Star Wars h.e. 15-an000nl: optical drive Swap with a ssd will void the warranty?

Hi all

I am a proud new owner of this machine, and since it comes with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM and I am also a happy owner of an SSD, I was wondering if the optical drive with the ssd Exchange void my warranty?

I read a little the other q / a and I see that if I try to reach the drive, with all the screws and the cover plastic to raise, I'll probably end by unsecured (actually is not very clear if it's for sure or I'll use a ssd tested non hp...) and since then to remove the optical drive , I just remove a screw, buy an adapter and you're good to go...

So my question is: what limits should I beyond the warranty for you? It's just the opening action itself, or there is more?

And since I write here, optical drive sata port is a sata3 as (I hope) the hard disk it is? Would you recommend this operation?

Thanks in advance for any assistance received...

The optical drive is an authorized user of replacement so you can put an SSD in an optical caddy and will not void the warranty but I do not recommend: 1. the interface is slower; and 2. You cannot start it. Unfortunately, access to the internal hard drive space is verboten and may void the warranty. We can speculate and say if it's done well, nobody would know and likely HP won't guarantee, but we can get official word on this, so the smartest thing is to assume the worst. If you don't care the guarantee and want just your laptop to be quick, we are happy to help you with the understanding that you risk the warranty.

    My optical drive does not show in the "Device Manager", the eject button does not work - I can only eject through the pin hole.

    This means that the drivers are missing or that the disc is broken?

    Original title: Reader in mind windows 7

    Its possible the drive has failed. Is this an internal or an external drive? In both cases, make sure that all cables are properly connected and functional, including the power cables. If its a USB external drive then try another USB port.

    But, assuming that you tried to update the drivers (get the latest compatible drivers on the manufacturers for your brand/model/OS(32/64 bit) PC support site and install to see if that helps - first set a system restore point)) and then see if this MS article helps - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems?wa=wsignin1.0

    Regarding the browser data store.  Toggle the display of data warehouses in the vi client.  Or press ctrl-shift-d.  Here, right-click on your data store, and then select Browse datastore.  When that opens, add at the top of your taskbar, next to the folder icon, is a download icon, a disc with an arrow.  This will allow you to download files to your data store.  Navigate to a folder in your data store and download the ISO to.

    It is a roundabout process, but will work if other methods fail.  With the ILO.  You can map your local cd through the ILO on a drive on the local ESX host.  This will make your local client drive, walk of the esx.  With one side mounted ESX host, in the settings of your virtual machine, you can edit the cd and this time, instead of customer, you can select the host device.

  • Optical drive swap HDX18t necessary info

    Hello

    Earlier this year, I ordered a HDX18t provided with a HL CT10L (SATA) blu - ray player but now I would like to swap out for a HL GBW-B10N burner blu - ray, which is also SATA, the question is how can I do to do this? On my previous laptop Dell I could do it very quickly but I'm not sure how to do it on this one and I don't want to break anything. I have to take the bottom completely off first? Should I just unscrew a few screws? Any help will be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Star Wars 15-an002ns: SSD installation socket m2

    Hello

    Recently I bought HP Star Wars Special Edition laptop for laptop - 15-an002n, which comes with 1 TB of HDD. I think it is too slow for the overall power of the rest of the components, and I intend to install a SSD for the OS. Consulted the manual, I see that the laptop has a blank m2 socket and some versions include an SSD there:

    M.2 SATA-3 (NGFF):
    ● SSD 256 GB, 2280, M.2, SATA-3, TLC

    I installed some other SATA III SSD, but never a type m2. My questions are:

    1 are there compatible with lower capacity models? I want to just install the OS here, so it would be enough with M.2 128 GB SSD.

    2 how the BIOS will recognize the new drive as primary drive? I need to change the settings?

    3. I alter anything else in the computer. This update will void the warranty?

    4 is recommended for installed the OS from scratch in the new drive or could I use disk clone software? In this case, which?

    Thanks in advance.

    Currently, there is a problem with end users not being able to get this empty housing to recognize a M.2 WSSD drive added after delivery to the details of the laptop. Technically, the trying to jeopardize the warranty but who never stops the hard core of the valuation. So for the time being, until HP provides an answer as to what is happening with m2 slots, I do not recommend that you do the upgrade. If you want to go faster, I recommend that you install a SATA 2.5 inch SSD in place and place of the mechanical hard drive. Even that, however, will show warranty issues.

  • El Capitan grateful suddenly don't no optical drive

    I have a MacBook Air running El Capitan, purchased 3/2016. I bought the optical drive when I bought the computer. I used the external drive to burn DVDs and CDs. Everything worked fine until I plugged the optical drive yesterday. I opened iTunes, plugged the disc inserted a cd and the window showing that I inserted the cd never popped up. The finder does not display the drive, even though I checked in preferences to show him. The only way I could safely remove the cd was going to disk utility where I could see the disc and the cd and eject it.

    I checked to make sure that the drive still works by inserting a DVD or CD in the optical drive. The two will play correctly, but I still have to go back into the disk utility to eject because the drive does not appear anywhere else.

