Combo drive doesnt work, looking for replacement
I have a Satellite 2410-304 witch has a combo drive Teac DW-224E what doesnt work propertly. I have decided replacing for another new brand one.
How can I replace my old combo and install the new one?
Hi
As far as I know you have to remove on screw which is placed at the bottom on the unit on the right side. Then it should be possible to pull out of the unit.
But Im not a technician and I cant say you the detailed procedure.
In this case I would recommend to contact the service partner for a replacement because he has more experience in such cases.
Bye

Combo drive stopped working, and not recognised
I know there has been a few post about the combo drive stopping working on the PowerBook.
I have not dropped the machine, and it has had no accidents. Was wondering if anyone had any advise as to what to try to trouble shoot this problem, or is it more than likely a hardware fault?
Many thanks in advance and Happy Holidays.
RichardI have a powerbook g4 just bought a few months ago from a friend. I have always a pc guy, and use to work on Macs (desktop publishing) but was more into the gaming for fun. Well, I as I mentioned I bought this powerbook G4 for a good price (so I thought) and after a few months the combo drive stopped functioning properly, then it died completely. I brought to a certified Mac repair center and was astounded at the cost to replace was going to be, it was between $400 and $500.00. This blew me away, I have to replace DVD Burners on PC's in past and it cost me about $40.00. I tried, and the key word was tried to contact someone at Apple through email and never got a response. I finally called over the phone and was told it would cost about over $500.00 to repair. Well, I guess I am going to stay a PC guy, was actually considering one of the new IMacs, but it most likely will cost a lot of money to do any repairs on it, it looks like it has similar drive. FU Apple!

Ibook g3 combo drive not working
I have a 500 mhz Ibook G3 with a non working combo drive. I went and replaced it with a new combo drive. The new combo drive didn't work either, so I dug deeper. When I checked out the "about this Mac" drop down , I saw that the combo drive doesn't appear at all. I also cannot eject/open the CD drawer. If I manually open the drive I can't get a disc to play or even spin. So I an assuming that it is a power to the drive issue. Any ideas? Do I need a new ribbon cable or is it a software thing? I'm running 10.4.11.
Thanks
TomYou may have gotten another drive that was faulty.
I don't think it's the cable because the iBook G3 uses a single cable for the hard drive and the optical drive, using a Master/Slave configuration. So if your hard drive is working, the optical drive should work, too, unless it's not connected properly.
Did you use iFixit's guide to install it?
It sounds like hardware, not software. -

Have you done:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
What results do you get when you run this:

Do both the Home button and Power button work OK normally? -
Here Drive stuck on 'Looking for GPS"
Running version 3.0.4087.0 on Samsung Ativ S (in Canada). Nokia Drive seems to find my location without any issues for a short period of time. Later when launching it just shows "Looking for GPS" in the status bar and cannot find my location at all.
Location services are turned on for the phone and the app. All other mapping apps on the phone (including Here Maps) find my location very rapidly.
Yesterday I tried uninstalling and re-installing Here Drive but the "Looking for GPS" error is back again today.Yup, me too. I love the Here Drive (on my Lumia 810), and it's been working perfectly well until last week. Now it's stuck on looking for GPS and showing as start location the place I was last week when I used it the last time.
Please, need to get this fixed! Nokia MAPs work just fine but not HERE Drive.
I have latest updates on both the phone and my Here drive. I uninstalled the app, and re-loaded it yesterday from the app store. Same thing again. Thought it may be due to being inside of the building, went out, changed locations, drove a bit and nope still not working. It's stuck. I've left it running for more than an hour and no luck what so ever.
A colleague with Lumia 920 has the same problem.
Not question of having a case covering the antennas either, his does not have a case, I took mine off the case, and the result is still the same, looking for GPS.
Please get this fixed ASAP!

Can I use a 60watt t adapter with my 2011 mac book pro 13"? I have the L adapter now, but looking for replacement that will last!
Yes, a 13" non-Air model requires a minimum of 60 watts, so you will be fine. If it is a 2011 or earlier model, the connector is the regular MagSafe, whereas this year's models use the MagSafe 2 that is different.

My dvd drive doesnt work, and i want to format the HD, any ideas??? i have an external dvd drive but it doesnt recognice it when i want to install the OS,
... Maybe someone can tell me how. ThanksTime to take your disc and your computer to an Apple Store or an AASP, I'm afraid. They should be able to reinstall the OS, etc. Have no idea what they would charge but I'm sure that it would not be too expensive.

My flash drive which worked fine for 2 years crashed
I have a 32G flash drive which worked fine for 2 years. Then the Disk Utility says it needs repairing but the repair command is disabled.
So I transferred the entire content of the drive to another drive .
Now I want to reformat the drive that needed repair and hopefully save keep it as a spare drive. Somehow I don't know how to format it and I'm too lazy to drag up my PC and do it there.
How do I format it straight from my Macbook Air.
Thanks

Looking for replacement internal hard drives for a MacPro
Looking to replace internal hard drives in a MacPro. Was thinking about 3TB. Any recommendations?
Look in System Report for the link speed available. (Mine says 3 Gigabit.) Get drives with at least that speed; going beyond that won't get you any more performance.

Looking for replacement DIN cable for FPS2000
So my FPS 2000 has served me well, and is in good working order. However, the long extention DIN male - male cable that came with the unit was damaged in a recent move. This is the long cable used to connect the FPS2000 to the small DIN to Digital cable that plugs into the SBLive! card in my PC.
Anyone know how I can buy a replacement? Or have the specs on the cable so I can build one?I'm also looking for that cable, mine got lost when i moved.
If you still have the damaged cable you could get the pinout using a tester or something, so that a new one can be built -
IPhone 5 sleep/wakes button doesnt work, can I replace it?
Hi everyone.
I have an iPhone 5 16gb purchased in US in March 2013, now I see that sleep/wake button doesnt work. Searched on web and found out that is an hardware issue, and booked a meeting to Apple store. I think they will replace it, but the problem which may me doubt is that the iphone is bought in US from my friend, and now I live in Netherlands.
On Monday i will go in Apple store but not sure what will happen, ideas?iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake Button Replacement Program

Not sure if your phone is eligible for this program, give it a try to find out!! Mine is eligible.
Good luck !! -
Combo drive not working correctly AppleCare Question
If I decide to take the system to my Genius Bar will Labor part of replacing the current drive with a superdrive be covered by my AppleCare Plan? Also is there anyway for me to know the price of a superdrive at the Stamford CT Apple Store?
if your combo drive has suffered a manufacturers defect then your combo drive would be covered if you are within your applecare coverage period. There are no upgrades.

New DVD CD combo drive wont work.
Ok, I just installed a 8221A combo drive (manuf. 10-2006) into my ibook and tried it in my mini also, and in both computers it powers and spins, but wont read or eject (just spins, no respose to anything). I had a 8123C (01-2005) and it worked fine in both computers. do I have to update drivers or will this drive not work at all in my setups?
I am replacing the cdrom in the ibook, so I plan on putting the new drive in the mini and the old one in the ibook, as it is harder to pull apart than the mini.
BTW, firmware in the ibook is 4.2of4 and the mini shouldn't need any update as it's new in 07/05.sold it
