• S good for Satellite 1400-253 DVD burner need

  Could someone give me the part number for the Toshiba dvd writer/burner
  or offer any compatible dvd burner to fit one

  Computer portable satellite 1400-253 s (ide connection)

  Thank you

  Satellite 1400 is old model of laptop and it comes with several different optical disk drives, but none of them was DVD burner. Currently, these discs were not available.
  Due to this fact, you will not be able to find info on compatibility.

  If you need the list of compatible readers let us know but none of them is DVD burner.

• Install external DVD burner on NB200

  Hello
  It is a first post of time following the purchase of a NB200 using OS WinXP installed standard. With the NB200, I also bought a LG GP08LU10 "External Super Multi DVD Rewriter". When I plug the DVD climb in the NB200 it powers and the NB200 recognizes hardware such as a CD-ROM drive. However, it is disabled. The Assistant added of Harware WinXP running causes the message "this device is disabled (Code 22)".

  A check of the CD that came with the DVD reveals that there are no drivers on the CD only DVD burning and playback software.

  I plugged the DVD player on my laptop Lenovo that is also running Windows XP and unity "plugged and played" as you would expect.

  A search on the web based on product LG GP08 ID creates very little success with one or two it seems to describe similar symptoms, but not solutions. More talk about the installation of a driver, but I was not able to locate a driver on the LG site (or as I said, on the product CD).

  The DVD player comes with a 'standard' USB cable and a USB power cable. Each single cable and two cables with the NB200 plugged into the power supply and it still is not plug and play.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Kind regards
  TESA

  Hello

  According to the Microsoft page, 22 error means that the device is either disabled or not started. Eventually he hasn t started in your case.

  There are several proposals for solution.
  One of them told you he must remove the Device Manager and reboot the laptop.
  After that new reboot of the operating system should recognize the DVD drive connected again.

  On the other hand, you could try to remove all USB hubs and controllers from the list of devices USB and should restart the laptop again.
  This help to refresh the USB drivers.

  I not quite sure if deleting upper and lower filters change anything but maybe what it s worth m to try.
  Start the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  After that, restart the laptop and check the functionality of DVD USB drive s.

• Need replacement for M70 - 191 DVD burner.

  My DVD burner on my M70-191 (has my * a UJ-8415) refuses to recognize most CD and fails when you try to burn the DVD, with various errors. I've tried different types and different burning software. Re-installed, cleaned up by car drivers. No luck.

  So, I'm looking for a new drive... where can I buy a suitable replacement?

  Hello Steve

  First of all, I think you should buy the same drive. Doing this will allow you to possibly avoid compatibility problems. I have too many Satellite M70 and the optical disk drive is really good.

  I advise to use Google and you will find many online shops where you can order the new ODD.

• I can build in the Satellite Pro 4600 DVD burner?

  Hiya

  Can anyone help with this? Has anyone equipped with a DVD burner (dvd - rw drive Toshiba sd-r6252)?
  Which models are compatible? I'm good fight opening and Exchange.
  Compatibility just in fact know.
  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t found any information if this drive is compatible with the Satellite Pro 4600, but you should be careful to replace the drive.
  You should check the dimensions of the car. Very important is the drive (master, slave, csel) settings because it is not possible to change this settings as on the usual desktop drive.
  I'm not sure about the settings on the Satellite Pro 4600 but the ASP Toshiba should know that.
  You can also order the caught player supported by the Toshiba service partner in your country.

• What dvd burner is compatible with Tecra A2

  Hello

  I want to know what dvd burners are compatible with my tecra A2 because I bought a dvd burner and does not work with the tecra A2 (IDE1 #error).
  There is nothing about it in the manual.

  Can you help me?
  Thank you.

  This #error IDE1 appears because of the evil master\slave\c-salt settings.
  All Toshiba slim line discs works in cable (CSEL) default selection mode. In other words, the player receives a signal from the laptop it say if it needs to act as a master or a slave device on the IDE channel.

  Some portable computers on the market do not work according to this specification, but use the way inverted CSEL signal to save a bit of power electric. If you are installing a drive running in standard CSEL mode in such a laptop, the inverted signal will require to work evil master/slave mode giving the reader the logical address as the hard drive installed on the same IDE channel. Accordingly, the optical drive, HARD drive or both cannot be detected by the BIOS and is not usable. Some laptops may display an error message at the start, for example 'IDE #1 error"or similar.

  In some user manuals, you can find information about compatible CD/DVD players.
  Did you check that?

  If you find any details on a compatible player then contact ASP in your country for info. You can also order such driver of these guys here.

