This ebay seller apparently has the drives for all HP models...the exact part number you need (depends on whether yours is black or biscotti in color) is in the prior link above.I would contact the seller in advance with a question and be sure he has your exact model as he seems to be selling IDE drives and I am sure yours is a SATA interface.

$139 is not too bad. A Blu-Ray reader with a DVD burner was an option on your laptop series so it can work. You likely will need to add Blu-Ray playback software to watch movies. If you wanted a Blu-Ray burner the answer is even more complex so I hope you only meant you want a drive to watch Blu-Ray movies.

  • Satellite P200-1EE - Can I get a Blu-Ray drive for it?

    At last, Toshiba have joined the BDA!!!!!!
    Does any one know if or when they will release a Blu-Ray drive to replace the HD-DVD drives in a P200-1EE?
    I know this post may be little premature but I have felt betrayed ever since buying the laptop and 3 weeks later Toshiba dropping the HD-DVD format.

    Hi!
    I dont know when Toshiba will release a Bluray drive that you can buy to exchange it with your HD-DVD drive.
    But maybe a drive from another manufacture will also work on your notebook. In your case I would go to the nearest computer shop and ask for such a drive. Maybe you can test it in the shop if it works because not all drives are compatible with all notebooks (e. g. pin assignment).
    Good luck!

  • How to know if my HP Pavilion Notebook can support Super Multi Blue-Ray drive?

    Hi,
    My HP laptop is:
    HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC support
    LM610EA#A2N
    How to know if my HP Pavilion Notebook can support Blue-Ray drive?.
    I need to install a Super Multi Blue-Ray drive, with these capabilites::: read and write all types of disc formats in one convenient package: CD±R, DVD ±R ,  CD±RW, DVD±RW, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM and Blu-ray disc.
    If it can support, then I must purchase HP Blue-ray device, or I can purchase any other brands, such as  LG 16x Internal Blu Ray/DVD/CD Burner Writer Drive + sata data & power cables .
    First of all: my Optical drive is: LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support, and with the capabilities
    hp CDDVDW TS-L633R
    Media Type DVD Writer
    Name hp CDDVDW TS-L633R
    Availability Running/Full Power
    Capabilities Random Access, Supports Writing, Supports Removable Media
    Read capabilities CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW DL, DVD+R DL
    Write capabilities CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL
    Config Manager Error Code Device is working properly
    Config Manager User Config FALSE
    Drive E:
    Media Loaded FALSE
    SCSI Bus 0
    SCSI Logical Unit 0
    SCSI Port 0
    SCSI Target Id 1
    Status OK

    Anyway, Could you please confirm for me this the Maximum resolution of my VGA is 1366 by 768 pixels, and cannot be extended.
    That is correct.  It cannot be extended.  That is the limit for the built-in display.  Using an external display that is capable of higher resolution might help in that matter but then you loose the portability of the laptop.
    I came across a free BluRay player just this week, it is found here. Leawo Blu-ray player: http://www.leawo.org/blu-ray-player/
     It is the only free BluRay player I have found.
    That is about all I can do to help.  The other possibility would be to get an external Bluray drive that can fulfill all your  expectations, give you lightscribe, and possibly a BluRay player included with the purchase.  It would be much less worrisome on your part and there would not be any modifications to the laptop.

  • DVD/CD/Blu-Ray Drive on HP Pavilion DV6 not working....

    HP Pavilion DV6 with Blu-Ray
    The DVD/CD/Blu-Ray drive suddenly stopped popping open or being recognized. I need to double check that there is nothing else I need to try to fix before having to buy a replacement part.
    I've already tried....
    1. reseting my computer back to factory settings (I know I had a virus or malware and then when it died I just decided to set the whole thing, but it didn't fix the dvd drive)
    2. Removed cd. (I had to remove the drive to get the cd out. It was a library cd so I thought that the security strip on it might have caused a problem.)
    After these two things it still isn't working. Everything else is fine. I just want to make sure there is nothing else I need to try or check before buying a replacement part.

    Hi RavenMidnight,
    For the DVD/CD/Blu-Ray drive no longer ejecting, there is not much troubleshooting that you can do to resolve the issue. I have included the document 'Opening a Stuck CD or DVD Drive Tray (Windows 7, Vista, XP)'. This document will show you two ways as a work around for opening the drive. When you do have the drive open, double check to make sure that there are no obstructions in the path of the tray.
    If there are not obstructions, and the tray is still not functioning properly. I have included the document for 'Steps for Removing and Replacing the CD or DVD Drive'.
    Please let me know if any of these steps have resolved the issue, thank you.
    I worked on behalf of HP

  • Can i upgrade to a blu ray drive

    I have a late 07 macbook 13" (white) and have been looking into upgrading the optic drive, since the one in it cant even write dvds. So i pondered why not go all the way and instead of getting an external drive get an internal drive. and on top of that make it blu ray r + rw ive found a couple af resonably priced drives, but now ive come to the Question ,  is it possible to do to my macbook being that it is so old. I am runing lion so im assuming it can read a blu ray disk and burn them but is my computer able to. What do i do i have the know how to install it on my on but i just need a link to an internal blu ray r + rw drive that is compatable with my computer and if there even is one.