    With iTunes running and the drive plugged with a blank CD inserted, the "playlist to burn to the disc" is grayed out, because the computer is not recognizing the drive.

    What can I do to get the computer/El Capitan to recognize the drive again?

    Reporting system shows the optical drive? Try the commands from the Terminal after the connection of an optical drive...

  • Satellite A500-025 - optical drive runs very fast and makes the laptop

    Just bought PC toshiba A500-025.

    When I put in some disc in the optical drive, it runs very fast and makes the phone vibrates.

    I was told that there is a toshiba utility that detects an imbalance in the disc and slows down the speed of the drive, but I don't know where to find this software utility.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think you mean the acoustic silencer
    As I remember, such tool was available for some laptops with pre-installed Win XP or Vista.
    For example; the acoustic silencer was available for some of the Satellite A200 and you could download this on the European driver Toshiba page.

    To be honest, there s nothing unusual that the CD/DVD drive runs very fast for a few moments, this happens in my portable two different.
    The STRANGE turns very quickly for a few seconds after the CD has been inserted.
    This happens because as the research of windows OS for the content placed on the disc

  • can I install an SSD on an optical drive in a HP Envy Phoenix

    I just bought a custom HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 810-350se CTO with a Raid 5 (3 x 2 TB) configuration, but I noticed and did some research it seems that it's better to have an SSD installed for faster computer access data, of course, I want to use for the operating system installed on it.  So I have two questions?

    (1.) I can change the configuration so that I can add a SSD on an optical drive? (This will be the 4th disc). Since I already use 3 HARD drive on a Raid 5 configuration and there is no more space on the left, I guess I can only use an empty space of optical drive and install a SSD?

    2.) is there a limitation on the number of readers and HARD disk can be installed on the motherboard?

    My proposed solution is to keep the 3 HARD drive and install a 4th disk (SSD) on the optical drive and use it to the operating system (Windows 8.1).

    Recommendations or suggestions is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    4 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 G RAID Hard Drive

    Hello

    Your PC is already using a bootloader of Windows 8 and if you load the SSD in UEFI mode, then you will add an another boot loader of Windows 8 for the menu eligible boot device.  This will lead to confusion.  I suggest that you avoid this situation by trying the following procedure:

    1. Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media
    2. Install the SSD on port 1 or 2
    3. Disable startup secure in the BIOS and set the legacy mode
    4. Start the Intel OPROM and rebuild the matrix RAID 5
    5. Boot into the BIOS and UEFI mode
    6. Start the external HP recovery media and load the SSD drive (SSD recommended size is 240 GB or more)
    7. Once you are currently running and then go to disk management and upward and format the matrix RAID like TPG

    The above procedure may or may not work, but that's what I would first try.

  • my external optical drive from shintaro has stopped working

    I have an optical drive external shintaro who has well functioned at the start and just

    Suddenly abandoned. Now, he's just rattling noises. Is there something

    Can I do?

    Is - this external hard drive (smaller) type that is getting power from the USB port of the iMac?  What is bigger, with its own power supply?

    Have you tried unplugged power (to completely disable)?  You stop the iMac also (power OFF).  Disconnect all the USB devices, with the exception of the standard USB keyboard and mouse (if used).  The iMac power and connect the optical drive se, to a USB direct on the iMac.  If a port does not work, try a different port.  If you have more than one USB cable, try another, to exclude the defective cable.  If the optical drive is USB 3.0, make sure that the cable you are trying is also assessed for USB 3.0 (not an older USB 2.0 cable).

  • Satellite A660 - optical driver turns off when burning DVD

    I have a problem with the optical drive of energy saving options that disables the drive while burning.

    I tried all the suggestions mentioned here [http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Satellite-Laptops-A-Series/Optical-drive-automatically-turns-off-due-to-power-saver/td-p/223654], but it does not help.

    I start at the burn in Ashampoo Burning Studio free, and he seems to be good until the end. When it starts the process of lead-out the popup of the optical signals Drive Power drive is turned off. It's funny because it is still running at the speed of combustion and it will not stop. The reader becomes unresponsive, even I can't the DVD out. Even, that it disappears from the list of devices.

    The only way I thought so far to stop the car and release the DVD is in the shutdown/Hibernate the computer.

    Once the dive starts working again the STRANGE Fn-tab functionality started working and I can turn it on/Off/ejection at will.

    All the burned DVD - s are not valid, and so far I have not managed to burn a single functional DVD.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 - PSAW3E with Win7 Enterprise 64-bit.

    Is there a way to fix this? Remove the optical drive power management?

    Hello

    To be honest I have never heard of this issue, but it appears that the optical drive power management is part of the power of Toshiba configuration utility.
    Part of the Toshiba value added package configuration done Toshiba power utility.

    What you can try, for testing purposes, to remove the Toshiba added value of the system package, restart your computer and try to burn DVDs again to see if the same problem will occur again.

    Toshiba value added package contains several tools such as utility cards flash FN so after his withdrawal, you will not be able to use the FN keys. In any case, after that trial, you can download and install Toshiba value added package again.
