Drive DVD - RW does not properly on the Satellite A40-702

It's on my lap top of Toshiba Satellite SA-40-702. Five years ago.
Hi, I have looked at the wires for this problem and have not been able to identify a similar thread yet.

My dvd - rw play a purchased audio music cd and it will also work with disks that came with the laptop. S something works well... However, recently I tried to burn a piece of music (from i-tunes) and he showed in white, but strangeley the cd did play the piece of music OK in a machine at work. I tried now to show some other discs that I recorded on this laptop in January, and they now show that the discs and I cannot see their content (they were photos and text documents). They worked before.

I have this weekend made many attempts of 30 photos of burn, and I tried two different brands of dvd discs blank, but even if the laptop says 'burning to disc' etc when I try to view the burned disc, there is nothing on it!

I wonder if anyone has any suggestions please. I tried to clean the blue eye with a brush hairs inside the drawer of the dvd, that's why I expect that the next step may be just to buy a few more recent records?

Hello

My personal opinion is; the reader cannot process the community burned due to the stressed out laser lens. It turns out that your laptop and the drive is older than 5 years.
I put t know how the drive has been used in recent years, but due to the long period of possible use of s that the lens cannot read data from the CD/DVD now.

This is not unusual. My brother s book can not read the CD/DVD that were burned a year ago, I presume that it of the same reason the s drive laser lens problem

Hmm you don t have many possibilities, you can try to burn these discs with another computer/laptop and then could check if you red the data.
The last option would replace the drive

  • Driver Chicony webcam does not work on the Satellite A200-13O

    After the misfortune that occurred to my webcam, I tried to fix it by uninstalling the driver and then put it back in place (by the toshiba Web site).
    I did this twice and it does not work,
    allthought the pc installed the driver, the camera was not working because a file was for win95 and my pc has vista.

    After several reboots, I made the following
    -Start
    -all programs
    -camera assistant software
    -Right click
    -options (the last button in the right click menu...)
    -compatibility
    -Select work in win95 compatibility

    I hope this could help those in despair...

    Hello

    Yes I would like some details;).

    For example: manufacturer who is the camera, it is built, made, he has worked previously, and so on...

    So there is a lot to say, have you ever said to the second part, but I'm missing a few things as I've described above. By the way: you can try to recover your machine, if you really need on your camera, but it is really the LAST RESORT.

  • WLan / WiFi works does not properly on the Satellite C55C-C-16f

    Hello

    I just bought the laptop toshiba Toshiba Satellite C55C-C-16f mentioned in the title, and there seems to be something wrong with the WiFi adapter.

    Sometimes it connects to the WiFi, but most often, when I start the computer (whether by or stand when it is off), it finds no network and cannot connect to my WiFi router. Usually, when I restart the computer all of a sudden does ot connects to the network. I tried the filming of standard Windows problems, but it can not find problems or repair.

    I hope you can help!

    Best regards

    I just have the same problem with my new ray. If I have more than 2 m from the router, the reception is 1 bar. Most often the laptop can't find any network.

  • My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers.

    My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers, most of the time.  Every now and then it will be visible and I can use it but 90% of the time it does not exist.  I tried the regedit fix, nothing.  I tried the program Microsoft Fix It, it tells me it cannot locate a DVD/ROM.  I removed, cleaned and reinserted my DVD/ROM drive, but no difference.  I tried everything, except the upgrade to Windows 7... who will be my last resort.

    Hello gargoyle28m,

    If your hardware is not detected to upgrade to Windows 7 is not a resolution. This issue may be caused if the DVD drive is faulty or connections loose on the mother board. You may need to check the connections. I suggest you check if the DVD drive works on another computer. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help you with this problem.

    Hello Deltadiver,

    Thank you for your message.  Have you downloaded/installed the latest driver for your computer?  Access the manufacturer's Web site and search for your type of computer, from there, you will need to get the latest driver for your CD/DVD-ROM drive, make sure the driver you get is for Microsoft XP.  Please let us know if you have trouble with this and we can help you further.

  • Drive DVD W520 does not not with Windows 10

    After the upgrade to Windows 10, the DVD drive no longer reads disks on the W520. It still works under Linux, so it's probably a driver issue. I checked the drivers on the Lenovo site and there is no DVD driver. The power player and opens but nothing is read off the drive. It does not appear in 'my computer '. Device Manager shows the drive with a caution triangle icon. Attempt to automatically update the pilot says that is already the newest one installed. Solutions Center Lenovo says that the driver is disabled. Deactivation and reactivation of the reader do nothing. How can I solve this problem?

