My son uses a hand-me-down Toshiba Satellite Laptop and the CD Drive is structurally / mechanically broken.

How difficult would it be to install a new one myself?

Any websites for instructions...

I've installed new laptop hard drives and memory before but never a CD drive. Is it easy enough for me to do or should I take it to a repair shop?



Answer
The DVD/CD drive is a module, go on Toshiba Website. You will be able to identify the part number that goes with your model. It is not as hard as laptop hard disk replacement.

How to replace a Toshiba Satellite L505D Screen?




Bob Illyah


I broke the screen in my Toshiba Satellite L505D-GS6000 and now I need to replace it. So I was hoping to find a site that provides step-by-step instructions with pictures if possible to show how to replace it. I never bought a warranty and the manufacture warranty doesn't cover accidental damages. Is their anyone that knows of a site that provides instructions on how to do this for my model of laptop or can provide instructions on how to do so?

What does the flashing power cord led on my toshiba satellite mean?




monkeyboys


Something happened to my toshiba satellite (some kind of error) and now it doesn't want to start and the power cord led keeps flashing even when I removed the power cord. What gives?


Answer
if it doesn't charge its very simple i have a Satellite but no led on the power cord anyways i left the part of the cord where it comes apart you know plugged up and in the wall but it fits both ways even though it is polarized and it overheated and stopped working so you need to get a new charger from toshiba most likely as that's what i did and it works great now just always check it after 30 minutes and make sure its not to hot if it is unplug it till it cools down and plug it back in the other way and you can leave it plugged in as long as you like it will not matter...

How to fix a Toshiba Satellite laptop with the recovery disk?




That's Eno


My Toshiba Satellite laptop has crashed AGAIN. Can I buy a new hard drive and use my factory recover disks to reinstall everything 'out of the box' settings and software?

I guess my real question is, does the recovery disk have windows vista on it and if I buy a new blank hard drive will the recovery disk work? Or does it have to verify the existing hard drive in order to reinstall everything?



Answer
You should be able to do a system restoration on a new hard drive. However, from Vista onward, the system restoration has been included in a partition on the hard drive itself. I recently restored a Vista system for a friend off that partition. You may want to try that first.
