• Equium L20-198 - can only read DVD but no CD

  My DVD-Rom/COM reader only reads CDs and DVDs. Can someone please tell me if I need a new drive or if it is a software problem?

  If I need a new disk, can I use a generic and what would be the part number?

  Thank you.

  Hi mate,

  Have you tried different CDs? Perhaps that some CDs are scratched and t can be read properly.

  Also, I had a similar problem and the reason was that it was dust on the lens. I used a cloth to clean microfiber and after that, it was possible to reread my drive! :)

• Re: Satellite C660-125 DVD player can't read DVD

  Hi guys

  I have a C660-125 and its developed a problem with the DVD player. It can read CDs and burn fine CD, but it won't read or burn DVDs at all.

  I used a laser cleaner, I also googled firmware but can't find anything for her.

  Any ideas what is wrong with it?

  The model is TS-L633

  > I used a laser cleaner, I also googled firmware but can't find anything for her.

  I cleaned my alcohol BIZARRE or cotton tip laser lens and it worked like a charm. In your case worth a try too.

  In addition if an ODD firmware would be available, then you should find it on the European driver Toshiba page.
  I checked, but did not find a firmware for TS-L633 means that this firmware update is not necessary.

  But I found this Toshiba document:
  _ODD firmware update to solve problems with the Toshiba creator_ recovery CD
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9C02RP0000R01.htm

  But beware: the document contains files different firmware for TS-L633 on different sides. If your ODD is not on the list, don t try update firmware for your ODD would harm to the use of the firmware is not compatible!
