Satellite 1410 dvd rom / cdrw combo replacement procedure

How do you replace the dvd/cdrw combo drive in a Satellite 1410?
There is only one visible screw on the bottom that is fastened to the drive.
I also removed the hard disk and battery, and the other covers on the bottom and did not find any other screws.
I removed the keyboard and did not find any additional visible screws that hold in the cd drive.
Does anyone know the removal procedure, or have a link to a maintenace manual?

Toshiba doesn't make maintenance manuals available to anyone other than ASPs.

DVD ROM/CDRW on same channel, no worky

I have a CD-RW (set as SLAVE) and a DVD Rom (set as MASTER) connected to IDE2. Only the DVD is reading media. If I remove the DVD and make the CDRW master, it will then read media. The device manager shows no problems with either device. They work fine independently, just not on the same IDE channel.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the tip.
Both devices work fine on seperate channels.
I've switched my drives' master/slave jumpers back and forth. I've replaced the IDE cable. Checked the BIOS and the Device Manager and there were no conflicts or problems in general. Windows does see both drives (as location 1 and 0). However the CDRW will not read media as either a slave or a master on the same channel as the DVD Rom. The DVD on the other hand can read in either state. Would there be any reason my CDRW wants full priority perhaps? I'm drawing a blank. Oh and the CDRW is a Lite On 40125s

DVD-ROM not recognised with M/S setting

Hello, I just purchased a SD-R2412 DVD-ROM drive to replace my defunct drive (same model). However, my old drive was CSEL type and this new one is M/S. I didn't know there was differences within same models. This new drive is not recognized by Windows XP (SP2) and the second IDE controller disappear. Also, it is not possible to boot from CD, so I guess the BIOS is not recognizing the drive either.
I've seen some discussion regarding the reverse (old M/S, new CSEL) and some solutions for that case, but I haven't seen any comments on my problem.
My guess is that the drive is configured as slave and the BIOS is unable to recognize it in this position. If so, the question would be if there's a way to configure the M/S drive to act as a master.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hello
It will be very interesting to know, which Toshiba unit you have. As far as I know the drive is already set to slave but I dont now about exactly position of the jumper. Nevertheless take a look on the label which is on the drive. There you can find a picture how to set the little jumper to master or slave.
Best regards

How to replace CD/DVD-Rom on Satellite Pro 2100

Hello,
My dvd-rom drive in the laptop is old and broken, now I have here a another dvd-rom drive but I don't know how to remove the old dvd-rom without removing all parts of my laptop. Is there some service manual how to replace the dvd-rom drive?

Hi
Im not 100% sure about the CD/DVD drive replacement on this notebook but I assume the procedure is very similar to another notebooks drives.
Mostly the ODD is secured with the one screw at the bottom of the unit.
You will have to remove this screw to pull out and to swap the drive.
But be careful and dont do it if you have no experience!!!
By the way, not all drives are compatible and supported because of the master/slave/c-sel settings. If you dont know what drives are compatible you should ask the ASP in your country for a advice!!!

Replacing a DVD-Rom on a satellite S1410-S104

Can anyone advise me on how to replace the DVD-Rom on my SAT S1410 with a DVD\CD-RW.
I had hoped it would simply be a case of unclipping something and it would slide out like many other laptop models, but as yet I can't get the old dvd-rom out.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Scott

In fact you have a screw on bottom side of your satellite, but you have to remove the keyboard to have access to another screw. To remove the keyboard you must pull the plastic sheet on the top of keyboard, when you do that you see another tree screws, you must remove this screws and lift the keyboard.
And finally you see another screw who fix the CD drive to the chassis, remo9ve the screw pull the drive out and replace the drive, mount everything and voil.
Not easy but ...

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.

SD-2212 Drive doesnt read some DVDs - Satellite 1410

Hello every1,
I have Satellite 1410-604 for more than 2 years, with forementioned combo drive...
It serves me well, except that it doesnt read some of the types of dvd-medias, and I use only high quality Verbatim dvds...
It only happens in last few months. It is not my primary computer but it is at use in my home, and it really bugs me that when my sister or father takes the new Sattelite Pro A60 on the road(its battery is better) I cant use latest discs on this one. So if there is some firmware upgrade, cause i cant find it on this site...
Thanks in advance...

