Upgrade to a DVD to a Blu - Ray drive in a HP Pavilion DV6910 laptop

My DV6910 came with a dvd/cd rom drive and I thought that the switch will be simple, but I have a feeling that the sata connector is going to be different. I bought a used one and it is on its way, but I'm starting to see photos of some of the connection point and the connectors while the two sata, are different. The one I bought did not have a picture of the back, but I suspect it's like others I've seen. All this experience?

Hello

I don't think that the laptop is powerful enough to manage blu - ray discs. I checked the specs for a dv6910us and there's a D2C AMD 2 GHz cpu and nVidia 7150 M, which is a very bad set config to play BR discs Readers Blu - Ray are supported on Intel based dv6700 recommended full portable series that might suggest that it would be the same on dv6900 series laptops.

  • Satellite A200-21dts CD/DVD drive with a Blu - ray drive replacement

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite A200-21dts supplied with the mat * a UJ-850 drive.

    My original disk no longer works...
    I plan to buy a new one, but I wish that whoever has a buit in the Blu - ray dvd player.

    I've heard that not all players are working with Toshiba laptops, so I would like a little help to find a bluray player that would work with my laptop.

    Two readers caught my attention:
    the Panasonic UJ - 120 and the Sony BC 5500 has.

    These drivers work with Toshibas?
    Anyone have another suggestion?

    Thank you much for the help!

    Hello

    > These drivers work with Toshibas?
    I think you will have to test it yourself.
    As much as I know Toshiba didn t nothing said about Blueray players compatible Satellite A200.

    The fact is that not all readers are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    With the help of ODD is not compatible you will get an IDE #1 error and the drive will not be recognized by the BIOS.

    But I've read here in the forum that some guy managed to upgrade own Toshiba units with a blue ray player
    So I m thinking you've got a good opportunity to update.

    Hello

    I think that it should be possible, but we need to find an internal Bluray drive with compatible master/slave/c-salt settings.
    Optical disc with bad settings would not be recognized by the BIOS.

    As far as I know that some Toshiba laptops are equipped with an internal bluray drive.
    I recommend a compatible player requesting an ASP.

  • HP mediasmart dvd - play the blu - ray disc Avengers

    Hello

    I have a hp laptop with win 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    I use the HP Mediasmart DvD version 4.2.2.5122 of the software and I can not play the Avengers Blu - ray disc - all other bd drives works fine (tintin, avatar, etc.). Does anyone know if there will be an update for Mediasmart dvd software support disk Avengers?

    Hello

    If you use HP MediaSmart DVD to read Blu - ray disc, try the following.

    HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution.  Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

    Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once this done, see if your Blu - ray disc now plays OK.

    Kind regards

  • Virtual Blu Ray player or Blu Ray drives external programs... Which one? Myth or Muffin?

    Greetings one and all,

    Alrighty then let me are the sitch. When I bought my computer two years ago I got to worth the money, cash, dough or dollars to buy, so I had to skimp on what I wanted. The main thing I have the proverbial axe was the disk/drive Blu Ray, my PS3 could handle plqaying already so I was not too broken not to have one in the computer, after all, it was a short walk to the center of pop entertainment in the dics and press play.

    Well, it was then and this is now and I have become totally lazy and should rather not do the loooong now trek to the PS3 to play my Blu Ray DVD more and prefer to have this accomplished through my computer without the need to install another drive. So now I'm looking for ways to accomplish these tasks by getting either a Blu Ray drive/external drive, or use one of the many "virtual drive Blu - Ray reader/programs I've seen available for download on the net?

    Now the first choice is to say... the external hard drive is pretty easy to install, just pop something cord USB into the USB port and tah dah Uncle Bob, you have a Blue Ray disc/player! The second path, that the program Virtual Drive/drive Blu Ray, becomes a much more confusing question, a question I am now in touch with you very smart people. Okay here's my stupid question...  These programs will work through my factory installed Combo drive CD/DVD Drive to play my Blu Ray DVD on my calculation? Or do I really have to buy something else to achieve?

    Hi Tiffany Snow,

     
    Welcome to the Microsoft Community, thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community. You will need a physical bluray player to read physical disks. A virtual disk appears only on the computer disk images.

  • X230T USB 3 port sleep problem with external Blu - Ray drive

    Hi all

    I bought a new LG external blu - ray drive and I have problems with it sleeps very quickly.  It is recognized in Windows 7 and will be available for a short period of time after I turn it on, but if I don't use it for 30 seconds, it's in a kind of fashion 'sleep'.  It works perfectly on the single WE port 2.0 on the X230T so there must be something with the 3.0 port.  The drive is powered by an AC adapter and USB 3.0 cable included one.

    I tried to disable all the properties sleeping USB in all areas of power management and power options in Windows.  Also enabled and disabled USB hub root energy saving.  Also, I went through the BIOS and threw the USB options as well and can't find why it is go to sleep so quickly.  I have the latest firmware on the drive, as well as the latest drivers Lenovo USB 3.0 for the X230T.

    I guess I'm out of luck at this point because I think I've tried all possible solutions?

    Thank you.

    Hi again,

    I have looked on the specs and do not see why this problem should occur. I would make sure that the BIOS is updated, if you have not already. The latest BIOS for your machine is 2.03 and came out a month ago. This update, you can find here. And if this does not work, can you check and publish what are the settings in your BIOS Config > USB Configuration?

    Best,

    Adam

  • Y580 - what is the difference between 'Blu-ray/DVD Combo' and 'Blu-ray/DVD-RW?

    Can writer "Blu-ray/DVD Combo", I want to say burn on nine DVD disc?

    The two discs are identical, they can read and write CDs and DVDs and to read (but not write) Blu - ray. They are written differently because Lenovo doing weird things like that. For example, in configurations of Y480 they are all listed as having "Bluetooth 4.0" except one which is just listed as having "Bluetooth." Sometimes, when they add new configurations to the page, they will write some of the specifications without checking existing configurations to ensure uniformity in the way they write the terminology. Include DVD double or double layer dvd too

  • update my optical drive DVD - RW for Blue Ray

    Hello

    I have the HP - dm4. I want to upgrade the optical drive to Ray blue one. Anyone know how to find the correct Blue ray optical drive for the dm4 computer?

    Concerning

    Here are the dimensions of the player, 128 (W) x 12.7 (H) x 127 mm (D). The thickness is what may change, but something after 2008 will be 12.7 mm thick. Remove your old drive and I can somewhat guarantee that these dimensions will be the same. The depth is measured with on the cover.

    I also did some checking autour and some new very can be even thinner at 9.5 mm thick, check yours and compare with what you're going to buy, but your probably going to be 12.7 mm thick. (thickness is measured at its share of thickness)

    Of course, you can remove the DVD writer and put in a BD - RW SATA drive or add the burner BR. There are 2 bays of 5.25 inches and only is occupied. You will need software to watch BluRay movies and burn Blu - Ray media, but it works perfectly.

  • Add to MT 9010 DVD burner with Blu - Ray burner as a second burner

    I am looking for a MT 9010 with a Blu - Ray combo burner. I also want to add a DVD burner as a second burner. Sales said that the system cannot be bought like that. Is it just the way they are sold, or it's physically impossible to add a second burner? There is one external slot open, and it would seem that the motherboard could support. Can I add a DVD burner myself if I get the MT 9010 with the already installed Blu - Ray burner? Thank you.

    Hi jaman57,

    OptiPlex 9010 MT has two optical drive bays and four SATA ports on the motherboard. Yes, you can add a DVD burner yourself with the Blu - Ray burner. The image of the façade is provided below:
