CD writer malfunction

I have a desktop PC 400 xps age of 2 years. Had no problem burning CD until recently. (burning CDs a lot through iTunes program) Now internal E-reader does not read discs or reading. Tried to reinstall and download the update by car. Did not help. Burner is simply dead or can it be solved without replacing them. If he is dead, can I get an external burner and use via USB?  Need help!

  • DVD Writer R6112 malfunction

    Hi guys... I want to just say thank you in advance to anyone who tries to help me on this one.

    I have Toshiba Satellite M30-106 and I meet countless problems with the DVD burner (firmware 1332 R6112 I think). Because I do not use the writing of DVD that I only realized the problem recently. When you use Orange Top Bulkpaq disks or Datawrite writer creates discs as if nothing is wrong, but then cannot read his own creations.

    However, other readers may read but normally not very well. I tried to find the firmware updates, but they seem not to be for the review, I had.

    Can anyone help? What is the media I am using or is there something wrong with my drive? Is there a list of media that will certainly work? I am reluctant to send my laptop for Toshiba because I don't want to run the risk of data loss and I can't save!

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should first try to use a few different media to see if there is some problem with some specific blank CD or DVD. It will also be interesting to know if you have a problem with the original CD or DVD that you can buy in shops.

    I don't know what burning software you use, but also try to use another or try to burn CDs using Windows engraving option.

    If the problem is still there that there may be a serious problem. In this case, you must contact the service partner. All your data, you can try to save on an external device, such as external HARD disk or USB key.

    Good bye

  • Re: Tecra A10 - 18 M - writes a key without pressing again and again

    Hi all

    I have the laptop Tecra A10 - 18M.
    The OS is Ubuntu 10.04, but the problem also occurs with Windows XP.

    I have problems with my keyboard. From time to time (once a day), a single character (r) written without pressing the key.

    When I press "r" key nothing happen. When I write a digit (1-9) or around the 'r' key (e, f, t,...) he began writing of many 'r' again and again.
    This stops by pressing the keys on the keyboard with the flat hand and a bit of strength.

    I think that there is a broken cable?
    Someone has a similar problem?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    Sounds like a keyboard or keyboard cable malfunction...

    But just to be sure: did you notice the same problems with external keyboard?

  • Cannot read and write CD/DVD on Satellite Pro L40 - 17F

    I have problems with my laptop (model: Satellite Pro L40 - 17F Cel - M 540 1.83/1GB/120GB 15.4).
    I have problems with the dvd player. When I got the laptop I managed to install a few things but now - on a two weeks later, I can't read or write CDs or DVDs.

    I checked many solutions to fix but does not work. I uninstalled the driver and restarted my computer and it reinstalled the same as that which does not once again.

    Please help me!

    Hi mate,

    may I ask what fire you´ve applications installed on your machine? I ask for the following reason:

    Several installed burning applications may interfere each other, so could not stop the drive works properly.
    Please, try the following:
    Find somewhere a linux cd or something that you can start from, and then try to start and when the disc turns and starts him CD then you know that your problem is not hardware partners, it s more a problem located somewhere in your Windows operating system.

    If the player wouldn even turn or start the inserted media then you know that the reader has some hardware malfunction and must be replaced.
    I guess you still have a warranty on your machine, if yes, then contact the nearest authorized service provider in your country and tell them your problem.
    They are able to help you and solve this problem.

    Welcome them

  • CD drive does not write CD

    Help me please! My Player CD does not write CD, but it can always clean CD - RW. What should I do?

    You should try to use different media spaces (various manufacturers). If the situation is the same, it might also lead to malfunction.

    I have installed the latest driver but no luck. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    This problem appears since day one?

    I ask because it looks like a hardware malfunction, to me it seems that the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive can read and write DVDs.
    What burning software do you use?
    For the most part a burning like Nero program provides an error message if the burning process failed

  • Qosmio F20 - 110 Cd writer problem.

    _Hello All_

    Bear with me please im new to these boards. I have a problem with my Qosmio F20-110. It works with Media Center 2005 Edition and Im having problems with the CD burner. Everytime I try to produce an audio cd it will burn the first two songs and then spit the disk. Ive tried to change the write speed and various manufacturers of disc. Ive tried a lot of different software, but nothing helped. I'd appreciate any advice on this question because Im starting to think it's a hardware fault. I activated the record cd in D drive properties and still no joy.

