Satellite C55-B5299 Optical Drive

I purchased two C55-B5299 laptops for my grandkids for Christmas and didn't realize they didn't have an optical drive.  After removing the insert blank and looking in the side slot of the unit, it looks like a drive can be installed on the laptop.  Can anyone give me a part number for a drive that will work with this particular model/
Thanks for the assistance.

  • Satellite C55-B5299 RAM Upgrade

    Hello all, I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite C55-B5299 and I would like to increase its RAM for better performance. On a few review sites, however, it is stated that the user is not able to upgrade the RAM in this laptop. So, is it possible to upgrade the RAM? If so, what is the maximum RAM it can hold, should I not exceed 1333 MHz, and is there any particular brand that would be best to use? Thank you!

     
    i would like to add a optical drive I need the part number
    Assuming you have the model in the Subject...
    Satellite C55-B5299 (PSCMLU-02801M)
    Satellite C50-BBT2N11 (PSCMLU-03801F) 
    That second computer (in the same part-number family as yours) can be ordered with the optical drive. Try asking for the part number of the drive in that model.

    PS These models are too new to be listed on the website. It would take a phone call.

  • Satellite a135-s4527 optical drive code 10

    The optical drive stopped working.  It is listed in device manager but has a code 10.  It will not read any media, and does not show up in My Computer.  Any suggestions?

  • Satellite M645 S4070 optical drive problem

    I have used my laptop for a year without problem. 
    Last weekend, i just noticed that my optical drive did not work any more.  When I put a DVD in, the drive indicator light flashed for couple seconds, then off.
    I checked device manager, the system shows the optical drive information, but with a exclamation mark which means sth is wrong.
    I uninstalled the driver and restarted my laptop.  It shows that the driver was not properly installed.
    By the way, I believe that I already disabled ODD power on/off utility.  I use windows 7.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.
    Solved!

    Hi Peter,
    I am having the same trouble as numerous others have mentioned on the board.  I have a Satellite L635 running Windows 7 and although I have had it for just about a year now, I have had no problems with the CD/DVD drive (very little used BTW) until today.  I've searched the boards and have done everything suggested...I already had all my power options where they should be (except my model does *not* have one specific for the optical drive--just the cooling method and FN Tab doesn't work on my model either), so I tried to uninstall the power saver, rebooted, and it didn't work.  I tried MS Fixit and it didn't work.  I went to the run command prompt and typed in regedit like another post suggested and went through those directions. All I had listed was upper filter, so I deleted that, rebooted, and found that it messed with my iTunes settings.  I had to install the lastest version of that anyways, so now, 7 hours later after the drive first took a crap, my iTunes is still giving me the message that "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software.  Please reinstall iTunes."
    After I had done the bulk of all of the suggestions, I rebooted and I was able to get info off of one disc, but then it crapped out again part-way through the second one.  Any other suggestions???

  • Overall Trouble With Satellite C55 B5299

    Hi Guys.....
    My wife has a Sat, Laptop C55 B5299. We have had constant trouble. Now I understand that she only has 2 gb
    of RAM...(which, if you figure the video card takes 1/2 gig....only 1 1/2 gb)....Could this be the only reason why there is so much trouble? Thanks, in advance. Carl

    While 2GB RAM is low for modern standards, it shouldn't be a major problem for regular use. Windows is very efficient at managing its memory. The impact of graphics use of memory varies based on how much you have and what you use it for. That number is just the maximum and isn't reserved (not on newer machines). I'd check what software you have running. For instance, I used to use AVG Antivirus on all of my computers. As it turns out, AVG is VERY resource intensive, so I switched to Avast instead. Try doing a bit of research. Open the Task Manager and go to the "Details" tab to see specifically what's using CPU or memory and look up any questionable applications.