Hi
I dont think that the firmware update will solve this issue because this driver has recognized this DVDs a few times ago.
Furthermore I dont found any firmware for this drive on the Toshiba website.
But check if the drive removing procedure will solve this problem. So for this please go to device manger and remove the drive. After new booting the OS should recognize the drive again
Bye

Dvd Rom Drive in a Satellite 4030 cds???

I have an old Toshiba Satellite 4030 cds.I would like to know if i am able to install a dvd rom drive into this laptop. If yes which models would fit this machine.
Thank You
PB

Hi Breck,
in my opinion there is no way to upgrade the internal CD Drive to a DVD Drive because the CD Drive is fixed mounted and could only replaced by the same model!
Only an external solution like USB or PCMCIA would fit!
Sorry!
Rudi

Satellite M30X: DVD/CD rom drive does not work

Hi,
Hope someone can help. The above drive will not now recognise any inserted media. It whirrs for a while then stops. I have cleaned the lens and also run through the support and diagnostic tests and they cannot help me any further.
I have also reinstalled the driver but no joy.
Does this mean a new DVD/cd drive is required?
Is it removable from the laptop and easily replaced?
Where would i get the part - M****a DVD ROM UJ- 82OS ?
How much would this cost?
Thanks to all for any suggestions???
Jim

Hi,
I had the same problem as you and I had to send mine for repair and they replaced it for me. My drive, same model as yours would not burn DVD's.
Installing is quite easy:
I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE
1. Turn the unit up-side down
2. Remove every screw except the one securing the Hard-Drive, Memory Module and the one under the battery.
3. Now get a Pin or a Straightened out Paper-Clip and push the Pin/Paper-Clip into the small hole of the DVD-Driveand slowly pull the drive out.
4. Nearly there, Now you need to put your new DVD-Drive upside down because you have the unit is upside down as well.
5. Once you have done that, you need to put all the screws back in place.
6. DONE!
Hope this helps

CDRW/DVD Rom drive disabled by Panther

Looks like same problem as dozens of others, but no answers. After upgrading to 10.3.9 the Sony CRX820E is hiding. Toast titanium says "no CD Recorder found" CD's show up in finder but not DVD's. (it is a DVD Rom drive)
Anyone find a fix for this recurring problem or do we just write it off to "progress"?

The entire computer is 6 years old almost 7, and it worked fine until recently.
Maybe its to do with the new power supply I put in, I put a 750 watt power supply in to replace my 250 watt, because I recently got a new graphics card.
the power supply is plugged in correctly, and my system tells me the drive is there, it just won't read DVD discs.
I'll give a run down of how putting the new power supply in went:
1) I found out that the plug I would need for my floppy drive was required by my new graphics card, so I took the IDE cable out of the Floppy drive and motherboard, and plugged the power supplies plug into the graphics card.
2) After a problem with my computer not being able to find either the DVD Writer or CD drives, I found the problem was a loose IDE cable, which I promptly put back in place, then my computer was able to find the drives.
3) Afterwards I changed my BIOS a little, I changed it so it wouldn't try to find a Floppy drive, and changed the sequence of booting the system from having the floppy drive boot first to the DVD/CD drives boot first.
4) I started up my system and popped in a disc for a game, 3 different times the drive refused to work, 3 different times I found a solution that got it to read the disc, then afterwards if I put a different disc in it wouldn't work, and the fix wouldn't work a second time.
I hope this helps answer me, but here is another question. Can a device be plugged in to any IDE port on the motherboard? If so, is it possible using the IDE cable to plug the DVD drive into the port the Floppy drive was plugged into might help?

T42 DVD/CDRW Combo drive not reading CDs. System Folder Icon changes. XP Pro SP2.

