The wrist rest, touchpad and display's back feature a glossy silver color and the area below the keyboard up to the lid and the display's bezel have a black piano paint surface. The review sample's casing tries to add a few visual highlights but a high-quality impression is not produced due to the cheap-looking plastic. Our in-depth review will reveal how Toshiba's C55-A-1D5 fares in games, multimedia and in office work based on numerous benchmarks. Both the Toshiba and the Asus weigh 2.3 kg (~5.1), which is typical in this category, but the V3 is heavy at 3.2 kg (~7.1) on the scales. The portability factor is also noteworthy. The other equipment in the Acer and Asus is identical with the Toshiba and both are also available for below 700 Euros (~949). Asus' A56CB sports a runtime-friendly but slower Intel Core i3-3217U ULV dual-core (2x 1.8 GHz, Hyperthreading, TDP: 17 W) and the same graphics chip as our review sample. The first device features Intel's Core i7 3610QM (4x 2.3 - 3.3 GHz, TDP: 45 W) entry-level quad-core, which is based on the Ivy Bridge architecture just like Intel's Core i5-3230M, while the performance of Nvidia’s GeForce GT 640M graphics solution is lower than that of the Toshiba laptop.
Our benchmarks prove that this combination also allows playing current and graphically demanding games smoothly in medium or sometimes even higher presets.įor this test report, we used Acer's Aspire V3-571G-73614G50Makk and Asus' A56CB-XX053H, both with 15.6-inch screens, for comparison. Thank you for using JustAnswer.For the original German review, see here.Īn Intel Core i5-3230M (2x 2.6 - 3.2 GHz, Hyperthreading, TDP: 35 W) alongside a dedicated Nvidia GeForce GT 740M graphics solution with 2 GB of memory make Toshiba's Satellite C55-A-1D5 a multimedia laptop. If this person is as good as you think he is, you should feel confident he will be able to this for you. I've taken so many of these apart, I feel fairly confident that if I could get my hands on your system I would have no trouble removing you disc.
You may want shop locally for an externally USB connected DVD drive if there's an urgency that requires you to use the DVD drive. If there's only one disc in there, I think the chances are greater that there is something wrong with the drive, and this issue may occur again. If there do happen to be 2discs in there, i think the result will be the same. I don't think there is any risk at all to the computer system - these laptops are generally modular in sort fashion and taking the drive out of the system will leave the computer out of the equation once the really risky maneuvers begin. If the DVD slot automatically grabbed your disc and pulled it in, and you did hear anything unusual, see it hesitate or feel it knock against anything in there, then I don't think there's enough room in there for two discs and the feed system to work. 08 If "turned" far enough open, you should be able to slide out the CD-Rom disc. If no transmission to the internal mechanics, try to find a sprocket or a pully who do drive the force to the internal mechanics. (Be careful with the faceplate! There are notches who easily can brake) 07 See for a small electromotor who drives the internal mechanics and turn the spindle in the direction that the internal mechanics are opening. 06 Open the CD-Rom drive casing and take off the lids. 04 Unscrew (Click in some models) the CD-Rom drive. 03 While touching a metal part of the case, take off the cables from the CD-Rom drive. 02 Open the system and touch a blank metal surface to equalize any static electricity. 01 shut down the system and pull out all the connectors to the system.
HOW TO EJECT CD FROM TOSHIBA LAPTOP HOW TO
If you want to try it regardless that the drive can be defective afterwords, here is the how to do. The other way is very technical! This can be done only if you are experienced with precision mechanical systems. Right-click the drive letter of the DVD drive under "My Computer" and select eject. One I think you've already tried - but I wanted to be clear. There are two other ways to force the eject of the DVD player.
