Satellite 1410-902: How to remove a HDD

Hi. Does anyone know how to remove a HDD from a Toshiba Satellite 1410-902?
Opening the panel there it is the HDD, but there is no clear way to get it out...I don't want to force.
Thanx for the help.
Luca.

Hi
The HDD slot is placed at the bottom of the unit. You have only to remove the screw which secures the slot cover. Then you can simply remove the HDD.
But be careful.

Satellite P10-804: How to remove the HDD?

I'd like to remove the 60Gb internal hard drive from my satellite P10-804 and replace it with a bigger drive, but cannot figure out how to get inside the case to remove the HDD.
Does anyone have details on how to do this?

Hi
In my knowledge the HDD must be placed under the optical dirve.
To remove the HDD, first remove the battery pack and optical drive, then follow the steps below:
1. Remove four black screws securing the aluminum shield covering the HDD and lift it out.
2. Gently pull the HDD toward the computers front panel to disconnect it from the system board, then lift it out.
3. Remove the four silver screws that secure the HDD case to the HDD.
But be careful. If you have no experiences ask someone with more experience in such replacements.

S35dvd: How to remove the HDD?

Can anyone tell me how to remove a hard drive from a s35dvd please? I can not find a service manual anywhere and I need to remove the drive to try to remove a load of viruses that i can't remove with windows running or even in safe mode.
Thanks

Hi
Unfortunately this Toshiba unit it unknown to me and I dont have found any officials documents about the HDD replacing.
But as far as I know there should be only 2 possibilities how to remove the HDD.
1.) The HDD slot is placed at the bottom of the unit and you need to remove only the HDD cover.
Or
2.) The HDD is placed in the notebook. In this case you have to remover the keyboard and some covers to replace the HDD
Well, I can give you only this info. I think if you want to know the detailed instruction you should contact the Toshiba service partner because he has a more detailed informations about such cases.

How to remove the HDD passwordon Portege R500?

Hello,
do you know how to remove HDD password? I know current password, but if I try to remove it by changing from current password to blank password it doesn't work.
There is still current password.
Thanks

Hi
I hope you are using the correct and right HDD password because its needed to remove and to delete the existing HDD password.
If you would forget the HDD password then the HDD would be locked and you would be not able to unlock the HDD!!!
Generally the HDD password can be deleted in the BIOS.
Please ensure that other password would be removed too.
I found a useful forum thread about a similar HDD password issue:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=66386&#66386
According to the info posted by user jonr17 you should firstly ensure that all other passwords like BIOS, User and Supervisor passwords are removed.
Then try to remove the HDD password from the BIOS.

Satellite A200-10X: How to partitioning the HDD

Hi there guys!
I have a pro with my satellite A200-10X, it has only one HDD volume, and i want to make them two... and everytime i use the product recovery CD, it formats the HDD... but i do not know how to partition the HDD two get two volume spaces...
and whats worse is that when i keep on doing that over and over it eats the HDD free space... so how can i partition the HDD and recover the 200GB space the computer originally have?
i appreciate your help ..
thanx

Hello Sherif
If you use delivered recovery media you have follow options:
1. the whole HDD capacity can be used for partition C
2. the HDD capacity can be split and you can create two partitions
When you use both options Vista will create 1,4 GB partition but this partition will not be visible when you use OS.
If you want to have two partitions (C and D) start recovery procedure and after choosing the language use SETUP button on the right side. In the middle of the screen occurs small window and there you can set how much capacity should be reserved for partition C. when the recovery procedure is finished and Vista starts open Computer Management.
On the left side choose Disk Management. After doing this on the left side you will see partition marked as black. This is second partition but still not visible. Click there with right mouse button and choose option to create logical drive. Follow the setup procedure.
After few steps this partition will be set as logical drive and after formatting it will be visible in Vista Explorer.
If you have more questions please post again.

Satellite Pro A120: How to remove the CD/DVD drive

I have 2 main problems and can't seems to fully open case.
Does anyone know how to remove the dvd-rom?
But my mainproblem is the power swith ribbon (blue) has come loose from the motherboard. But as i can't fully open the case im using tweezers to try to recconect it.
Doesn't seem to want to go in.
Is there a clip on the motherboard connector or is it just push in? A photo or diagram would be useful.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

One question; why do you do this?
I mean why your want to open the notebook?
Fact is that the Pro A120 Satellite is not a old notebook and I presume the warranty is valid.
If you remove the notebook covers you will lose the warranty!!!
The CD/DVD removing is very easy.
Usually it is secured with one screw which can be found at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove it firstly and then it should be able to take off the ODD.

Satellite Pro 4260: How to remove the DVD drive?

I have a Satellite Pro 4260 and it appears that the DVD drive is broken and I want to replace it. I cannot figure out how to remove the old one.
Does anyone know how? Is there a manual available showing how?
Thanks

Hi
This notebook is not know to me but a checked some sites in the net and it seems that the top cover must be removed.
Then lift up the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to disconnect PJ700 on the CD-ROM/DVD board from PJ15 on the system board.
Remove two screws securing the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board.
Separate the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector brace from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
Well, I think its not easy for someone with no experience.
Therefore if you dont know how to do it and you have no much experience you should ask someone how knows what to do ;)

Satellite 1410-902: Which DVD drives are compatible?

