Cannot use new my Satellite A40 DVD player

I took on the laptop's DVD-ROM drive and replaced it with the DVD - RW but the laptop it will accept only before the start of WXP. Power gets through to open the drive, but then comes with error # 1 IDE error message. I know from reading some of the other threads that it tells me that the laptop like the drive. Is it possible to get this problem?

I went into the BIOS, but it won't let you change whatever it is a value Exchange. He wants me to change something with the readers.

Help!

IDE1 error occurs if you use the non compatible drive. Unfortunately in the BIOS, you cannot change anything. I think the power is not the problem, but the reader cannot be accepted because the assignment of pins is not the right one.
I don't know who told you to buy this drive, but list of all compatible optical disc readers, you can find in the document of user manuals.

    You can try with below steps if you want:

    Folder Temp light 1).

    (2) close all running Applications.

    (3) close webistes all opened browser.

    (4)disable the firewall temporarily.

    (5) open only Adobe Web site as it is safe and secure site free of all kind of threats.

    (6) then try to download CS 6 Design Standard and check.

    Note: Though the firewall is disabled. do not open applications, files or even other Web sites.

    Or if you think it is still very slow and would not turn off the firewall , you can try with 3' rd party like download managers: IInternet Download Manager , which is more efficient than the browser built in downloader.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - cannot play movies on a Toshiba DVD player

    Hi guys,.

    When I play movies in Toshiba DVD player I get the following error message: "unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after the end of the application. TEMPRO, I installed and tried to install all updates - some of them were for different hardware so wouldn't install.

    I get a similar problem in Windows Media Player "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card. VLC player works fine. The drive otherwise normally functioning.

    It's the same problem, as described in this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=201029&tstart=0, but all the answers are a similar problem with HD DVD on a different model (P200).

    Anyone know how I can fix this problem? I'm not sure I can be bothered to go back and reinstall Vista etc...

    Thank you
    Alex

    Hey Buddy,

    According to the Toshiba DVD Player error message: are you trying to watch DVDs on an external monitor or TV?
    In your case, I will try to reinstall the DVD playback software. This means delete the current version and then restart your computer. Then download and install the latest software from Toshiba DVD player.

    But to be honest: it's that everything works with VLC media player as it s very big and small media player that can play all audio and video files. Isn t it? ;)

  • Re: Satellite A200 - DVD player can read but cannot write

    Hello

    Some time ago my DVD writter has stopped working. I have Windows 7 with the latest toshiba drivers.

    The DVD is very good playback of the inserted cd/dvd, the unit is OK in Device Manager, but when you write a DVD it fails somewhere over 50% with "unknown error."

    I tried Nero and standard windows app.

    What do you recommend?

    Hello

    Did you test different DVD from different manufacturers?
    I had a similar problem in the past and since I use TDK R DVDs and CDs and these discs work correctly.

    I also recommend cleaning the DVD player with alkohole laser lens and the tip of the batting.

  • Satellite A60 DVD Player problems

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A60 (18mths old now) - when I 1st got it the DVD burner was DOA - so I sent off the coast and he had replaced.
    It has worked well since then until recently when the DVD player just wouldn't recognize anything - CD or DVD

    Tried everything with this unit - but at the end of the day understood the drive was gone.

    Another bought a (SD-R6252) and lo-and-this is the same thing happens.

    Each diagnosis that I run says the drive is OK - but there is no disk in it.
    I reinstalled windows from the recovery factory - discs
    Update the BIOS
    Tried to update the firmware of the drive-, but the update said that this was not necessary.

    Tried with Nero, Windows, InterVideo - nothing.

    As it is now a working machine that I can't afford 3 months back in time to send it off and watched it (that's how long it took the last time) and my nearest dealer of Toshiba is in place at the other end of the country.

    Suggestions for things that I can try out would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    The new drive can read CDs but can not burn anything. Am I wrong?
    Or the drive cannot recognize the media that in the Windows operating system?
    You said that you have reinstalled the widows. In this case, you used the drive.

    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager. Restart the unit. Now check if you can use CDs and DVDs

  • Satellite A660 - DVD player does not recognize some DVD

    I have a new Satellite A660-17th with a drive HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N, running under Windows 7 64-bit.

    The reader will read most DVDs. Commercial DVD (region 2) are very good. However, there are problems with the DVD recorded with DVD recorders. Recordings of DVD + R using a Philips machine work very well. DVD + R and DVD - R using a Sony HDX 1095 of RDR machine do not work.

    I hope that the disc is ok and that this problem can be solved by changing some settings or other?
    Any ideas?

    Hey,.

