X300 - Need help finding the correct internal DVD Burner

I want to buy and install an internal DVD burner, which I am unable to identify on the Lenovo website.  The only internal Ultrathin DVD burners I find fit the x200 series, but nothing for the x300 series.  Frustrating.
Mine is a Thinkpad x300, Type 6477, and S/N L3-xxxxx.
Anyone able to help me identify the correct part number?
Thanks!
Moderator Note; s/n edited for members own protection

. . . thanks for the part IDs, lead_org. . . . took your advice and searched ebay for both, but nothing surfaced. . . . so, I entered the parts numbers into Lenovo's Websales site and was unable to find any such part listings for sale anywhere . . . nothing. . . . then, I emailed Lenovo Websales about it . . . they promptly replied that the parts were not in stock, and that I could try purchasing from www.cdw.com . . . I can understand if Lenovo did not have them in stock, but that they would not even LIST the parts was weird. . . . this is a 1-1/2 year old machine . . . are the lifecycles for laptops these days so short that they are unsupported even this fast? . . . I did see a few other sites selling the replacement DVD as new (presumably) for US$300, but none were in stock. . . . if I have no other alternatives, is a DVD the sort of part that is durable enough to reliably purchase used? Thanks!

    hi I need help finding the best desktop. I am looking to buy MAC for gf.
    she uses final cut program question is does the GB/RAM/STORAGE matter on performance?
    She has a 2009 Apple computer I want to upgrade her to a new one
    I Dont know much when it comes to specs. She edits tons of videos and pictures.
    what's recommended for a video/photo editor that's good in performance ?

    Pro consumer might go with iMac even.
    Final Cut Pro latest benefits from dual AMD graphics.
    Video is one animal, graphics a much different.
    Great site full of performance, buying and configuration ideas:
    MacPerformance Go to the main topics
    I think you need to get clear on budgets. start with mid range and add all the options and can spend $4,000 or $7,000.
    Go to the Mac Store and do some looking and Google for reviews of software, hardware of course.

  • Need help picking the correct hard drive upgrade for my MBP

    I need help picking the correct/best hard drive upgrade for my MBP. It is the 15" 2GHz Core Duo. Came with a spacious 90GB drive.
    Suggestions and recommendations very appreciated.

    It will take almost any 2.5 inch sata drive.
    Take a look at www.newegg.com and www.macsales.com to see what's out there and how much it costs.
    Toshiba have a 320gb 2,.5 inch drive in the works, but it's not quite out yet and will be expensive.

  • Need help finding the right codec to play QT files

    Like many others who have posted, all the quicktime files on my drive have turned to black. Previously when I opened the file, I saw picture and sound. Now every single file has only audio, but the picture is black.
    I am operation on Mac O.S. 10.4.11. I am using Quicktime Pro 7.5. I have been trying to fix this problem for a month now. Many people have suggested I need to find the right codec, but so far I have not found it. I have tried: A52codec.component, AC3codec, MacOS 8.x, 9.1.x, Apple Intermediate Codec.com, Apple MPEG2.codec.component, Avilmporter-r7.component, DivX Decoder.component, DivX Encoder.component, DivX Pro 6.8.0.19 + keymaker, EnsharpEncoderMacOsX.cmg, Fbx 20091quicktime_macemu.pkg.tar, Fbx QT.pkg, Flipsformac, WMV Advanced.component, Flipsformac WMV Advanced Exports.component, Flipsformac WMV Import.component, IMXCodec.component, LAAME Universal Installer.mpkg, LAAMEncoder.component, QSSP_2.1.dmg, QSXEssentials.component, QSXEssentials.dmg, QTFvx.component, Red Quicktime Codec v3.1.pkg, Red Code iedcod.qt.component, Spectrograph.component, TSCC.component xiphqt.component, XviD_codec-r58.component, XviDELEGATE.component
    Nothing worked!
    I also tried to install Perian. This did not work.
    What should I do? Should I re-install my operating system and start over? About a month ago, all the video clips played just fine. Is there any solution?
    Thanks

    Hi Wangerer!
    I haven't even heard of half of those! You may have reached overkill on codecs!
    Get rid of some of them and read this:
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.4 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
    and then the latest version obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-004. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
    On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
    On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
    And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
    http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
    FOOTNOTE
    If you are running Leopard:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

  • I need to play a DVD that was created on a microsoft machine on my Mac and need help finding the right converter software.

