not and there is also that no Bios update available yet.
  Does anyone know how to activate the backlight of the keyboard in these circumstances?

  Thanks in advance!

  As far as I know, keyboard backlight is controlled by the specific tool of Toshiba and it is designed for Windows operating system only, so I put t think that the BIOS update will or can help you with this.

• Z440: Z Turbo - replace the m2 SSD?

  I bought a HP Z440 (G1X59EA) a year ago and it came with a HP Z Turbo 256 GB card installed as the OS drive.

  Now, I want to replace the stick M.2 256 GB on a stick of 512 GB m2 Z Turbo PCIe card and wonder if I can just buy a Samsung MZ-V5P512BW standard and simply replace the original m2 stick on my HP Z Turbo card. (The original m2 stick is Samsung).

  Purchase of a new Turbo Z 512 GB card PCIe is too expensive, that s why I want to just buy a new m2 paste and replace the old. I am aware that I have to reinstall my OS.

  Or, to simplify, the m2 on the Turbo Z cards are a standard m2 card?

  / Roger

  Use Crystal info disc to find out what is installed and then you know what you need when you replace the 256Go. Crystal disc will tell you which interface is used.

  http://CrystalMark.info/software/CrystalDiskInfo/index-e.html

  The Samsung PCIE device you mentioned is not viable as a direct substitute in the HP Turbo Z card.

  It uses a NVMe interface instead of the MLC nand which uses theTurbo Z M.2 SSD .

  Here is an article that will give you a sone preview what I mean.