    Help please.

    > I'd love any advice on this issue because I'm starting to believe that it is a hardware failure of m.
    It's my first idea too
    Everything looks like a hardware problem.

    To be honest, something like this can happen. Sooner or later readers may work because of a handset, mechanical stress.
    In most cases, the laser lens is malfunctioning and cannot calibrate properly.

    I think that a replacement is necessary

  • Satellite L500D - can't read/write DVD

    Hello

    About a fortnight ago my DVD drive stopped reading/burning DVD and now only times/burns CD I followed the guides to remove the upper and lower filters and reformatted my laptop to factory State and the DVD player does not work.

    I bought a new replacement drive, and is not reading the DVD either so im assuming that my original DVD player worked but there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop itself?

    I bought the laptop in November ' 09 so it is still under warranty or is there anything else I can try?

    See you soon

    Hi mitchello,.

    > and reformatted my laptop to the factory of the State and the DVD drive has failed.
    If you have tested with factory settings and it still doesn t work it s hardware malfunction but it strange why s it doesn t work with a new disk

    What program you use to read or write DVDs? I can recommend the VLC to play all the multimedia content and CD Burner XP Media Player like burning program. Both programs are freeware and works perfectly. Never had a problem with these tools.

    Have you bought a new drive to an authorized service? I ask this question because not all readers are compatible with all mobile phones due to the assignment of the different pins. If the new drive does not work you can return it for a replacement.

  • How I WRITE VISA to 2 devices of a while loop?

    Hello

    I have developed a fairly complex vi that reads data from two sensors and controls SERIES written to two engine controllers.  The idea is to send the engine controls more or less "simultaneously", and they are generally not the same commands.  The two motor controls are determined by the sensor input with each iteration of the WHILE loop and subsequently sent to the VISA WRITE motor controller.  I was getting an errors and failures with the vi, then, we decided to break up and test the components individually.  In the original vi, I had two sets of VISA OPEN, WRITE, NEAR wired inside the WHILE loop and he sent two orders for both engines successfully.

    The test code I have attached here, "simple VISA speed controller rev1.vi" has the VISA sequence configured around the loop according to the advice of OR.  He suggested that the VISA OPEN and CLOSE while loop and wiring outside the VISA two WRITE such as shown.  However, in this configuration, only the command of the CHANNEL 3 runs.  The CHAIN 1 command does not run.  The string ' / 1V...» "engine controls 1, and" / 3V... " "engine controls 3.  So, by changing the 1 and 3, I order two this vi engines, but only, the chain is the first VISA WRITE running effectively, regardless of the engine is selected in the order of the string.  There is no malfunction of the motor or wiring, and I order the two motors separately using the software provided with the manufacturer of the motor controller, therefore, the hardware has been confirmed to work properly.  I use NI USB-RS232 to send the string on the motors controllers.  Motor controllers are connected in Garland, and each has a switch address so 1 engine knows how to respond to ' / 1V...» «and the engine with the value '3' address switch responds to ' / 3V...» "etc.

    The other code attached here, "simple VISA speed controller 2 motors.vi" sends the two commands at the same time.

    So, why the second VISA WRITE does not work the '... rev1.vi '?

    Thank you

  • Re-Activation as a result of a hardware malfunction

    Hi guys I write here because I had trouble getting in touch with a real person to solve this problem by phone.

    I recently had a malfunction of the PSU that fried half of the components in my office (including my HARD drive). I had to update all my components and re-install my version of windows 7 Home premium. Of course, my registry key is currently still attached to my dead PC, can someone tell me how I should go about solving it?

  • NTFS write stopped working in Sierra

    I use a Toshiba external hard drive formatted in NTFS.

    Since the upgrade to Sierra, I can't write to this disk.

    I have written before, as I used it exclusively with my Mac.

    I have a Macbook Pro Retina early 2013.

    What should I do to solve the problem of writing?

    Given that OSX has never been able to write in native mode on volumes formatted as NTFS, you almost certainly use some type of NTFS driver to make possible previously, something like Paragon or Tuxera or similar

    OSX updates tend to break these drivers and you need to find an update for those pilots who works on the Sierra.

    You will need to identify which driver you are using for this first.