    I have received a "Data DVD" that was made on a windows machine and need to play it on my mac but am having trouble finding the right player or converter.I would like a free application if possible. Thank You,JerryStephen:-)

    I think I understand now.  The DVD has an auto start player (exe) that steps through the video's, html, whatever. Your gonna need windows or you'll be forced to look at the individual pieces seperately.  Html's you can open, idx files are subtitles, the video format is avi I'm guessing or maybe wma.
    Try this first, get the VLC player from video_lan.  It's a great tool to have in your toolbox.  It should play the video files at least (including subtitles).  VLC can play almost any format.

  • I need help with the Pinnacle Dazzle DVD recording software. Please help :D

    I have recently bought a Platinum Pinnacle Dazzle DVD Recorder, this device allows me to record gameplay from my PS3 and put it onto my iMac (Capture Card) I nought the Windows version of the software and I need the iMac compatible one but I don't want to go into the shop and spend another £50 on it when I already have the Hardware. Does anyone use Dazzle too? To record their gameplay.
    All I need is a Dazzle DVC100 Driver to help run the hardware. I have it connected and it all works, just need to view it on my iMac now. Any advice?
    If all else fails, i'll just have to go and buy an iMac compatible one.
    Also, what software would you recommend for editing, I intend on making a Montage (A video clip of my best gameplay on Modern Warfare 2 with some nice editing)
    P.S. I'm only new to this, but I am 16, and I have an A in my GCSE ICT, so I know a good bit about computers.

    Of course iMovie is basic, it is aimed at the home and casual user who wants to put holidays and the kid's birthday party on to a DVD and send it to Grandma. It certainly comes with more transition effects than I would ever use.
    Why?
    Go watch a major, big budget film. Do you see a transition everytime the scene changes?
    No. It is 99.9% hard cuts.
    Movie making is about telling a story, not bombarding the audience with twirling "effects". They will soon get bored or irritated with that and never watch it again.
    Now, if you want something more advanced, start with [Final Cut Express|http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress> and when you are ready, move up to the [Studio|http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio> version. Both have plenty of transitions and there are thousands of plugins available. I don't use most of those either -the interesting tools are those for color correction, keying and compositing. Those are what makes the finished product look polished.

  • Need help finding the desktop applc of Adobe Reader for Palm OS

    Thanks for your replies guys
    WN,  thanks for the suggestion. I had just tried it actually. And it's a great alternative. But after using the other one, I can't help but notice how slow it is in my Palm TX. I think I would prefer to get the benefit of compressing/converting the files to PDBs. But no one seems to know where to get that application. I checked in my TX CD and I didn't find it.
    If your TX installation CD does not "auto-run" and present you with a menu to install additional software (including Adobe Reader for Palm), you can find it on the disc using Windows Explorer at:
    Palm CD > Int_English >  Essential_software > Adobe Reader for Palm
    In that folder is the installation (.exe) file which you run on your desktop.  It installs the desktop app, and the .prc file gets installed to the quick installer during the process.
    FYI...this software is slow and clunky on the handheld.  The conversion process is imperfect, and particularly with files which I have produced myself using Acrobat Distiller (the part of Adobe Acrobat which lets you "print" to the distiller to create a .pdf file from anything),  it sometimes doesn't even work.
    The best .pdf viewer I have used on my handhelds is actually the upgraded version of Documents To Go, which handles native .pdf files pretty well.  No conversion needed, just drop the files into your SD card, or Hotsync with Documents To Go desktop.

