• Equium M50 can burn CD but not DVD - power calibration error

  Hello

  Well, basically, that's my problem. The other day I tried to burn a dvd but kept getting the "power calibration error" tried different DVD and burning software, but still the same problem, although I can burn DVDs perfectly.

  Any ideas anyone?
  Thank you.

  Hi dude

  Unfortunately, this doesn't sound good.
  Power calibration error is known to me and it seems that there is no other way to replace the CD/DVD drive with the new.

  According to the error message is unable to calibrate s lens by car in the right position and that's why the drive can't handle certain mediums.

  See your owner's manual for compatible CD/DVD players.
  If you want you can also control the caught player in charge of a partner of service authorized in your country.

  Good luck

• The CD/DVD drive power calibration error - Satellite A100-646

  Hi all

  I have a problem with the DVD-RAM of my laptop. I can not burn cd/DVDs, show error message is "power calibration error".
  Can I fix it myself?
  I tried to change the blank media (CD/DVD), cleaned the optical lens. S.O. Vista Home Premium
  The unit of DVD - RAM, it is MAST * A DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA Device Ver = 1.10 firmware

  Tanks a lot
  Best regards

  > I can fix it myself?

  Do not think that you will be able to solve this problem, because according to the error message, lens driver cannot calibrate in the right position and that's why the drive can't burn any DVD or CD.

  This is a mechanical problem and to my knowledge, the drive must be replaced.
  For assistance, please contact the ASP in your country. They should replace the disc with the compatible and supported a.

  If the warranty is valid should be done for free.

  Good luck a cheers

• Satellite L20: Cannot burn DVDs - power calibration error

  Hello

  I have problems when you try to burn the DVD on my Toshiba Satellite L20. Nero indicates a "power calibration error". Lens and drive have been cleaned up, but it did not help. Supprisingly, DVR +/-RW and CD are treated correctly. DVD player of any sort is also OK. Only burning DVDs (+/-), regardless of their manufacturer, fails.

  The next step, I wanted to put a fresh firmware in the drive which is Mat * a UJ - 841 S. I found the firmware on another site of PC companies. But the installer stops with the message that it does not apply to my reader however it was designed exactly for this kind of car.

  On the website of Panasonic, manufacturer of the drive, there is the information that support for this model is provided by the hardware vendor - in this case, it is Toshiba. But there is no firmware for this drive on Toshiba support pages.

  Can anyone help me, please.
  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Piotr

  First of all, note that after the installation of non-Toshiba firmware yourself, will lose it warranty for the reader. In any case, on a forum I found an interesting solution. You can try:

  1) click Start
  (2) select control panel
  3) click on Administrative Tools
  4) click on services
  (5) go your way down to SERVICE of the COM of ENGRAVING of IMAPI CD
  (6) right-click (on IMAPI), and then select Properties
  (7) in the middle of the window, it will say start type. Click the arrow on the right and select disabled.
  8) click APPLY

  I also noticed that Nero starts much more quickly than before. I recommend you test different blank media.

• Satellite A50 will record on Dvd, but not on a CD - power calibration error

  My Satellite A50 will record on Dvd, but not on a cd. It happens with power calibration error after about 5% of the record.
  The drive used to save at all!

  --> Power calibration error is a mistake known to me.
  I've read on various sites several suggestions and comments and the power calibration error appear because the lens of the drive can not calibrate correctly.
  It is a hardware malfunction and unfortunately nothing :(

  You will need to replace the drive

• Qosmio G20: Can't burn CD but only DVD - power calibration error

  Hello

  I am having trouble, and I think it's very strange.
  I can't record audio cd or data!

  I used sonic reducer, like nero, like windows media player... tried 3 different brands of cd'r and I can not burn audio or data files in one of these... But... I can burn DVDs... it's very strange right?

  PS: when I record with nero, I keep having this message on the relatory of the engraving: 'power, calibration error' but only i when I try to burn Cda´s... DVD recording has not this problem

  I have to update some drivers?

  Please, any help would be great, or I'll have to make a big trip to resolve the problem on the laptop store.

  concerning

  Hello

  I'm afraid you will have to make a trip: (m
  Information about the burning process was very useful.
  This confirms my fears.
  In my opinion there is not a lot to do and the drive needs to be replaced. There is a power calibration error. This happens if the lens can not calibrate correctly. If you use different media the lens must be calibrated every time before the combustion process will begin.

  I think that you will need to contact the Toshiba ASP in your country

• Satellite M40: Power calibration error - drive cannot burn DVD - RW more

  My drive is a carpet * an oem UJ - 831S. After a screw-up partitioning job, I had to format my HD and reinstall Windows XP... and then I can not burn DVD - RW more.

  Tried many programs such as Nero and a fireman, gives an error of calibration of power from the beginning.
  Burning CD - r and CD - RW no problem however, and I can read CDs and DVDs of movies very well.

  Google and searched for a month without success, tried to blow the laser lens, but there is no dust, I tried different media, etc. I know the best answer is that the drive is done, BUT I refuse to acknowledge it because it is too big of a coincedence to stop working right after that I reinstalled XP.

  An interesting note however, my laptop has not been provided with a CD of Toshiba, so I had to reinstall manually more drivers by downloading the Toshiba site, so I have a funny feeling, this could be a thing of the software/firmware, or even a framework.

  I installed the new firmware 1.02 for the reader as well. I don't remember what the firmware was before resettlement, IE the laptop computer settings to factory default, I'd like to downgrade to 1.00 if possible.

  Experts have ideas? And is there a way I can reset the firmware?

  Maybe I could remove the drive from the system-> devices and let XP Reinstall for me?

