DVD-RAM UJ-820 s: speed problems

Just wondering if someone has managed to solve the problem with UJ-820 s, i.e. the speed not how it should be for the writing/extraction. I had to use using a USB to get anything above 2 x when the specs say that it should go to 4 x - false advertising?

I guess the drive need a firmware update, but it doesn't seem to be an easy way to contact Toshiba to get one!

See you soon

Hello

What you mean exactly with speed not how it should be for writing/ripping? You can burn DVD - R with a X 4 speed?

    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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

    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.

  • DVD-RAM UJ-820 s does not work on the Satellite A50 - 543

    Hello

    My present DVD-RAM UJ-820 s on Satellite A50 543 is not working correctly, original part is very expensive. Can I order to cheaper NEC AD - 7543A or NEC AD - 7540 A, but I don't know is it compatible with my Satellite A50 543 or not.

    Who can help me?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    From my experience not every disc is compatible with your laptop. It depends on the master / slave / parameters c - salt.
    The settings on the disks online slim for laptops is not editable as on desktop drives by putting the jumper.
    The thin line command does not support riders, and so the firmware controls the settings.

    But dnf666 already replaced the drive on sat 5200 and maybe your favorite player might be compatible

  • 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

  • Driver DVD-RAM on Satellite A110-149 problem

    I recently received my copy of Express Upgrade to Windows Vista and I installed it as described in the user guide.

    The first time Windows Vista ran normally and I had no problem with my DVD-RAM. But then, after having upgraded from windows it asked me to reboot. When I rebooted my computer Windows Vista does not recognize the DVD-RAM driver.

    I searched the Web from Toshiba site, this driver but I couldn't find it. I just find drivers Windows XP, which could not be installed.

    Do you have anyone had the same problem, or knows where I can get this driver?

    My laptop is a Satellite A110 - 149 (PSAB6E) and the DVD-RAM is a CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S

    Hello

    usually, a DVD-RAM needs no driver, it must be recognized automatically. Have you ever tried to remove the drive in system properties and restart the system?

    Windows should install correctly after that. If this isn't the case, please make a comment.

  • How to remove the IDE MAST * A DVD-RAM UJ-820 s - Tecra A2?

    DVD-RAM on my Tecra A2 unit has stopped working (generates many errors of controller to the event log and FAILS in the Toshiba utility). I'm sure it's only the flexible cable (got trapped once that do not closed with care).

    If the cable needs replacing or the whole unit, it should be a fairly easy DIY job, but I can't find detailed disassembly procedures in the manual, or anywhere on the web. Anyone know how to get a service manual for the A2?

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s will not read the cd rom cd-rom dvd

    OK, I read the other posts on these discs. Mine will play DVD movies and play them. It will not read the dvd ROM CD CD-ROM etc.
    This cannot be a hardware problem, it must be the software should not it?
    Can anyone help?
    Does anyone have information on how to remove these disks of the computer? Im sure I can install a new one myself if I really need to.
    Unfortunately the computer is just out of warranty

    Hi Robert,.

    Unfortunately, your problem sounds like a problem with the hardware with the optical drive. The player itself must be able to refocus its lenses to switch between DVD and CD formats, and also to pass the pressed DVD and DVD burned.

    I suggest you tyre remove the device from the Device Manager Control Panel, then restart your laptop so that the optical drive will be recognized as a new component hardware and Windows will then be re - install with standard drivers etc. If this does not work then it looks like a new drive will be necessary.

    Unfortunately you say not what model of laptop you have (the removal procedure is not the same in all cases), but in general if the car is equipped with in-house it is held in place with one or two screws accessible from the bottom of the laptop that should be removed first, then the optical drive can be slid out of its location.

    Kind regards

  • Carpet * a DVD-ram uj 820 does not read anything

    Hello everyone,
    My problem: the DVD player and CD used to run perfectly since 2 years ago, I bought the laptop.
    A week ago the driver suddenly stopped reading and not reading any CD or DVD, no music, no data.
    Nothing...

    Can someone help me?
    Thank you, J.

    Hello

    It is possible that the drive is faulty, but to confirm this, the drive must be verified by the service. It will be interesting to know what exactly happens when you try to use certain media. Is the absolutely silent drive with no activity or the control LED lights up and car tried to read the media? What is the status in windows Explorer? If the list, what happens when you click on ODD? Is an error occurs?

    What you can do is:

    Remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. After this check the functionality.
    Try to clean the lens
    Playback option with CD or DVD original only test
    I'm not sure this will help, but if it happens all of a sudden try to restore the operating system by using the system restore utility

    It is really not easy to tell what the problem may be, but it is really possible that the drive is dead.
