DVD multi burner will work - Satellite M30X

My laptop is Satellite M30x. My drive is a multi recorder, but my drive does not work properly. I can not burn DVD or CD, and I can't play some DVD. But I am able to read DVDs and CDs more.

I tried upgrading the firmware from the driver download page, it won't work.

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you

I guess the drive cannot burn DVDs, CD and cannot read some DVDs for some time.
Am I wrong?
It seems that the disk hardware is malfunctioning. In my opinion the lens do not calibrate properly and that's why the drive does not accept media most.

Try following:
-Remove the drive from the Device Manager and reboot the device. After restarting again the operating system must load the driver and should recognize the drive again. You can then check if it works.

-In addition, you can physically remove the drive from the device and start windows. Then stops to the bottom of the laptop and install the drive again. After restarting again the laptop must load the firmware again and maybe he calibrates the new lens.

But if such procedures don't help I think that you need to replace the unit.

  • A60-155 dvd multi burner no longer works correctly

    don't think I've had this laptop for a month yet. the dvd multi drive worked fine, but now it will play only DVDS but not CDs of any kind-it just read more or if she fails to pick up what is cd, it just turns and makes rattling noises. How can I get to recognize the CD and CD-Roms again?
    I tried to uninstall it and now the computer knows it's there, but the shortcut in my computer icon has disappeared, how can I get it back?

    Hello

    What shortcut you mean exactly? It is very strange that, shortly after, the material has this kind of function of failure. You did some changes or something that can be the reason for this? You can burn all types of CD?

    In my opinion, you should try to reinstall the OS using the recovery CD. If there is the same problem again, it may be a defect in the material.

  • EQUIUM A60: dvd multi writer

    I just got this laptop DVD says it's a dvd multi burner, but apparently not read the DVD.
    the guidelines mention 2 packs of software but these are not included with the machine the drive appears as a rug * a dvd - ram uj 820 s it will be with the correct software recording dvd - r and dvd + r and RW of what software I need and save data and digital photos

    Hi mad,

    Can you please write your serial number complete model (e.g. satellite a60 - xxx).

    In any case if you have new laptop it must be almost all preinstallation and your DVD Multi driver should work fine. As far as I know on your laptop is preinstalled burn program called SONIC RECORD NOW.
    You can also use another burning software. In this case, my suggestion is to uninstall the Sonic Software. It is possible that there are some conflicts if there are two applications.

    If you want to backup your data on DVD - RAM you don t need any software. Record does not now support writing DVD-RAM discs. DVD - RAM is like HARD drive. Put Virgin DVD-RAM in your drive, wait a second and copy your data on it. To record data on a DVD-RAM, open Explorer. Do not use of cut-and - paste. If there is some clerical error, the data will be lost.

    If you want to remove your data go to START > programs > DVD-RAM and there is utility that allows you to remove all data from DVD - RAM.

    Lots of useful information, you can find in the user s manual. It must be installed on your machine.

  • DVD drive no longer works Code 10 failure initialization

    My computer is less than two years.  It came with Vista.
    The CD/DVD multi Recorder initially worked, but has stopped working.
    Diagnosis say the drivers are up to date, but there is a problem with the device:
    HL-DT-ST DVDRAM_GSA - H60N ATA.
    I had not used a lot, so it should not really be worn.
    My problem looks like the display by "Jackie", but I noticed that our device numbers are different.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.

  • Satellite M30X: reader will not read the DVD-R data but plays movies in DVD-R and CD

    I have a Toshiba M30X with combi DVD/CDRW drive.
    I have accumulated 12 GB of digital photo I wanted to erase but do not want the number of CDs that can be the so I bought an external DVD LITEON EZ - DUB and made 3 DVD - R burner of plenty of JPEG.
    However, when I put the DVD in the drive of Toshiba combi, it clicks for a moment or two, but when I click on the combi drive in my computer, the folder is empty and it is said there are 0 bytes.
    CD of still works, audio and data, DVD movies fine, reading DVD-R on my Pioneer DVD recorder (for TV - looks like a video/nothing to do with PC) plays very well, but he won't recognise DVD - r with data (JPEG or MP3) on them.

    It makes no difference what software was used (Nero 6.6) and LITEON EZDUB and it's okay if the discs are completed, a single session, multi session or what - it will not play any of them.
    However, these discs work perfectly in my old office to 7 years with a Sony DVD/CDRW combination of 4 years.
    I'm puzzled.
    I don't particularly want to reinstall windows, in the case where it does not recognize the recovery DVDs and I remember Microsoft a Note having activated by phone with a code that is different every time you ask him to generate a.
    It's a bit of pain that I wanted to make my pictures with me in my laptop bag.
    I won't be carting around an external DVD burner just to read the DVD.
    I've updated the firmware for SD - R 2512.
    He had no other effect freeze on a black screen on restart - I had to hold down the switch 15 minutes in this State.
    The laptop is 1 year and 26 days if that counts for anything.

    Anyone have any ideas? Or can I just put up with him.

    Hello

    Well, I can only make suggestions.
    You are able to place files many MP3 and Jpeg on DVD.
    This is perhaps a reason why Explorer cannot handle the DVD.