  Good luck

• Satellite A20-130: SD-R2412 cannot read that DVD burned in some optical drives

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite A20-130, running Windows XP and Ununtu Dapper in a double score. My 2nd laptop is not a Toshiba. When I burned the DVD (DVD + R) with my laptop Toshiba no and played against them in my Satellite everything has worked well.

  However, when I bought a new optical drive for my 2nd my Toshiba laptop suddenly stopped playing DVDs burned in this new optical disc (I was using exactly the same brand of disc and the same format - DVD + R). I tried the old DVD (those burned in the laptop before that material from the optical drive has been upgraded) and they can still read perfectly well.

  This problem applies to both Ubuntu and Windows XP. Computer support portable 2nd said that sounds like a problem of firmware with my Toshiba. I updated the driver for my optical drive Toshiba R2412 SD (which according to the manual of the leader, seems to fix a DVD-Ram compatibility issue). Now the reader occasionally reads some of the new DVDs burnt (after doing lots of noise and waiting for ages), but more often that not, I get an error message saying that the device cannot be read, because the format is wrong or the device needs to be formatted.

  This computer non-Toshiba laptop read DVD, it burns using the optical drive improved perfectly.

  Hello

  Satellite A20 is old enough laptop model, and after intensive use, it may be that the disc is more sensitive. If all this happens occasionally there no explanation just why this happens.

  I know it's pretty boring, but I don't see any magic solution. In the end, you should test with new disc.

• What caused my DVD burner, to stop working

  OK, my main hard drive is SATA, if it is relevant to anyone who can help me that I don't know, but I'd rather just give too much information than not enough. I had to go and change my diet because he could not support my new DVD of LG Super Multi burner. Once I replaced it, it worked fine, I then a day later added a HDD IDE to put in shape, it did not work, I realized I should enable in my bios. I did, none of my devices would start and the computer would not go past the initial splash screen. I unplugged my hard drive and the computer starts correctly. now the hard drive does not work, I could care less because it's not as important to me as my NEW DVD burner. Also no power at all not going through my burner. I have plug into my diet and nothing happens. I fear he may have been fried somehow, but I don't know. I even tried other IDE cables on my power supply to power. nothing works! Please help me to find out why the * he decided to stop working completely. Thank you and excuse my language ^_^ didn't need to make the drive master/slave, like I said I don't like hard disk, he won. but the DVD burner is now completely insensitive. This is my problem, why she will not receive any power. It is a question, I want to do light, so keep in mind that I don't like hard disk, just my DVD ROM not working

• LG supermulti dvd burner is not detected by the system.

  I wanted to install ATI RADEON HD 4350 and so I uninstalled the driver Intel (r) GMA. I installed the card on the motherboard and I have installed the driver provided by the manufacturer using their CD and I also did other necessary things. Everything worked perfectly. Then in the driver user interface, I saw two monitors. I selected one of them, without any judgement and turns off the computer. Later, when I put it on I saw there was not on my screen and indicator showed natural signal, which was red. So I uninstalled the card and connect the monitor to the onboard connector cable.

  Sometimes the HDD and LG supermulti dvd burner got detected (both or one of them) and sometimes they were not. When they were done detected the speed and performance of the machine was very poor. Monitor has also not getting detected in Device Manager.Then I managed to uninstall the video adapter driver and is also further things to slove the problem:

  Checking the SATA connections (my HDD is on the SATA1 and LG supermulti dvd burner is SATA 2), checking the other connections, Clearing RTC RAM etc, but nothing gave me a permanent solution.

  Then I did a BIOS update and I did an upgrade to Windows XP SP3, stay inside Windows and I also reinstalled driver Intel (r) GMA (new version).

  Now the problem is the drive is detected but supermulti LG dvd writer is not. But now the monitor is in my device manager and performance is good. Now what should I do to the system so that it could detect LG supermulti dvd burner?

  Two other points are:

  1. when I was using the video card my system was attacked by a Trojan horse, but now it's OK after running a full scan using KIS2011 and take necessary measures.

  2 is powered for the LG supermulti dvd burner because it is to open when I am pressing the button.

  System Specs:

  OS: Win XP SP3 x 32

  MB:Asus P5QPL-AM (it has integrated video card)

  The problem has been resolved by running a scan for hardware changes in Device Manager. I did it before but this time it worked.

• Windows media player won't recognize that my cd/dvd burner, so will not burn anything even if during 3 years, until now

  Windows Vista operated computer that has worked well so far, now Winsows Media Player does not recognize my burner. Tried to do the upadting for my burner,

  but said that everything is up to date, can someone help me?

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
  drive from someone with the same model.

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

  DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
  devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

  I hope this helps.
