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!

    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't get camera to start

    After plunging through the forums I notice a lot of people have been having problems with their built in web cams.
    Before the camera was just moody, turning on and off stating other applications had locked usage (when they werent even on, not even in background tasks) but it stopped working.
    I managed to uninstall the camera driver and download the Vista version of the website. The software seems to have installed fine but when you start the software it says "turn camera on" and even by pressing the hot keys I cant get the camera to start, just the software with a grey screen.
    I checked device manager and its no use.
    Help please! I dont want to have to go out and buy a new camera.

    Hi!
    I have two Toshiba laptops and no problems with the webcam. Both webcams work fine and without problems.
    Did you download the driver from the Toshiba website?

    Maybe a BIOS could also solve the problem.
    Have you installed the notebook with the Toshiba recovery disk or Microsoft disk?

  • What is the best blue-ray drive for my Mac Pro????

    What is the best blue-ray drive for my Mac Pro????
    I wanted a BWU-200S but it says windows only i called apple
    and all they could tell me was logitech....wouldn't tell me a model
    or anything.
    I would really like one that does all the formats and feature that the
    Sony BWU-200S does.
    I read that the BWU-200S might work in the mac pro it just only comes with
    windows software. If anyone has tried this let me know please i need this soon.

    This site makes Mac compatible Blueray drives:
    http://store.fastmac.com/index.php?cPath=10252
    The questions to ask them is:
    1. Which applications can be used to burn bluray movies from it?
    2. Which applications can be used to playback commercial bluray from it?
    3. Does it let you burn DVDs from iDVD, iTunes and the Finder as well as CDs and CD-RWs?
    4. Does it support both DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL for burning and playback?
    5. Does it allow for booting from the system installer that shipped with the machine and running the hardware test that shipped with the machine?
    6. Do you get to keep the original optical drive in case you want to troubleshoot if system issues are due to their drive?
    Some of these may already be on the website, I just haven't taken the time to look it completely over.

  • Blu Ray Drive for W500 - which one?

    This my first post! I have a W500 (4058), 64-bit Win7, 8GB Ram. I have seen multiple blu ray drives for the W500, so I'm not sure which one is best (or even what the real differences between them are). Here are the FRU that are supposedly compatiable with the W500: 1.) 43N3215 2.) 42T2538 (or 42T2539) 3.) 43N3230 Any one have any of these? Any problems with locating the drivers, etc? Thanks. 

    An additional question that should be asked is this:  What is the height of the various Blu Ray drives?  Are they 9 mm high or 12.5 mm high? There has been a lot of discussion about the UltraBay disk caddies not properly filling the UltraBay slot on the W520 because they are not high enough to fully fill the UltraBay slot. Michael

  • 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.

  • Can you network dvd/blu-ray drives?

    I was wondering i have two "living rooms" both have a tv's and one has a hp media center pc with a blu-ray/hd-dvd drive in it, and i was thinking of putting a apple tv on the other. but is it possible to network the blu-ray drive to the apple tv? i know with shuttle pc's you can network dvd drives so i was thinking you can do the same with an apple tv?

  • 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!

  • Where can I get a new hard drive for my intel imac?  **** thing dumped, less than 3 years old.

    This is my first mac and the **** hard drive crashed in only 2+ years and of course the waranty is expired.  Can I replace the hard drive with any 3.5" replacement or do I need something special.  And if I do where can I get it?  I didn't see anything specifically for an intel imac at apple store.  I don't want to pay apple to install it, already spent enough money on this disappointing purchase.

    any 3.5" Sata drive will do.  I recommend http://www.macsales.com/, or http://www.newegg.com/

  • Can i get an external disk drive for my MacBook 5,1

    My disk drive on my MacBook 5,1 (model #A1278) is bust. It will not accept a dvd/cd at all, it won't let it in...not an inch!  seems like it's stuck in eject? as if there is a disk inside but as far as i know there is not.  Nothing i have tried makes any difference.  So i am wondering if i can buy an external disk drive, but this info is not obvious to me on the Apple Store website!

    Probably pretty much any one would as long as it can be connected to your Macbook with USB or Firewire or what it has.  Read the fine print when it refers to system requirements.  In most cases that refers to bundled software which you probably don't need.  Usually if there's OS limits for Macs it's something like you must be running OSX 10.2 or newer.
    I would start looking on a site such as www.mac-sales.com which caters for Mac users so you can be assured their stuff is compatible.  You can get something pre-assembled or you can buy an enclosure and a drive separately and assemble them yourself.  My preference would be for one where the drive is powered independently, though that does tie you down to an outlet.  On the other hand with an external drive you're not going to be walking around the room.
    I guess one Mac compatibiltiy issue would be if the drive is bootable.  Not all third party drives can boot your Mac should the need arise.  I'm not so familiar with Macbooks that I am up to date on this and this might be one thing you could ask the vendor (and a reason for going with a vendor who knows Macs).

  • Re: Satellite A660-12P - can't find the right display driver for Win XP

    Hey everyone, i need some help with this one:
    I just made a dual boot Win7 (x64)/XP (x86) on my laptop, but i can't find the right display drivers for the video controller VGA compatible on XP.
    Does someone know where i can find them?
    Many thanks,

    Yes, you get this message because you cannot install the nVidia rivers only executing the exe file.
    If you want to install such drivers then you have to do this in device manager.
    You have to force the notebook to choose the driver
    You can do this choosing the advanced installation procedure which helps you to point to the driver files!

  • Where can I get a new hard drive for an LC II (80MB)

    I have a complete Macintosh LC II that saw most of the family through University (and me retraining as a dentist). The hard drive is an IBM HDD 80MB 3.5" WDS-L80 - does anyone know anyone still selling these/ can I use a substitute. Would like to keep the Mac as a feature in my office/study.

    Wow, i just went to buy.com and their homepage is so messy i couldn't even find the computer stuff.
    So out of curiosity, i checked eBay and 80GB SCSI hard drives are grossly overpriced. $50 is a lot even if it's new, which most are not. You might make an offer on one that's "buy it now or best offer". 
    But here are two possibly better sources:
    1. Check craigslist in your area for old used Macs. I suspect you can put in a SCSI hard drive up to at least 512 MB in size. (or do you want the "stock" hardware config..? )
    2. You could check state surplus in your area for old used Macs, but they're likely recycling anything that old if it comes in. You might talk to their computer person and ask if he'll save any "vintage" Macs for you if any come in.
    I have an LC 475 someplace. Pretty cool little computer.  I might actually have an extra SCSI HD around too that i could part with.

    Hi ,
    I am looking for a driver that is jdbc2.0 compatible.Apaprently the oci and thin drvers that are shipped with oracle8.1.5 do no support scrollable and updateable resultsets. Can i download the oracle8.1.6 jdbc2.0 compatible drivers and use them with my oracle8.1.5 client/server. if so how do i install it?
    Please let me know ASAP!!
    It is relly frustrating to find a compatibler driver for the older versions since oracle does'nt provide them

    Yes. For OCI driver, you will also have to have Oracle 8.1.6 client installed as well. http://technet.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.htm#_1_