  • Satellite C50-A0G1 - Optical Drive Unpacking - Preparation for Use

  • Satellite 5200-902: Optical drive replacement

    Hi,
    Im trying to replace my Panasonic uj-810 multi-drive with a new Panasonic uj-845 one. The problem is that it does not boot with the drive inserted. If the drive is inserted with windows running, nothing happens until I go and refresh device manager. Then the computer it crashes with a blue screen kernel error type thing....
    If the drive is inserted while Windows is starting up, the whole system crashes without a warning... I should also mention that there is nothing wrong with the drive itself, as it works without a hitch in other computers I tried it in.
    Some help would be appreciated please

    Hello Vano
    The problem is that every drive is not compatible with every unit because of pin assignment. If your new drive is not compatible it can be that your unit crashes at the beginning while windows try to detect all available hardware components.
    I believe you that drive is ok but as I said it is probably caused by compatibility.

  • Optical drive will not eject

    My Satellite A205-S5814 optical drive will not eject when I press the eject button.
    Before this problem started, the drive would eject, but sometimes a blank screen would immediately appear after the tray ejected and then the computer would restart itself and give me the option of restarting in safe mode.
    Please let me know what may be wrong.
    Thanks.

    Your machine is booting into a Windows partition.
    Apple does not support Windows. They do provide "Boot camp" which allows a knowledgeable person to install XP in a drive partition on a Mac.
    However "boot camp" still in "beta" status and some of the keyboard mapping is not the same as a Windows PC, because it's a Mac, not a PC.
    Mac's come with Mac OS X standard, not Windows. The copy of Windows you got on the machine was likely put there for demonstration purposes, not for sale. If you know how to hack Windows, I'm sure you could bypass the admin password, that's a "store trick" to sell a product with a illegal copy of Windows.
    All Mac's will open the c.d. tray if you reboot holding the mouse button down with a wired keyboard.
    You can also reboot again holding "option key" to select a drive partition to boot from, there should be a Mac OS X and a Windows partition, however it's possible the Mac OS X partition was erased.
    You can stick the Mac OS X installer disk in the c.d. tray, close it and reboot holding "c". It will boot off the disk. There you can select Disk Utility from the Installer menu and Erase w/Zero the internal hard drive. When finished Quit and install Mac OS X Tiger. Your "store copy" of Windows will be gone of course.
    If your unfamiliar with Mac's, Mac OS X, "Boot Camp" with Windows, I suggest you have someone help you. Your in very deep too early in your learning curve.
    You'll really need to learn Mac OS X first, then you can play around with "Boot-Camp" and a legal copy of XP in a drive partition.
    With Mac OS X your machine will be very safe from internet threats, but when your in "Boot Camp" under XP, your just like any Windows PC, completely vulnerable.

  • Re: Satellite U300 - Optical drive no longer registers after prog uninstall

    Hi,
    I recently uninstalled a programme for a DV camera on my Satellite U300. After the uninstall, I am no longer able to use the optical drive. If I put a cd/dvd into the drive it will 'fire up' however it will not register with the laptop to enable play. I have tried diagnostics test, but it just skips past optical drive as if it was not there.
    Has the uninstall also removed driver software for the optical drive and, if so, is there anyway for me to recover/download the driver without a full recovery losing all other installs on the machine?
    Any advice greatly received!

    Hi,
    is the optical drive present in the device manager?? If so, then remove it and reboot your machine. After that the drive should be reinstalled automatically.
    If not, then perform a complete registry check with some registry cleaning software.
    Afterwards perform the first step.
    If this does not help, then it would be better to recover your machine..
    Cheers

  • Satellite A20-130: SD R2412 cannot read DVDs burnt in certain optical drives

    Hi,
    I've got a Satellite A20-130 laptop, running WinXP and Ununtu Dapper in a dual partition. My 2nd laptop is not Toshiba one. When I burned DVDs (DVD+R) with my non-Toshiba laptop and played them in my Satellite it all worked fine.
    However, when I bought a new optical drive for my 2nd laptop my Toshiba suddenly stopped playing the DVDs burnt in this new optical drive(I was using exactly the same disc brand and format as before-- DVD+R). I tried the old DVDs (the ones burnt in the laptop before the optical drive hardware was upgraded) and they can still by read perfectly fine.
    This problem applies to both Ubuntu and WinXP. Support from 2nd laptop says this sounds like a firmware problem with my Toshiba. I updated the driver for my SD R2412 Toshiba optical drive (which, according to the file manual, seems to fix a DVD-Ram compatibility issue). Now the drive occasionally reads some of the new burned DVDs (after making loads of noise and waiting for ages), but more often than not I get an error message saying the device cannot be read because the format is incorrect or the device needs to be formatted.
    This non-Toshiba laptop reads the DVDs it burns using the upgraded optical drive perfectly fine.