    Looking for more in the Device Manager, I found that there is a registry error (code 19). Follow this guide and it fixed it.

  • XML with a member does not properly in the data model

    I use XmlDataAccess class to load an XML list in GroupDataModel. Everything works fine if the XML file has more than one Member, however, it does not load if the list contains a single member. I use the following code to get the XML content:

    QVariant list = xda.load(home.absoluteFilePath("MembersList.xml"),"/members/member");
    

    I need to know if the list has only one or 2 + members, so I can direct the data model to load with the appropriate settings. Can I know the number of members in the list?

    This problem is closely related to this question, where a solution QML is given.

    Hi Mitch99,

    Please see this forum post for a workaround for this problem. I tested it and confirm that it works as with QML.

  • 2.60 BIOS does not work on the Satellite A200 - 22 c

    Hi all

    I made the mistake to Flash my old bios Satellite A200 - 22 c (PSAE6E) to the new version 2.60.

    As I did this, the keyboard does not work on the bios screen, so I am unable to manage anything in the BIOS.

    When Windows Vista 32B starts the first time, the keyboard does not work. If I close the session and then I it again, it works correctly.

    The touchpad is lost and I need to use a USB mouse. Is not a pilot cause problem, all the drivers are updated and are working properly.

    The question is: why Toshiba didn't allow users to download the old version of the BIOS? ¿WHERE or who do I contact to get the original BIOS? Why do the flashing utility make a backup of the OLD BIOS and then does not give you the ability to recover it?

    Please, help me to recover the original BIOS to retrieve my keyboard and my touchpad because I can´t find any message or anything like that to get in touch with the technical support of this web site.

    Thank you!

    Which version was old BIOS?

    By the way: you can contact Toshiba. They have access to the Archives of BIOS and they can provide you with older version of BIOS.

    Hello

    What cell phone do you have?

    I imagine that your laptop comes with XP and now want to use it with Vista OS.
    Please note that you should install the Package Toshiba Vista value added to use all the features of the laptop.
    Very important is the pilot of common components and the TOSHIBA Flash Cards.
    The Flashcards provides the Hotkey function and function of pitcher who starts the Hotkey function.
    Please reinstall!

    The additional touchpad functionality must be configured first.
    This can be done in the control panel-> mouse

    Here, you should look for the touchpad settings and able to configure touchpad again scroll areas.

  • DVD player does not appear error - the driver may be corrupted or missing. Code 39, fix the driver installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

    Original title: drive does not appear, difficulty he pilot installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

    A few weeks ago, as my two DVD players (the two Samsung Lightscribe SH-S223Q of) disappeared after a repair installed, I did for the other problems (not sure if it was directly after installation because I don't notice it right away, but it was no doubt). In Device Manager, it gives the message:

    "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

    I tried the Microsoft Fix It tool (Mats_Run.dvd.exe) that detects the problem and says "Install device driver" in a popup, but then he says "software device driver failed to installed. At the end it says under the issue, the "CD/DVD drive is not detected" and the status of Fix 'not set '. Note that, when I boot from another hard drive (with Vista 64 on it installed from the same DVD, just a new installation) disks appear very well. Also I can boot from the drive as well.

    I can't do a repair installation, since it must initiate Windows, and I can't load the disc. I tried to update my BIOS but that has no effect.

    Recently I actually moved this hard drive to another one, with another brand of hard drive and all the rest. Just like before, if I boot from another hard drive (this one with Windows 7), the drive unit-a Optiarc AD-7230 s - looks and works, and I can also boot from the drive at startup. But since the drive hard as I want to use, the drive does not appear. Fix it, etc. Device Manager gives the same messages as before.

    I tried virtual drives - Daemon Tools Lite and Virtual Clonedrive. When I try to add virtual devices to help, nothing happens. The new drive will be displayed in the Manager of devices, but with the same error Code 39 as the real drive.

    What are my options at this point? How can I get the drive to appear or to fix my copy of Windows?

    I could solve this problem. I started in Ubuntu and deleted the existing cdrom.sys, cdrom.inf etc. files (as in Windows, they were protected and I couldn't delete them), then I copied the files from another installation of Vista I had on another hard drive. After having done that, I updated the drivers in device, disabled/enabled readers and readers management that presented themselves.