    I suspect your problem is probably within this code:
    if (list < ((avg) - ((1.5) * (stDev))))
                   System.out.println (nf.format (list [i]) + "     E");
                   else if ((((avg) - (1.5) * (stDev)) <= list [i]) && (list [i] < ((avg) - ((1.5) * (stDev)))))
                   System.out.println (nf.format (list [i]) + "     D");
                   else if ((((avg) - ((1.5) * (stDev))) <= list [i]) && (list [i] < ((avg) + ((1.5) * (stDev)))))
                   System.out.println (nf.format (list [i]) + "     C");
                   else if ((list [i] >= ((avg) + ((1.5) * (stDev)))) && (((avg) + (1.5) * (stDev)) > list [i]))
                   System.out.println (nf.format (list [i]) + "     B");
                   else if (((avg) + (1.5) * (stDev)) <= list [i])
                   System.out.println (nf.format (list [i]) + "     A");
    You need to simplify this logic so it is easier to understand. How about pre-calculating some of the values (such as "((avg) - ((1.5) * (stDev))") and putting that into a variable. It will make it much more possbile to check the logic of the individual "if" statements.

  • Need help finding the format bar in numbers

    I am new to using Numbers.  Am trying to create a new document, but unlike Excel, I can not find a format toolbar where I could make corrections to text.  What am I missing?  Can someone tell me how to add the format toolbar in Numbers.  Using latest iMac, system, and iWorks, thanks

    SGIII: the Dock is just an alias. Whatever you use to access the document, it is always the document itself: it stays one document. Every editing is in that same file.
    Hi LexShellings,
    I'm not sure that description is entirely true.  There is more than one copy of the document. The way I understand it, documents stored in iCloud are (obviously) on Apple's servers and also, on each Mac or iOS devices with that iCloud account, a separate copy is stored in a special local folder whose contents are synced automatically to Apple's servers.
    When you make a change on the Mac you are changing the copy stored in the local folder Library > Mobile Documents > com~Apple~Numbers.  Then daemons come along and sync that local copy with the document up in the cloud.
    Same with changes made on iOS devices.  A copy of the document is stored in a special local folder. The contents of that folder is synced up to Apple's servers.
    So if you want a document stored in iCloud to show up on the Dock, you can just drag it from Library > Mobile Documents > com~Apple~Numbers to the Dock, because, as you point out, an alias is automatically created whenever you drag something to the Dock.
    If you want the iCloud document to show up in your Documents folder, though, you need to first make an alias of the copy stored in Library > Mobile Documents > com~Apple~Numbers and drag that alias to Documents.
    My personal preference is still to open a document from within the application. Fewer things to go wrong and I that way I can also be sure I am opening it with the correct version of Numbers.

  • I need help finding the best Creative MP3 player for

    I've been searching through the product literature and not finding the information I need to make my decision. I'm hoping the people here might be able to help.
    I need one that does MOST if not all of the following:
    ) Audible audio book support.
    This is mandatory since 75% of my usage is books on the commute. If the player will have support "soon" as in the next month, then that is OK. I can limp along with my current player.
    2) Bookmarks.
    Since I mostly listen to books I need to be able to resume play at any point. It would be great if the player supported a bookmark per file, but I could handle one that only remembered the current position.
    3) In-Car use.
    By this I mean that it can receive power from a car adapter and will auto shut off and remember the playing position when the power is turned off. I was thinking of using a USB power adapter for the MuVo Tx FM, but I don't know if it will actually play when powered that way. I dri've 2hrs a day and that eats batteries too fast to not use the car power.
    Thanks for the help =)

    Altair,
    The Zen Xtra is the player you want. It currently has all three of the features you want available.
    ) It supports Audible with the latest firmware.
    2) It has a bookmark feature that lets you set multiple bookmarks and recall the position.
    3) It has a car mode that makes it shutdown when you turn off your car (assuming that your car outlet turns off when the keys are removed) and restart at where it was when you turn the car back on.