    PLEASE HELP ME ALL I WANT IS TO PLAY AND WRITE BLU RAY DISKS ON MY MACBOOK, AND TO KNOW IF I'LL HAVE TO SUCK IT UP AND BUY AN UGLY EXTERNAL BLU RAY DRIVE OR KEEP A NICE CLEAN SLEAK LAPTOP WITH INTERNAL BLU RAY DRIVE!!!

    I don't know if it will work with a 2007 but I do know that the optical drive in it has an IDE interface not a SATA. So any Blu-Ray drive would have to be IDE.

  • Blu Ray drive/burner can't write dual layer DVD - W500 Vista 64

    I recently did a clean Vista 64 Business install on a new hard drive. I pretty much have everything up and going, except the Blu Ray drive doesn't recognize that it can write dual layer DVDs. I ran Nero InfoTool and it, too, tells me that the drive cannot write dual layer DVDs. (Pretty much everything in InfoTool is checked, read and write, except all the HD-DVDs and the dual layer DVD write functions.) Does anyone have any ideas? My understanding is that the drive can write dual layer DVDs.

    I'll answer this with the same information that I posted at TPF:
    From: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70234
    Reads or writes data with speedy maximum data transfer rates of:
    * 16x maximum (writing to CD-R media)

    * 5x maximum (writing to DVD-RAM media)
    * 8x maximum (writing to DVD+/-R media)
    * 4x maximum (writing to DVD+/-RW media)
    * 2x maximum (writing to BD-R/RE SL media)
    * 1x maximum (writing to BD-R/RE DL media)
    * 24x maximum (reading CD-ROM, CD-R media)

    * 5x maximum (reading DVD-RAM media)
    * 2x maximum (reading BD-ROM media)
    * 2x maximum (reading BD-R/RE SL/DL media)
    It appears that DL (dual layer) writing in DVD-R and DVD+R formats is not supported.

  • Can I put Blu-ray drive on Qosmio G30?

    Hi all,
    I have a Qosmio G30-163 with an HD DVD Drive (MATSU****A G8CC00031720) and I am currently in the process of upgrading it.
    I recently bought a 4GB RAM upgrade kit from Crucial (CT2KIT25664AC667) and am looking into further upgrades.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the HD DVD Drive with a Blu-ray drive?
    My research has led me to the Sony Optiarc BC-5500A which I have found has the same height dimension (12.7mm) and also the same interface connector at the rear (E-IDE).
    I have read in the forums that someone has managed to use a similar drive on a Qosmio and that the drive may need to be configured to slave mode as opposed to master.
    If anyone knows if this would work or has any further information I would greatly appreciate it!
    Regards,
    Luke{color}

    Well, I sent the same question to Toshiba Support, and they got back to me the next day - How's that for support!
    What they said was:
    "we think it is likely that the Blu-ray drive would work so long as it physically fits and it has the same adapter. Older systems will require enough graphics processing power to cope with Blu-ray. This system has the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 which should cope with it.
    We cant guarantee that this drive would work but we think it likely that it will but you install it at your own risk.
    Prior to installing more modern hardware it might be wise to check that you have the latest BIOS version."
    This sounds very promising to me, so I am seriosusly considering buying the Blu-ray drive!
    Does anyone have any experience of using Sony Optiarc products?
    Regards,
    Luke

  • External Blu-Ray drive for HP Envy Lightscribe Issues

    My HP Envy 13-1100ea came with an HP external Blu-Ray drive (HP Part No: 538333-001) which identifies itself as an Optiarc  BD ROM BC-5600S. In the HP Envy 13 service manual it mentions this drive as having Lightscribe functionality but I cannot seem to get the drive to be detected by the Lightscribe Control Panel or any Lightscribe labelling software. I have tried installing the Lightscribe software (older version) from the HP product support page as well as the latest software and diagnostic utilities direct from the Lightscribe site but nothing has seemed to work so far. Has anyone had any success burning Lightscribe labels with this drive or have any advice that might get things working? 

    The drive has the following logo on the bottom plate:
    Which looks quite similar to the lightscribe logo, although it's not exactly the same. The HP Envy 13 support page does not contain drivers for the optical drive and I can't seem to find a dedicated support page for the drive itself. I have tried uninstalling the default windows driver which it reinstalls when the drive is plugged in again. As I said before it has been communicated in various place that the drive features lightscribe functionality and I'd be pretty upset if it turns out it doesn't!

  • Satellite L775-119 - Upgrade with blu-ray drive?

    Had my L775-119 for a few weeks, and it's going great, really pleased but am just wondering if it's possible, sometime in the future to upgrade the DVD RW Drive to a Blu ray re-writer?

    Hello
    Im not Satellite L775 owner but I think it should be possible because some L770/L775 models are delivered with blu-ray drive so generally speaking it seems that the notebook support such drives.
    But you can get an exact answer from an authorized service provider. The guys can order a compatible drive for you and install it if you are not familiar with notebook part exchange.
    Do you know how to contact an authorized service provider?