    If commercial DVDs are working properly, it s final related to your own created DVD recorder of DVD.
    It s knows not to adjust something on the DVD player without region code

    In my opinion, you should test different brands of DVD to check which is compatible with all devices.
    My favorite is Verbatim DVD - R TDK also makes good discs

  • SX80 cannot display the performance of the DVD player.

    Received a new VTC system and can not get the system to display or present a DVD media. The Codec recognizes the entry as being a DVD and screens is to share a DVD on HDMI3 but no video appears on the screens the or remote. tested with our VTC admin and he could not see the presentation, or what we could bring a solution to the issue. The DVD player is a new Panasonic DMP-BDT361PS with 4K and Blue-ray. the presentation will play fine when connected directly to the screen but does not appear when connected to the SX80. the SX80 shows that it is a DVD on HDMI3 player but do not local content or remote display. I suspect that the SX80 has problems passing the video DVD. Please notify.

    Videoconferencing equipment cannot not display author protected by HDCP for Blu - Ray, so the output will the SX80 gets hidden and does not appear.

  • Satellite L550 - DVD player-help you need

    Hi all

    I use a computer Satellite L550-10N.

    Question 1 / hand: while watching a movie on DVD yesterday, the computer seems to loose contact with the DVD and did not want to read any more successful after one or two trial. I tried with other DVDs today, and none can be read. This means that the DVD drive is out of service? What should I do next? Has anyone encountered this problem? How to identify the default value? How to repair?

    Issue 2 / secondary: while searching on the internet for similar cases (which I have not yet found), I found some drivers seem old and seem to need a replacement by new. The pilots include network adapter (Inter (R) Wifilink 5100 AGN;) Realtek RTL8102/8103 Familiy PCI-E FE NIC), sound, video and game controller (ATI HDMI Audio; Realteck Audio high definition), System (bridge Intel (R) 82801 PCI-2448) devices and "Device disconnected" (in french) as USB storage device. What will I do with this information?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    I agree with Akuma.
    You should try to remove and delete the upper and lower registry key filters: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Co ntrol\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    But it has been already mentioned in MS. knowledge base article

    Before delete upper and lower filters in the registry, you must delete the ODD (optical disc) in the Device Manager list.
    After that remove the upper and lower filters and restart the device.

  • On Satellite S50D DVD Player - A - 10 L

    Hello

    I bought a S50D satellite - A - 10 L last year and I wonder if it has a DVD player up to now because I didn't need at the time. Today, I want to watch a movie that I had on DVD and surprised there is no button to open the CD/DVD drive.

    Therefore, my question: is there a DVD player on this particular model?
    If there is how to open it and if it is not how it is possible (the seller must tell me...)?

    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    DVD player software or should I say optical drive?
    According to the specifications of the laptop this model PSKKWE offered without optical drive.

  • C50D-B-120 satellite and DVD player

    Hi guys wonder if you can help me. I was given this laptop for Christmas and noticed that it is not built in a dvd player. Is there anywhere I can buy one as I looked all over the internet and can find a?

    Hello

    To be honest I don't know if WEIRD can be added more.
    Some models of C50D have 9.5 MM 8 X DVD SUPERMULTI STRANGE inside, but I don't know exactly what model it could be. Maybe someone with the same machine can help you with this.

    What you can try is to contact the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country and ask for help.
    I'm pretty sure who can check in their database, which model can be used and you can also ask if you can order the plastic for her cover.

    If you do not use the optical disc drive so often good solution is external USB ODD. I also use this STRANGE with my small NB550. This is HP CMB UJ141AF USB key.

  • Satellite U205 - DVD Player problems

    I bought a Satellite U205-S5057 year last with Vista on it. For the first month, all video files burn very well. After that, I downloaded all kinds of codecs and trial versions of DVD burning software just got keep burning DVDs.

    After all downloads, of course, they began to come into conflict. I ran a system recovery and hoped that it would be clean all conflicts. I put some videos on a CD - rw and transferred to my book burning. When I clicked on the D: / he said "D: / no request." Then I re-installed Realplayer on the internet and now it burns in Realplayer 1 out of every 10 tent or if.

    Anyone know why I have so many problems with my CD/DVD drive? In addition, he always says D: / is a DVD player, even when I put a CD. Is this good?

    Hello

    Have you tried to remove the top and bottom of the registry entry filters?
    Not? OK, try this:

    First remove the CD/DVD drive device manager.
    Then, completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  • Satellite A50: DVD player does not read DVD only CD

    On my Satellite A50 DVD drive can only read CDs now but not DVD. So I'm not able to use the recovery disc.
    My BIOS is up to date, I think.

    Hello

    Well, what can I say? For me, this looks like a disk failure.
    Maybe the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive is able to read the CD.
    I don't think that the replacement of disc will help you :(