  Hello

  > I don't know the best answer is that the drive is done, BUT I refuse to acknowledge it because it is too big of a coincidence to stop working right after that I reinstalled XP.

  Of course, it s simply to say the drive is dead because everything looks like a hardware malfunction. Most often the power calibration error appears because of the drive lens can't calibrate in the right position and thus cannot read some CD or DVD s s or it of not possible to write about them.

  But maybe you are a lucky man and might try this procedure:
  -Try to remove the drive physically from the Bay for laptop
  -Restart the unit without the drive
  -In this case the operating system should start from the HARD drive
  -Close the notebook then reinsert the drive unit in the Bay of s for laptop
  During initialization, the laptop should recognize the drive and must pick up the firmware

  Then you can check if you can burn the DVD again, otherwise you will need a new drive

• Re: Need Satellite L30 - 105 Vista - power calibration error - new firmware

  Hey guys =)

  Ive got a Satellite L30-105 running a Vista 32 bit. And even if I try several different (Imageburn, Nero) burning software, and with the TDK - CD, I get an error in the burning software, saying "power calibration error".

  Satellite L30 - 105 (item number PSL33E-02S026N5), use a cd/dvd burner called MAST * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s

  I wonder, can I download and install new drivers for my dvd player?

  I will also try to buy this "cleaning-cd", to try to clean the lens. cause I bought the laptop in 2007... then her grandmother as...

  But you guys don't have any what could be bad? Is it expensive to get a new cd/dvd drive for this laptop?

  Bravo and thank you!

  Hello

  Power calibration error means that the laser ODD lens cannot calibrate in the right position.
  Generally this has nothing to do with a firmware of drive but with the problem of equipment.

  In most cases, the CD/DVD drive must be replaced.

  I'm not sure how a new CD/DVD drive could be but the fact is that you cannot use any CD/DVD drive
  You need a compatible and such disc compatible and taken in charge could be ordered in a local ASP.

• 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.

• Power calibration error - Mat * a UJ - 830 s drive Satellite M45

  Hello!

  I have a problem writing files on my carpet * a writer uj-830 s. My laptop is Satellite M45. When I try to burn a CD or DVD in nore or dla, it gives the power calibration error.

  I'm sick and tired of this!
  Can someone help me please?

  Hello

  Power calibration error is known to me and revealer of truth he s just doesn't sound right.
  For the most part, this message appears if the lens of the player is unable to calibrate in the right position.

  The goal must always be calibrated before you start read or write the middle.
  If this procedure fails, the drive is not able to manage the CD or DVD and get the power calibration error.

  Frankly, in most cases, the drive needs to be replaced, because AFAIK this dysfunction is not repairable.

• Equium L300: Lively controversy - power calibration error

  I have an Equium L300 and im having trouble trying to burn audio files to CD with Nero express. I get the message on the screen saying; "power calibration error".

  Hello

  Software calibration power calibration error is displayed if the player's laser lens cannot calibrate in the right position to manipulate and to recognize the CD or the DVD inserted.

  In most cases, the CD/DVD drive is faulty and must be replaced ;(

  However the lens can not handle the CD or the DVD because the support is not fully compatible and taken in charge.

  In my opinion, you should test different CDs or DVDs from different manufacturers. Maybe the other CDs or DVDs will run.

  Good luck

• Satellite M30X-134. A device that can replace the "Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 820 s'?

  Hello world.

  My laptop is still big, and I don't want to get a new one.
  The DVD combo 'Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-820 s' is now defective! The nearest Toshiba Servicecenter said that there will be EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS and gave no other details or suggestions, but if I find cheaper that they will install it.

  Now Ive has been unable to find the UJ-820 's' but some stores online request for similar models (UJ-846 and UJ - 850 among others) replace it without complications and are like 10 times cheaper.
  If anyone knows exactly what we can replace the UJ-820 s (same characteristics)
  Please let me now, it will be highly appreciated.

  PS. I have the UJ-820 's' think theres also UJ-820 and UJ - 820D I do not know the difference, the manufacturer (panasonic) does anyway.
  My dear laptop is: Toshiba Satellite M30X-134 (PSA72E - 015022GR) (in German)

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can use almost all mast * one car because readers have some major differences. Maybe we can do DVD-R and another can do more media, but if you just need a reader to write cd/dvd then you can catch a UJ-846 or something similar from the connectors and electronics are almost the same.

  Moreover, I know many after-sales Service of toshiba but $ 800? Please can you post which was the service centre. Thank you.

• carpet * a dvd - ram uj-820 s

  My satellite a60 don't overlay the carpet * a dvd - ram uj-820 s at all. The system said that it does not, or he says he broke. But I don't know that it is not broken. What should I do?

  Hi Justus,

  Check in the Device Manager to see if your DVD-RAM is displayed. If it is you can try the troubleshooting for her option.

  You can also try to remove the device and then re - start, in this way, the system should see the drive and reinstall.

• Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s does not recognize blank DVDs

  My laptop recently stopped recognizing blank, or I burned when I put them in the DVD player.
  The drive is a CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s and it was working fine until last week when I tried to use the ASHAMPOO Burning software.

  He does not even recognize any MOVIE DVD I put in the drive, but it doesn't seem to have a problem with a music CD, I tried.

  Someone to help they could offer cause I'm running out of space and I really want to delete my files.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It looks a bit like a malfunction of the equipment. Maybe the lens of the drive can not calibrate correctly.

  Another clue;
  Have you tried to delete the upper and lower filter registry entries?
  Try it. Sometimes such procedure can simply bring the reader to life.

  The detailed procedure and description has been published here in the article Microsoft Knowledge base:
