DVD RAM DISC PA 3231U-1DV1 DEFECTIVE?

Hi have just received this drive as an update for the CD Rom on my TECRA S1 drive.

My problem is that the yellow Led indicator on the side of the car is permanently on if I have no DVD in the player. Anyone else have this drive and I have this problem? It also will not read standard CD at all.
Is this a driver issue!
Looking at all however stupid suggestions that I can miss what is obvious.

Richard.

  • DVD recorder is not read/write discs DVD-RAM on Satellite A200-1GH

    Hello!!

    I have the problem as the topic - my DVD drive is not read/write DVD-RAM discs (recorder: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N). Unfortunately, there is no any drivers (more recent than I've got) for this recorder on the Toshiba, not even site on LG or Microsoft. What should I do?

    Greetings

    Hello

    To be honest, it's quite strange. If the laptop is preinstalled with recovery image, it should work. I tested it on my laptop 5 minutes ago and it works. The DVD-RAM disc is readable and different documents can be saved on the disk too.

    Do you use your own installation of OS, or you still have some factory settings?

  • Satellite M40X-126: disk blocks when the DVD-RAM has been inserted

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite M40X-126 with a super multi drive installed. I have a problem with writing to DVD-RAM. Sometimes, when I try to write data to a DVD-RAM disc, the DVD player makes a strange noise, as if the mechanic of material is blocked inside the car. The laptop will not write any data on him and he doesn't notch in this noise. And I can't open the drive, because it is blocked by the software. And windows is blocked as well, I can't do anything. The only thing I can do, is stopped the laptop by pressing the power on button a few seconds.

    I do not think, it is a software problem. I have installed all the necessary drivers (UDF) is installed correctly. And DVD - RAM writing runs smoothly most of the time. But I have every 5 times I insert a DVD-RAM disc makes it drive this strange noise and everything is blocked.

    My disc is damaged? Who has the same behavior?

    Thank you

    Hi Reto

    I have the same drive, but it works without problem. I know that DVD-RAM media are expensive, but all I can suggest is you buy another provider and check if it will happen again.

    My laptop seems to have decided to stop reading data disks.
    However, there is no problem with the audio CD, but when I insert a data disc such as the software considers the disk is empty and try to format the drive.
    I searched internet day for solutions and tried without success to the following:

    Removed the UpperFilters and LowerFilters in the registry.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers.
    Bought DriverWhiz (waste of money!)
    Tried to access disc command prompt that generated the message "incorrect function".
    Tried to use the enforcement function and access an exe file that I know is on the disk, but it comes up saying I need to format the drive

    I even thought it might be something to do with the MagicVirtual drive I had installed so I uninstalled completely which
    I uninstalled real player

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s do not read or burn discs

    Hi, I'm Natalie and I need help with my problem that occurs.

    Operating system:
    Windows XP Home Edition
    Laptop Toshiba Satellite
    Model A75-S229
    Multi recorder drive: CD and DVD

    The problem that happens is that I can not get any CD or DVD to work when I put them. What is happening is he's trying to load but makes the window "Not responding", unless I have the disc, then everything will be fine. What is also involved, is that I can't burn discs at all, at any speed.

    Also, I would add, when I go to my computer > right click on the DVD - RAM drive > properties and under the general tab it states:

    Type: CD player
    file system: unknown

    I don't know if that's the problem...

    Can someone help me?

    HI Isabelle.

    Please check in the Device Manager to see if there is a problem with your optical drive. Normally this will be displayed as an exclamation point against the device.

    The fact that the file system is listed as "unknown" is because the drive could not read the format of the disc so that Windors Explorer cannot identify any file structure.

    Your problem could be something very simple like a lens dirty or a faulty device driver. It is not easy to tell from your description exactly what can be wrong, but I would say you try some of the easy options so try first to clean the lens, and if this does not resolve your problem, then try to remove the drive (Device Manager) and reboot for the device will be installed new.

    If all else fails, you will have checked player be an authorized Service partner.

    Kind regards

  • Re: Satellite A210-12U: Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-8505 will not read discs - error Code 39

    Hello.

    I've had my A210-12U for about five months now, and recently for the past few months I had some problems with the dvd player.

    The thing is that the player will not play all discs, the drive will detect that a disc has been inserted, but it will not read. It happened for about a month but its only recently I really know whats been wrong with it.

    The drive I currently use is a CARPET * A DVD - RAM UJ-8505 ATA

    I scanned the disk for problems with the support toshiba but utility that came with something so I decided to check the drivers.

    Windows Vista gave this Message: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    I uninstalled the drivers and drivers on there and installed new ones that I downloaded here on the toshiba site.

    What I really want to know is: is this a problem with the drivers? is it a case that the operating system does not detect the hardware? or is this a situation where I should have the disk fixed on its guarantee?

    was soon Dan

    Hello

    Don t worry buddy I put t think that it s a hardware problem. It looks like a corrupted registry entry and it should be solved easily

    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}
    and restart the laptop

    Hi all

    I have a laptop Tecra A8 with Mat * un DVD - Ram UJ - 841 s. This device is not read / burn any disc. However, Mat * one bed the recovery CD at startup.

    I tried everything: I deleted the registry entries (lower and upper), I uninstalled Ant again once the driver installed... but it doesn't work. Any help?

    Best regards

    Ribera.

    Hello

    In addition to the fact that you can boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD, I think that it s a problem of training material
    I think it's a matter of calibration of lens readers possibly the lens can not calibrate correctly in the right position of s, and this is why the drive can't handle the inserted media.

    This could be the worst case, because this fault is repairable by replacing the drive.

    I should try the following steps:

    First, you must remove the drive from the Device Manager and restart the laptop. After you restart the operating system should recognize the new device (ODD) again.

    Then, open the registry and delete the upper and lower filters of the key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Then reboot again.

    Once these procedures please try again if the player works!

    According to the description of the drive can write DVD-R, DVD - RW and DVD-RAM. In my opinion, the first step, you can try is to test the player with various media (various manufacturers).

    It will be interesting to know does this happen with all sorts of data on the disks. Try checking Autoplay options in the ODD properties.

    By the way: you can see the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer?

    Hello

    Why do you ask for it? The drive is not visible?

    I mean that the driver is not required for ODD (optical disc).
    Windows uses the Microsoft own driver who is still part of the Windows System.

    You see a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager?
    I recommend the removal of the STRANGE in Device Manager. Then, you will have access to the registry and should remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    After that, you have to restart the device.

    Check and I think that the STRANGE should reappear.