My CD in Toshiba s1410-902 is broken and I would like to change it to DVD reader or DVD recorder. The problem is, that not all IDE CD/DVD drives will work with this Toshiba. BIOS accepts only definite drives some of manufacturers, but I don't know which one.
Where can I find the coplete list of copmatible DVD drives for this model of Toshiba?

Hi
If you will buy a drive for your notebook you have to check the physical size of the drive.
The drive settings (master/slave/csel) are very important because you cannot reset these settings like on the normal desktop PC drive.
I have found this CD-RW/DVD-Rom combo drive: P000352490
This drive should be compatible with Satellite 1410.
But of course, you can contact the ASP in your country if you want to order supported parts.

Satellite P305-s8842: How do the 2 HDDs work together?

I have the Satellite P305-s8842, it comes with dual 200 gig HDD's.
I was wondering how they work together. The main one is almost full; when it fills all the way up will it automatically start filling the second HDD?
Right now there are only two files on the second one they are a temp folder and a msdia80.dll file.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks for the reply

Anyway, I don't really understand how it's supposed to be used. Please don't flame, I am pretty proficient with computers but this is the first one that I've had that has two hdd's. Just trying to understand how they work together. Thanks.

Satellite A300-1J1 - How to install 2nd HDD?

Hello
I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the specifications that is possible to add a 2nd hdd. So I bought one and when I opened the hdd box, I didn't find a connector to connect to my hdd. I think I must install a SATA connector but I didn't find any way to proceed.
Thanks
PS : Excuse me if you find mistakes, I doesn't speak very well

Hello
Thans for your answers.
Here is the link http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=1 056110
By the way, I'll take a photo to show you the box, maybe the connector is inside but I didn't notice it.
Thanks
PS : they changed specifications of the product, removing "box for 2nd hdd". You can see on this site, for example, and for french speakers http://www.ldlc-pro.com/fiche/PB00075521.html that they say "hdd 250 go + box for a 2nd hdd"

Tecra R10 - How to remove the HDD?

Is there a description available hoe to remove a harddisk in a Tecra R10 and plugin a new harddisc?

Hi buddy,
As far as I know the HDD is placed under the notebook cover and therefore a lot of parts must be removed like CD drive, keyboard, base assy, etc.
In my opinion its a tricky procedure and should only be done from a notebook technician because a lot of screws must be removed as well.
Is current HDD defective or why you want to exchange it?

Satellite 5205-S505 - How to remove battery with damaged battery latch?

I try to set apart my notebook(satellite 5205-s505) today. But I found the release latch had been damaged somehow. What can I do?
my lcd serious damaged. Can I have method to shut down the lcd to save power (just use external moniter)?

This with battery is very good question. I believe you are the first one who asked this.
If you cannot remove it the only way is, I believe, to disassemble whole notebook and somehow make the battery free.
When you use external monitor you should use FN+F5 key combination and switch to external monitor only. Notebooks LCD will be OFF.
You can also check advanced display settings. Usually there you can also find settings to define where the desktop should be shown.
Check it out!

Satellite R630-14J -How to remove keyboard?

Hi there
I have bought a Toshiba Satellite R630-14J, and i would like to remove de keyboard for clean it.
I have tried to remove the plastic case between the keys, but I have not succeeded.
Any Ideas would be appreciated.

>i would like to remove de keyboard for clean it.
In my opinion its not necessary to remove the keyboard in order to clean it.
First of all its possible to remove the single keycaps. In case you would not be able to remove dirt, you could remove the keycap firstly. But be careful...
In your case I would use a cotton wool tip and some drops of alcohol in order to clean the keyboard

Satellite E55-A5114 How to remove rear cover?

This notebook is a pandora's box. The rear cover, which is the entire backside of the notebook, has 12 screws. Removing those twelve screws seem to offer no opportunity to easy the back panel off. It's on there extremely tight. (Congrats to the Toshiba engineers for quality engineering). Toshiba currently doesn't have a manual of disassemble nor will they probably ever offer one. I really would like to keep this notebook. I know it's like a rude attempt at coping an Apple Macbook Pro but nonetheless its a marvel of engineering and beauty. Anyone know the sequence of procedures to open this bad boy up. My SSD can't wait any longer.

Thats a total Crock, I have a P-70 Sattleite and it says for all other models, I hope it means for the E 55 because for the P70, there were just 2 screws I had mine off and the new SSD in about 5 minutes, I'm a sys admin, so it wasn't that hard. They ususally have the instructions in the PDF for your model. Which is good, because old Toshiba ones they used to not. One thing which I have found I don't like sent mine back to Toshiba and even told them I would pay for the upgrade. I cannot stand the Intel Wi-fi, one I don't care about Widi, I bought my laptop for gaming, not widi. I had to go as so far as to drill a whole and run a cat 5e cable to my router to have a direct connection. I would have paid easily for the upgraded wi-fi card different from intel of course, the only good things they make are CPUs and mother boards, Please stay away from Wi-fi. They have a spat going on between Microsoft and Intel, on a re-oredering issue that causes the PC to drop wifi connections for no reason. If I knew that. I would have gotten a diffeent maker, definalty different card. Intel says its fixed waitinng on a fix from Microsoft guess that will come out in windows 9. Sad thing, I had a Toshiba with I7 with 8 gigs and a SSD, and a great video card, my P70 is a I7 with 16 gigs of ram and 2 gigs of seperate ram for the video card and a SSD, which should stomp my old laptop. Speed wise it does, but at least my old one worked and had no problems. This one, SMH everyday.
