• Satellite A500 - video/dvd player is not compatible with Windows 10

  After having recently updated of my laptop for windows 10 I discovered that the dvd player does not work. A message is displayed informing that the player is not compatible with this version of windows. A scan using Norton suggests dvd will not work because it needs to be configured.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Obviously, Toshiba DVD playback application that is preinstalled on this Satellite A500 model is not compatible with the system Windows 10.

  In this case this software will not properly work after the upgrade to win 10 and I guess you have to remove the system Win 10.

  Unfortunately, the Satellite A500 is not listed as Win 10 portable computers and so I don't think you will get an update to this software for DVD playback.

  Here is a list of models supported for upgrading to Windows 10

• Recovery USB - stick (DVD player does not) Acer Aspire 7750 G

  Hello world

  My DVD player does not work for quit some time. This is no big problem for me, because one barely use it.

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to burn recovery DVD. In my view, it has an option to do a recovery USB drive. It would be a great solution! Unfortunately I do not have the possibility to do so. Is this only possible for computers without an optical drive? Is it possible to download the program with the option to use a USB - stick as in the YouTube video?

  YouTube instructionvideo

  Thanks in advance,

  Richard

  You can try to work around the problem, since I'm not sure that Acer was already an eRecovery on windows version 7 which allows to create USB recovery media.

  This free software allows you to create a virtual DVD/rw drive and use it to create an iso file, then you can ise this iso file to create a USB stick recovery using rufus:

• P200 DVD player does not appear an image with the Toshiba software.

  Hello

  I just posted this question a few hours before, but it seems to have disappeared from the forum, so go again us.

  When I use the Toshiba Software to play a DVD, I get no image, although the interface commands and the sound is very good. The DVD player is fine when I use Windows Media player. This problem suddenly started a few days ago.

  Surely, it is a software problem, as the DVD player would not work with Windows Media Player otherwise. However, I wonder why the software would suddenly stop working.

  Any suggestions?

  Thannks,

  Rich

  PS I tried to update the software as someone suggested before the last thread has disappeared, but Vista stated that the new version is older than the current version, I despite the fact that last year, I bought this pc, and the most recent version is dated to this year. Strange.

• Portege R500 - DVD player does not work

  Hello
  I love my laptop Portege I bought this month of September. The only thing is that the DVD player is not working for some time.
  -When I put a DVD or CD, I realize I can't freely turn the disc in the drive while it is still open. Strange, but I don't see anything blocking the rotation of the disk.
  -The system does not recognize at all have a DVD player. Initially, it worked, I can't say exactly when it went wrong. I checked with Toshiba Assist: in the information panel, it shows no info on the DVD player, in diagnostic Panel, I have the opportunity to check the DVD but when the test system is just jump the operation all the time, indicating that the Player cannot be found.
  -In the control panel I don't see no more among the hardvers
  -For starting, the DVD is one last thing to check in my BIOS settings. But in fact when the start-up the laptop I can hear the sound of the reader looking for something inside, turning or trying to rotate the disc, but it seems always becomes stuck and starting takes like 5-7 minutes due to lengthy trials, get the DVD player work in vain.
  -Now even when I put the energy setting to oriented perf, I no longer hear the system would look for DVD (setting the player gets off everything when using not saving)

  Someone from Toshiba support could help me? Is it possible to check this problem with the remote connection to my laptop, or something? Or should I take it to the service? With this, I also have a little challenge: I bought my laptop in Hungary, but now I stay in Japan throughout the year. So I would need a station in Tokyo where they accept my European warranty. Could you please provide me with any help or ideas? If possible, direct mail also. Thanks in advance!

  > Could someone support for Toshiba to help me?
  To do this, you will need to get in touch with the Toshiba ASP in your country.
  Here in the forum you can get suggestions form common users because it s a user forum to ;)

  > Is it possible to check this problem with the remote connection to my laptop, or something?
  I doubt that this is possible since this could be a hardware problem

  > Or should I take it to the service?
  Maybe this would be the best

  > I need a station in Tokyo where they accept my European warranty. Could you please provide me with any help or ideas? If possible by direct mail also
  On the page of Toshiba Europe, I was able to find an info on TOSHIBA EMEA LIMITED WARRANTY for NOTEBOOKS.
  This warranty is applicable only in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and can be executed in any
  Countries the EMEA where Toshiba or its Service providers allowed offers warranty service terms and conditions provided for in the present
  warranty. This warranty covers the costs of service parts and labor needed to restore your system to full operational status.

  As you can see in the Japan is not covered by the EMEA region :( So I doubt that the warranty will cover the costs to the Japan.

• CD/DVD drive is not detected (Windows Vista). Error message: Please insert a disk (removable disk): __Our device driver is: TSSTcorp CD/DVGW TS-H653L ATA Device.

  Was not aware there is a problem until I tried some recently audio and data CDs.  Have you tried different Web sites to help you, however some of the directions come with a warning that by following certain procedures I can create other problems.  The FixIt tool was not able to install the player.

  Hello

  Please ALL these even if you've done it before as it's often the total process that
  solves the problem. You should also check with the system manufacturer as some readers do not use windows
  by default the drivers and need their own, use the bottom and if no joy check on the site of the manufacturer of the system.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.