    Hi
    Satellite A20 is pretty old notebook model and after intensive usage it can be that drive is more sensitive. If all this happen occasionally there is no simply explanation why this happen.
    I know it is pretty annoying but I do not see any magic solution. At the end you must test it with brand new drive.

  • Optical drive stopped showing on satellite p775

    Hi everyone, i have a Satellite P775-s7215 which includes a Blu ray drive that's giving me some problems.
    The optical drive has been disappearing "randomly" from windows and the bios doesn't recognized it either, I say "randomly" because sometimes i get to use it normally and even watch movies.
    When it disappears, it doesn't show up in the bios and neither in the device manager but the drive has power and if I put a disc it tries to read it.
    I have tried running some of the microsoft fixes but the problem persists. One solution that has worked for me (but now has stopped) was removing the battery and press the power on and put the battery back.
    I really don't know what to do and i would appreciate some help before trying something more drastical like changing the drive.
    Best regards, Jose

    Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like a software issue to me. It most likely requires servicing.

  • Optical drive not showing up after installing SSD HD on satellite L75-B7150

    I just installed an ssd drive in my satellite L75-B7150. I had to unscrew the locking screw on the optical drive and slide it out. Now it wont show up in this PC windows 8.1. it does have power and the light led comes on a while with a disk in it but then goes out. It seems to be plugged in ok as far as the power.Could it be a driver problem? there doesn't seem to be any specific drivers for it.The drive probably isn't making contact with the sata connection. Does any one know a trick to putting them in. the optical drive pushes in after the case is snapped together so unsnapping the case wouldn't help me.

    make sure it is selected as the startup disc.    system preferences>startup disc> make sure new hdd is the default startup disc.

  • Satellite M30 Pro: how to change the optical drive?

    Hi there,
    could anybody please give me a hand on changing/replacing the optical drive on my Satellite Pro M30?
    Alas, my drive is a DVD-ROM/CD-RW. I have another one with the capability of burning DVD's (Super-Multi drive from Matsu****a). I just wonder how I could replace them, since it os not possible to easily slide them out?
    Thank you.
    Jan

    Hi
    To remove the optical drive you need only to remove 2 screws which are placed at the bottom of the unit on the drive side. Then you can simply slide outward the drive to disconnect it from the connector on the system board.
    The drive is placed in the plastic frame. So you need also this frame for a new drive.
    To remove the plastic frame from the device you have to remove 4 screws.
    Bye

  • Satellite A660 - Optical Drive Power: OFF

    I have an A660 and I'm trying to make a System Repair Disk but the message "Windows did not find a CD/DVD burner comes up. I also noticed that the icon in the right hand side of the task bar says that the "Optical Drive Power: OFF".
    I'm running Windows 7. I think it may be some power saving setting outside of the eco utility.
    Can someone please offer some help on this it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    This is a strange bug that I have

  • Satellite P20 - Optical Drive doesnt read the disk properly

    Well until the other day the CD-RW/DVD Drive in my Toshiba P20 laptop was working fine. Now however it isnt. Whenever I insert a disk into the drive the mouse turns into a spinning CD to show that it is reading the disk, however it finds no content on whatever disk I insert and it also says there is no disk inserted.
    What should I do?
    Regards
    Martyn

    Hi Martyn,
    Your optical drive is covered by your notebook warranty as long as you do not change or remove it from the notebook.
    The exact terms of your warranty may vary depending on which country you live in and any 'Sale of Goods' legislation that may be in force.
    Typically the standard Toshiba warranty is a 'Return to Base' agreement under which you are responsible for getting the unit to a Service Agent, and also collecting it when it is repaired. However, you may find that the original supplier (the place from where you purchased it) may also be able to arrange the repair for you).
    If you contact the Service Agent they will usually arrange for your notebook to be collected from you, but you will probably be charged for this.
    Best of luck
