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.

  • Installing a Blu-Ray Drive in my Mac Pro...

    I am considering installing a Blu-Ray drive in my second drive location on my mac pro. The drive I am interested in is this one:
    http://www.videoguys.com/bdr202.html
    When I spoke with the gentlemen there, he advised me that he didn't believe it would fit in the Mac Pro. How could that be? Isn't there a standard size for all media drives like DVD, CD, and blu-ray drives? Anyone know for sure if this will fit?

    It is a standard sized drive and WILL fit
    Although you should always be mindful to be sure that you have remove ALL bezels which can interfere with the drive fitting else the drawer mechanism. The easy way to be sure is to make it look exactly like the SuperDrive. The one that is typically missed is the bezel that's right on the end of the drawer. It can be had to spot but it's there.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Do I need an open serial ATA to install a Blu Ray drive?

    I have a mac pro that I wish to add a blu ray internal burner to in my empty bay. However I am using all 4 of my internal Serial ATA slots for 1TB hard drives in each. I was unsure but though I saw you needed one of these to install a BR drive.
    If I do need one of these for this, I could put a 2TB internal HD and free up a slot assumming that the 2TB internal drives exist now, I have not checked.
    I am looking at the Pioneer BDR-205 but am open to suggestions.
    Thanks

    Cool, thank you.
    Somethings just seem to be hard to find out when you don't know where to look

  • Pioneer blu ray drive in mac and with bootcamp??

    Hello everyone. I read a post on this forum about installing a blu ray drive in a mac and it working perfect. Now my question is, will it work if I have bootcamp and switch over to windows XP. Otherwords will the drive work on windows XP on the mac using bootcamp???? thanks

    Windows doesn't recognize the spare SATA ports on the motherboard. So if that is what you were going to use, no.
    There is an article up on http://www.xlr8yourmac.com about how to install a drive in the lower optical bay.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - Can't install Toshiba Power Saver Driver

    Hi, I can't install toshiba power saver driver on my laptop because instalation crashes with error 1610: The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel. I tried more versions of power saver driver. I got latest official chipset driver..Know somebody how to fix that?
    My second problem is with battery, my laptop running on battery for max 10 minutes (i got my laptop 2 years) and i dint using battery supply often. Can battery loose so much capacity in 2 years even if i used to my battery once a week?
    Sorry for english and thx for reply

    I believe you must not install this driver, only Power saver utility only.
    What to say about battery? In my opinion it is possible. In my opinion the battery life time cannot be defined so easy.
    Some batteries run well after 3 years of usage and some of them are death after one year only.

  • Installing a Blu Ray Opitcal Drive in G5

    Hello,
    I've just recently brought a PlayStation 3 and enjoying the Blu Ray goodness! though looking at the Power Mac G5 and its current dvd optical drive i was wondering if i can install a Blu Ray Rewriter in the g5 and whether Leopard and the apple software like FCP, iDVD etc would understand it.
    its cool to see the blu ray rewriter optical drives are quite cheap looking at ebuyer.com there costing from £150 to £280 depending which model you buy.
    is anyone thinking of a blu ray optical rewriter drive?
    thanks, John

  • Install video for internal blu-ray drive

    I just bought an internal LG GGW-H2OL Blu-ray and found a few install instructions on the web that I'm not willing to try (removal of memory cards, getting to the motherboard..etc )
    Can anybody recommend a Blu-ray burner that's plug and play with my Mac Pro ? Installing memory and add't hard drives was a breeze. I was hoping that the blu-ray would be just as easy.
    I loved the lightscribe software that allows me to etch photos onto the disc.
    thanks.

    It's not the optical drive that's hard to install, it's connecting the sata cable to the logic board which is a pita..
    Depending on what MP you have (2006 or 2008), the installs are little easier. The 2008 install is the easiest.
    Here are some vids for reaching the ODD sata port.
    (2008)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfIfHuM9I6g
    (2006) a little more harder, but not really. TIP: you don't really need to remove the fan module, just the top screw. It will give you enough play to insert the sata cord. The vids is not in english, but it doesn't matter, just look at the pics.

  • 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)
    * 10x maximum (writing to CD-RW 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)
    * 24x maximum (reading CD-RW media)
    * 8x maximum (reading DVD-ROM/-R/+R SL media)
    * 6x maximum (reading DVD-ROM/-R/+R DL media)
    * 6x maximum (reading DVD-RW/+RW 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
