Can i replace a toshiba Model no:PSM30E-7101V-7U laptop dvd drive with an inspiron 5160 dvd drive?


Also how can I determine what model of toshiba I have it says satellite but thats it!! FEEDBACK IS GREATLY APPRECIATED?

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR IN DETERMINING COMPATIBLE DVD DRIVES?

Can be confusing here if one owns a Toshiba. Their optical drives are always set as master in order to work with their BIOS.

My recommendation is to look for vendors that garantee that the optical drive model WILL work in a Toshiba.

Use this as reference:

If the machine is working,download and install Belarc Advisor, it will tell you all the info you want to know of your laptop. The replacement drive must be preset to Master or it will not work. You cant change or reset them