    Try to burn the DVD with photo JEPG, but do not have the full DVD with these files.
    You must leave a free space on the media. Maybe it helps.

    But it's very strange for me and it's just a suggestion. I've never tired it and don't know if it helps.
    I had a similar problem on my laptop but I solved using compatible media. Some readers prefer different media for different types of files.

  • Satellite M30X: Burning data DVD from HDD

    I have a Satellite M30x and have recently tried to burn a DVD to free up space on a HARD drive crowded with data.

    Windows cannot perform this task, and unfortunately Toshiba have not provided/installed software do it either.

    Nero burning rom, which was provided only seems capable of burning CDs and even then, it continuously saves files without actually burning them!

    Help!

    Hello

    As far as I know that your unit should have super-multi drive which allows you to record all formats. If the unit is pre-installed with recovery media, you will find an application called Record Now! You can use it to burn data but Nero is very good application and there should not be any problem.

    Before you want to choose the data and start the process of engraving you select on which media data should be burn (CD or DVD). Under Option more check if the option write is enabled. I hope that option that simulation is disabled.

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s does not work in Satellite M30X 122

    Hello!

    I am owner of a Satellite M30X - 122 Notebook with Mat * one reader CD DVD-RAM UJ-820 s.

    In recent weeks the disc suddenly stops working during normal use, no error message, in Windows XP System Device Manager all entries are ok, the drive is enabled and visible.
    !! Optical media access LED lites permanently, so that the reader is always available!
    I have tried using different CD, reboot Notebook, removing battery State is always the same, LED blinks several times then it lites permanent.
    After a few hours this phenomenon disapperars and I can use the drive without any problems. ! It is very annoying!

    Someone at - it experience with this problem? Please let me know.

    Don't you think that the drive needs to be replaced?
    In this case (I tried a Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-820 s on the www, I found none just renovated, new readers) does anyone know where to get a new, or a compatible UJ-820 s drive.

    Thanks in advance.
    Have a good evening.

    Hello

    I don't know where you live and can not recommend any PC shop but you can order it by the authorized service partner.

    You can also view s manuals for Satellite M30X, and page 5, you will find a list of all compatible optical disk drives. Do not buy the same but much better if you want. I hope that this info will help you find the new drive.

    Troubleshooting I can't say a lot. Try to remove the device from Device Manager and reboot the device and test again but with original media only. Make sure that you can see the contents of the CD or DVD using Windows Explorer.

    If nothing is done check for replacement.

    Hello

    How to help you if you don't mention what CD cannot be burned (original music CD, homes burned CDs, just specific producers, only some files are not readable). Give us more info on this issue.

    Check a little better, and if there is no success is perhaps the defective drive. It is well known that some CD (a cheaper) cannot be burned properly.

  • Carpet * Combo DVD player does not work on Satellite M30X

    I have a Satellite M30X with a combo DVD player.
    My drive I ve formatted, then I installed the readers on the recovery cd and one existing on the toshiba web site and the reader to continue to not be able to write on DVD´s.

    The installed drive is: mast * a DVD-ram UJ - 831 s.

    I used to be able to write all kinds of DVD.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hello

    > I then installed readers on the recovery cd and one existing on the toshiba web site
    Do you mean the DVD-RAM driver?

    As far as I know using DVD-RAM disks in the DVD MULTI drive, data can be written so that the function to write data on discs CD-R/RW standard Windows XP is enabled.

    Then please check if the check CD option activate called this roll
    CD / DVD-> properties-> recording tab
    is enabled or disabled

    By the way; After using the recovery CD, you don't need to install additional drivers. The restore CD contains all the necessary drivers including an important run Notepad correctly.

  • What internal DVD +/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304

    Can someone give me an answer to what internal DVD +/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304.

    I said a CSD-6012 or DVD +/-RW UJ-820 might work.

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Lee

    Hello

    Have you checked the manual of the Satellite P10?
    Sometimes, compatible CD/DVD players are in the user manual that must be installed on your laptop.
    If you n t have the user manual, then you can download from the Toshiba page.

    However, if you don't get the right info in the user's manual then I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for details.
    Usually, you can order a player taken in charge of these guys here.

    It is important that you know which drives are compatible because of the different master\slave\c-salt settings.

    Bye and good luck

  • Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned

    I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?

    Hello

    @Magnus:
    Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
    In addition, this burning program did you use?
    I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
    What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc.

  • Satellite Pro A100: Mat * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi drive does not

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a carpet * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi Drive.

    Recently, I decided that as my laptop is running slowly I wanted to format and reinstall XP Pro, I used a standard version of OEM XP Pro (not seller specfic) and he went on the formatting and the reconstruction of my laptop.

    Fortunately, I used Acronis True Image to backup my laptop before I did that my above mentioned dvd player is so more to bury properly (all the drivers and the necessary software has been installed). Before I formatted the laptop I could burn on + and - DVD (r, rw and ram) now that the laptop has been rebuilt, I can only burn to dvd-r/rw/ram.

    I restored from my laptop to the picture created by Acronis and can use the drive normally again to burn + and - DVD.

    Does anyone know why this would have stopped working in the new installation of Windows? I also tried to create a virtual machine using the same xp disc but it always gives me the problem of dvd player.

    Thank you