Device manager shows correctly 'Ma**bleep**a UJDA755zDVD/CDRW'.
System Folder icon shows 'DVD/CD-RW Drive (D'
If I insert a CD, the System Folder icon changes to 'CD-ROM' and displays 'Please insert a disk into drive D:'
If I insert a DVD, the System Folder icon changes to 'DVD-ROM' and displays 'Please insert a disk into drive D:'
Am able to burn a CD, but as shown above cannot read. Disabling the drive in device manager, rebooting and re-enabling will make drive read once, rebooting again and it cannot read.
Using RegEdit to remove LowerLimit and UpperLimit does not help.
Have updated drive to latest firmware and run (to no avail) Microsoft AutoRun fix.
Drive works flawlessly under Ubuntu 8.04.1, seems to be an XPP registry issue, but where?
Lost at this point, would appreciate any pointers...

I am having the exact same issue with a brand new T400. When I insert a CD or DVD into the drive, no spin up occurs. When I double click on the DVD-ROM/CD drive in My Computer, Windows tells me to insert a disc.
I've disabled the Automatic Power Savings for the optical drive. I've also installed the latest firmware and made the regedit changes suggested by Microsoft (UpperFilter/LowerFilter).
I can't determine whether this is a software bug or hardware failure. Does anyone have any insight?

Replaced DVD-ROM with 18x MCE Superdrive. Will not complete a DVD burn!!!!

updating my gigabit ethernet dual 450 G4 powermac. swapped out the original dvd-rom drive with an 18x SuperDrive from MCE. Running Panther 10.3.9 with all updates. Machine has upgraded 120GB hard drive, 512 RAM.
Driver loads from MCE install disc. Using Toast 7.1.2 to burn a data DVD-R using automatic "best speed" setting. Drive revs up and "writing lead-in" appears in Toast window, but no blue in the progress bar. Toast then says :Writing disc", and displays a time (usually 1:40), but does not count down. Eventually, the drive becomes silent and the burning process just hangs there. I've let it hang for about an hour. Tried burning a DVD-R with 20MB data, up to a disc with 2GB data, and same thing happens. I then abort the burning process, having to Force Quit 5 times to close Toast, then restart. OS prompt appears as Toast opens, saying "disc contains no volumes blah blah, eject, ignore etc). I eject the DVD-R and ALWAYS on the write surface, there is about a 1/2" of data that appears to be written, but the disc is obviously unreadable. I have wasted 7 out of the 10 free DVD-Rs that came with the MCE drive. Used PatchBurn 3 and it says drive is already supported. System Prof says burning is "vendor supported".
Tech support on the phone asked about master/cable settings. Superdrive is master (as was original DVD-Rom I removed), and I kept intact the Zip 100 drive underneath, which has no jumper plug on either of the 3 sets of jumper pins.
I ran the burning process: 1.) with Zip Drive unplugged from shared cable, SuperDrive still set to master. 2.) with Zip drive connected and set to slave, SuperDrive still as master.
Same burning problem with Toast 7.1.2 as well as the older 6.0 version.
I managed to however burn a CD-R of data in both Toast versions, and disc burning appears to be supported in the iTunes burning preferences.
What else. The drive is listed in Toast as DVD-RAM. And apparently tech support has told me this is an LG 18x SuperDrive, and I was instructed to load the driver from the install disc for 20x SuperDrive. The driver froom the 18x install disc (the obvious one I thought, since it is an 18x burner), did not enable burning according to System Profiler and iTunes. I used PatchBurn 3 to create a driver successfully, but had the same burning problem.
I'd rather find some answers here, than have to call MCE support in Irvine California and use up minutes on my cell!!!
Please, help. I'm sure I can send the drive back to macmall.com. Can anyone recommend a SuperDrive that will actually work in my G4 Dual 450?
Thank You!!
marc

