  • Slim SelectBay DVD - ROM drive

    I recently bought a second hand Satellite Pro, but it seems to be without a DVD player and has only a weight saving plastic 'trick' in the Slim Selectbay.
    I know that my laptop is now discontinued, but it is anyway to acquire a Slim SelectBay DVD - ROM drive, because they are not for sale in the "Accessories" section.

    Hi Mikey

    In my opinion, you should contact partner in your country. They can order each hardware component or any part of the accessories for each model of laptop computer independent of how old the model has.

    Discs recorded on DVD + RW not reading no problem in my other internal DVD players, but when I try to play them on my DVD-Rom on the PC, I get a message "disc not recognized", even though I have set up the record to be compatible with other players.

  • Satellite P20 DVD ROM drive may not be recognized

    Hello

    I just replaced my DVD ROM drive, but I had a problem.
    It is a new DVD rom drive I ordered at TOSHIBA also.
    It could not be detected by Windows:
    -Tried to check on Device Manager, not detected
    -Tried to reload the driver, the same problem
    Note:
    Whenever I tried to re - insert the disc, the blue light in the control panel of my P20 beds (I understand, which means that the P20 detects the drive) but I don't understand, is that why Windows XP does not detect it or it does not alarm or error messages.

    Any help?

    Thank you

  • Qosmio G30 - DVD-ROM drive has stopped working

    I have a Qosmio G30 age of 3 years and the DVD - ROM drive has stopped working.

    He still pulls in, but it will not read or burn discs.

    I received a quote of £360 Toshiba to adapt to a new one that seems generous.

    Anyone know where I could get it fixed cheaper than you?
    Or better yet... anyone know where I can I get it fixed?

    David Hutchinson

    Hello
    This is not an answer to your question but can solve the problem if it is the same that I had.
    In my case, the drive tries to spin but it slips. Only the motor shaft rotates and the drive remains at low revolutions that were not even stationary.
    The problem was caused by the fact that the plastic part (black color) of the mechanism which engages the disc (CD or DVD) slips on the
    motor drive, axle and th couldn't do a full rotation or runs at the specified speed.
    The solution is to delete the article in plastic and put a small amount of super glue on the axle and then put it back.

    Where there is a similar issue, I hope that solve you it like I did.

  • HD DVD - ROM driver is missing or corrupt on Satellite A200-s 23

    Hi, recently I bought my Toshiba Satellite A200-23 s and now it says that the HD DVD-ROM driver is missing or currupted. The system can not see DVD - ROM. My laptop is still under warranty, but perhaps I can fix it somehow? I found the list of drivers on this site but you've not seen DVD - ROM drivers.
    Thank you

    Don t think that it s a hardware problem.
    I think that it s a registry problem.

    Access 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}

    Reboot the laptop.

  • Satellite L300 - 1 4 PSLB8E - cannot open the CD/DVD ROM drive

    Hi, Bérard

    So I have a problem with cd/dvd rom drive.
    After that I updated with the last computer driversmy, the player can not open:(j'ai fais redémarre et c'est le même...) When I press the drive button to open, it flashes orange led for two or three times and nothing happens, the drive is always busy.

    Before reinstalling with the old windows version of the drivers worked well, but that sometimes it did not work... and now it's doing nothing all the time.

    Is my windows 7 x 64, updated drivers to update yesterday. Can someone help me?

    Hello

    You can find a small hole near the CD/DVD to eject the drive.

    Put a small card or PIN in this hole and the CD/DVD drive should eject manually.

    In my case, it always helps.

    Good luck

    Hi Robert,.

    You have loaded the device appropriate for the new device drivers? They should be available on the Toshiba web site.

    It should also check that the old device is removed from Device Manager and then restart the laptop. The new optical drive should then be detected during the boot process.
