Can activate a Satellite L40 DVD burner

I recently bought a Satellite L40 (Vista Home) which came with a Pioneer DVD burner. The problem I have is that the player is currently disabled and that any attempt to activate the device fails.

Can someone advise a solution because I can't use the drive as it is?
Thanks in advance.

What exactly do you mean by saying that the player is currently disabled?

Have you checked the Device Manager and the status of the CD/DVD driver?
Do you see yellow exclamation points?

However, no matter if a yellow exclamation point appears or not, you should try to remove the CD/DVD drive device manager and must restart the laptop.
Finally, the Windows operating system should recognize a new device and should reinstall the CD/DVD drive.

Hope this short procedure will help you get the job of CD/DVD drive.

I appreciate feedback ;) cheers

    The following readers must be compatible with the Satellite A30:
    -Matsu * a CD-RW/DVD-ROM UJDA740,.
    DVD-RAM UJ-810,
    -DVD-ROM SR - 8177

    -DVD-R/RW SD - R6012

  • Satellite C850D - DVD burning problem

    Four months ago, I bought a laptop C850D - 12 L to replace my laptop computer another death.

    A couple of days, I tried to burn on a DVD jpg files; I had not done this before on the new machine.
    Everything seems fine until she reach the finishing process and the disk does not end.

    I tried to fire using Windows own engraving option, Nero and I even downloaded Ashampoo Burning Studio, but whenever I get the same results, i.e. nothing gets burned on a disc. I wasted 12 discs already try all variants of files, engraving, programs, etc., but each of them fails.

    I don't think it's the drive, I think it's a software problem, because * I am able to burn files to a CD *. The player plays also bought the DVD shop so that the part of okay - it's just finish burned DVD that is the problem.

    I downloaded a few programs that may have affected things, (Nero was already on the laptop when I bought it), they are: VLC player and DVD Styler - I downloaded them only that Windows 8 has no creation of DVD as Windows 7 programs don't.

    I phoned John Lewis, where I bought the PC, but they were not able to help, nor were Toshiba, who said it must be a software problem and asked me if I would like to speak to someone else for advice, even if it would cost me. seeing that I have a two year warranty on it, I refused.

    Drivers from the DVD were dated 2006 and a search inside the Device Manager said that these are the latest drivers.

    I went to the website of Toshiba and found a zip file driver, which has been updated in 2013. I downloaded which, to reveal the ten files, three of which are uncompressed application files. I tried to run all three of the latter with no apparent effect. I even tried to search these files when you try to update DVD drivers in Device Manager, but he acknowledged not all ten driver files (mentioned above), even though I copied these to a more convenient location in My Documents folder.

    I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how I can solve this problem.

    Best regards, Martin.

    > I don't think it's the drive, I think it's a software problem, because I am able to burn files to a CD.

    I think you use not entirely compatible DVD disks.
    It was my problem burning DVD disc.

    Recommend test you the discs DVD-R from different manufacturers but I had the best experience using R TDK and Verbatim DVD R

    PS: Windows system using common Microsoft CD/DVD driver. This is why there is no special driver for optical disc player sound is always part of the system.

    After much research, I heard to reset the cmos.
    I have treid through debugging and nothing happened. I really don't want to open the laptop and remove the cmos battery or leave it for a month until the battery runs.

  • Can I get my Satellite L40 repaired without warranty

    Is - it there anyway that I can get my Satellite L40 repaired now the warranty is exhausted?
    I looked at the Services guarantee customer Toshiba but £159,85 it's more that I have can we afford right now.

    Hello

    Well, the fact is that you will pay for the repair if the guarantee is no longer valid.
    So now the question is; What role could malfunction if your motherboard is faulty then the remedy would be a costly affair because the motherboard is one of the portable computer expensive parties.

    You can also contact some laptop technicians in your city, but most often the original Toshiba parts are needed and must be ordered directly from Toshiba.

    Therefore, in my view the authorized service partner would be the best solution

  • Portege A100 - problems recognizing a new DVD burner

    Hello

    I'm looking to replace the Panasonic/Matsu * player UJDA750 combo with a LiteOn SOSW - 852S DVD burner. The LiteOn is CSEL and is not recognized by the Portege A100. I tried to change the master/slave/CSEL and Inverse CSEL using E2MS_WIN_SOSW - 852 S .exe (in an Acer Travelmate 220, which sees all configurations), but the Portege A100 still does not recognize LiteOn.

    I ran IDEDIAG using a WinME boot CD and the Matsu * a Combo drive in Portege reports as secondary master. So, I tried flashing the drive LiteOn (using the Acer Travelmate platform) with MTKFlash version 183 c using the a command? "mtkflash 3 w/b PRS9.bin" (using the original firmware of saved), '3' to change the drive to the secondary master. I came across problems here - the flash appears to hang. The drive is always ok, however. I flashed it back to the original ok CSEL using E2MS program in Acer.

    I have not tried bridging the pins 45 to 47 on the LiteOn - I thought maybe it was a last resort.
    -Can help you with the correct configuration for a CD/DVD drive in the Portege A100? There are a bunch of different ones - primary, secondary, tertiary, Quarternary master/slave and CSEL and Inverse CSEL. Portege A100 'sees' the Matsu * a CDROM model CR-176_B of Acer.

    Or - can you recommend me a DVD burner for this laptop?

    Hello

    The evolution of the master/slave/c-salt settings is not recommended and tell the truth I put t know if its possible. I presume that it of not possible to Flash these settings on medium power.
    In my opinion it doesn't make any sense to do.
    This procedure may damage the drive. Maybe you will not be able to use this drive more and more you will void the warranty!

    I think it s better to buy a compatible device and supported as trying to drive not compatible flash.

    Did you check your user manual? Usually the user manual should provide information on compatible CD/DVD players and supported.