Today I bought that very same model LG - branded, black front from a local PC retailer. It was cheap, bulk without any package or cables,in fact it was only 5 Euros more than a CDRW...
Apple System Profiler says : DVD-RAM GSA-H55N, vendor Aopen/LG, atapi , firmware id : 1.03 , internal disk id : 0.
I have a copy of Toast Titanium 6.05 -> upgraded for free at Roxios website to 6.1.1 and succes - I have burned a 550 MB CD-R with Toast under my beloved Jaguar OS 10.2.8 at full speed settings in virtualy no time ;.)
I am bidding on ebay right now for a copy of Apples ilife (2003) which contains idvd3, the only version which will run on my specs.( idvd4 is some 700Mhz minimum ) . I will try tomorrow how about patchburn in the Jaguar edition will make this drive compatible with Finder's or itunes burn buttons.
Anyway, Toast 6 seems to be able to do the job, and it can make DVDs and Video-/ Picture and what not else CDs too. I did not doctor with the speeds settings, I left all to "best possible" and it burnt in very little time a disc I can read on my Tiger Mac too.
The G4 PCI tower ( 1999 - 2000 ) is built on around the same mainboard as the blue/white G3, it has internal 100 MhZ IDE-bus, so it works even this old and I would expect any G3 tower wo also support that combination of Software/OS/Burn Apps. Those old machines can do wonders, let alone you need the Software from back when it was "High-End". - Of course I could put Tiger and ilife 06 on it, but then it would get ridiculous slow and unproductive.
Just my few first opinions with the all new Burner in the oh so old machine

Satellite L505D-S5983 - CD/DVD-ROM issue

Hello.
I have a Windows 7 Home Edition laptop that will not boot from the CD-DVD-ROM drive. Under normal circumstances, I know that if the boot order is right, the computer should automatically boot from the CD. However, it instead refuses to acknowledge any bootable disks I have in there at all. I have tried from Super Fdisk bootable CD to Linux Mint 9 Live boot CD version i386. My computer seems to just skip over the CD_ROM entirely and immediately boot from the hard drive.
However, it can still read CDs and DVDs perfectly. I have no problem burning items on a CD or pulling items off. I also have no problem playing games or movies that require a CD or DVD.
Solutions I have attempted:
Changing the boot order. Nothing changed.
Creating new CDs. Nothing Changed.
Gently cleaning the drive. Nothing changed.
Pressing the left and right arrow keys during the POST. Though it did throw me into the screen in which I choose what I want to boot, my only option was Windows 7 in the end.
Checking the Device Manager. My drive is working perfectly according to my computer.
Changing drivers. Updating wasn't possible as I already had the latest drivers, rolling back wasn't an option because there wasn't anything to roll back to, and disabling and enabling changed nothing.
Is there anything else I can do? I'm trying not to buy a new drive, as I'm short on money. I'll do it if I have to, but if I don't have to...
Thanks for any help or advice.

You might try reflashing the BIOS.

Satellite A200-23P - DVD-rom mechanic not working

I am sorry for my English in advance this topic! - Thanks
I have very big problem with my DVD writer (rom).
I bought SAT A200-23P three weeks ago.
The OS Win VISTA was installed. DVD-rom worked good.
If I installed Win XP to second partition on my HDD (before I make install disc with driver for sata disc in nlite) and installed all drivers and utilities for Toshiba notebook, I found that my DVD-rom does not respond while I press eject button.
DVD mechanic does not respond for eject in the XP and not even in BIOS!
Interesting is, DVD mechanic is detecting in BIOS, is detecting in XP, operating system XP votes - DVD mechanic working correctly - its fable.
However, if I installed XP on second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
I have now XP only, even if Vista is on first partition - I didnt delete it.
Do you think the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
I think, seeing that DVD-rom not respond in BIOS - HW error.
But is very strange, if I install XP from DVD mechanic and close then is done, DVD-rom not working ... : (
If I open it manually and insert the disc, DVD not working (led diode not blink, just if I turn computer off, led blinked once).
PLS help me somebody -
THANKS!

Hi Michal
Your issue is very strange I mean the CD/DVD drive issue
Fact is that the CD/DVD drives eject function should functions no matter what OS was installed on your notebook. It has nothing to do with your software on the HDD.
So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not with preinstalled XP OS ?:|
My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a loose connection between the notebook and the drive. At the other hand the issue could be related to the hardware problem too
As you see its not easy to say whats wrong exactly we can only speculate.
Now some details about your dual OS installation.
You cannot choose between the Windows XP and Vista because the Vista boot manager was overwritten during the Win XP installation.
This happened to me too. I have installed Win XP on my Satellite and was not able to start Vista.
The solution was easy; I have used another original Vista DVD (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. The Vista has renewed the boot manager and then I was able to boot the Vista.
Then I have downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
This tool can change the settings the Vista boot manager. I have edited it and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.
Thats it!