  • Blue-Ray drive in PowerMac 1.8DP

    Hello,
    I'm thinking about replacing the internal DVD burner (an old Pioneer drive) with a new Blue-Ray burner, just for backup purposes, not decoding or watching movies.
    Does anybody have any experiences with the Blue-Ray drives in a PM 1.8DP?
    I know they have the SATA interface, was also thinking about getting a controller card, but which one?
    Thanks in advance,
    Yasmin

    I do the same thing.
    I archive to DVD data and files that  I never want to lose or have corrupted.
    Not all of my backup data is on DVD, but I estimate about 25-30 percent of my data has been burned to disc.
    I am not sure if you can install any ole' internal BLu-ray into the G5.
    It's an issue with the Mac hardware and OS recognizing the drive as a drive for native disc burning.
    Don't quote me on this but the optical drives usually put into PowerMac towers were either made by Pioneer or LG.
    I, also, believe that it has to be a some variant of SuperDrive.
    I am not sure if your PowerMac will see an internal Blu-ray drive or not. Even if it is made by Pioneer or LG.
    You maybe better off with an external, FireWire BLu-ray drive.
    I would recomend ones from OWC ( macsales.com) or from LaCie.
    Good Luck!

  • No eSATA, no USB 3.0, no Blu-ray drive in new MacPro's??

    Did I miss something, I was going thru the specs and about to hit the Buy Now button, but I don't see any support for USB 3.0 and no option to add a Blu-ray drive?? Does anyone who plans to use a new MacPro work in something less than HD video? I can't remember the last time I burned a DVD.
    For a base price of $5000 for 12 core, I kinda expected BD and USB 3.0 and eSATA. I know Intel server class motherboards (which is what Apple use) have USB 3.0. So I'm assuming the lack of BD drive and USB 3.0 is because of OS X limitation and not the hardware? But why no eSATA?
    Is this the same deal as with my 2007 MacPro where the eSATA exist but I have to get a cable and backing plate to use them? As it stands right now my 2007 MacPro using eSATA BD drive is more capable than a New MacPro??
    Please tell me I'm wrong? Can anyone clarify?
    Thanks, Rob.

    Tom,
    Interesting -- I can see why BD was left out in OS (no secret Mr. Jobs hates Sony royalties), but not necessarily why it was left out as an optional drive (we have other software that can deal with BD authoring/burning). Like it or not, BD is here to stay and can't be ignored forever, it's a matter of fullfilling a consumer choice (regardless of Mr Job's feelings towards it).
    Makes sense now that you've said the motherboard didn't get updated ... in motherboard terms staying with a 1+ year older motherboard in a new 2010 MacPro is definitely not ideal. Motherboard changes come out almost every 3 months to accomodate new onboard components.
    I'm a fan of onboard hard wired components vs. plug-in card connections when it comes to data transfer specifications (like eSATA, USB 3.0, etc.) just because hard wire provides a better electrical connection.
    May have to sit this update out until the motherboard gets updated. True, I could get USB 3.0, and eSATA with expansion cards ... but I've got plans for those slots and can't really spare them just for data transfer use ... onboard solution would have been much better for me.
    Maybe all the Apple engineers were working on the iPhone 4 --- doooh!! Lets hope NOT!
    Glad they offer ATI 5870, I have two of these in a Windows PC and they are very nice cards -- but noisey when pushed hard. Lets see how they work with Cinema 4D and Motion 4.
    Apple's memory out to lunch but their SSD 512GB are actually pretty close to industry prices -- I always start with stripped base unit and get components from NewEgg for 1/3 of the price (in most cases).

  • X200/201 Ultrabase Blu-Ray drive

    Does anybody know if Lenovo made a Blu-ray drive for the X200/X201 Ultrabase?
    I can't find one on the UK website, but a search on the web finds an old writer that cost £700.
    I am only needing a ROM not a writer.

    If you get a lenovo one, I would recommend FRU P/N: 45N7459 (aka Panasonic UJ242).
    I am pretty sure the Panasonic UJ232A came before the Panasonic UJ242.
    When I bought my Thinkpad x201 + Ultrabase x200 the BluRay Burner was listed as an option for the Ultrabase x200, but Lenevo did not have it available for purchase at the time. I did find a new BluRay Burner on a different website at purchase time for the Ultrabase x200. It cost a 1000 dollars. I did not buy the Burner for 1K.
    However, I recently got a Panasonic UJ242 with Lenovo's name on it, and the part number above is correct.
    If you want to look beyond the part number, I know that Dell has at least one model laptop with a Panasonic Drive that meets the height requirements, and Sony has at least one model laptop with a Panasonic Drive that meets the height requirements. However, the shape of the drive door for a Dell laptop or a Sony laptop may not meet the requirements for the Ultrabase x200.
    I am not saying that the Panasonic UJ232A will not work, but I do not know where to get the proper BD-R media for it. I would guess a blank Philips BD-R disk would work based on the fact that a blank Philips DVD+R worked.
    Happy Hunting.
