  Thank you Jesus, I bought an extended warranty at FRYS for three additional years.

  of course it does not cover the screen is broken... but vizio is great.

  everyone having this problem

  the system is64bit and the driver for the cd is a 32-bit... and why the pilot ancient... Since 2006?

  The driver for the cd isn't as drivers for other devices... it's buried deep in the operating system in a layer that is probably there since Windows 2000. Your drive has failed and needs to be replaced. Are you sure that Frys extended warranty does not cover the screen? Some of them have no protection against accidental damage.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  This does not sound well :( I think it could be a hardware problem maybe something wrong with the lens of the drive
  Anyway, usually it of not possible to fix these issues or it s not worth repairing, because the costs are too high
  Thus, it seems that you need to replace. But be careful. Not all readers are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings.
  I would recommend so contact the ASP in your country to get a compatible drive.

  But please try this proposal;

  Hello!

  I agree with Akuma. Try removing the upper and lower filters that is also described in this paper to Toshiba:

  If it doesn't work try to boot from a bootable CD or DVD. So you can make sure if it s a software or hardware problem.

  Hello

  you mean that the external hard drive does not work too? Some software blocking your disks?

  I think that the best way to check if your internal drive still works would try to start with a bootable CD (perhaps with a live linux distribution on it) and to try this with the external hard drive also.

  If you're really a software that prevents the drive work properly, then you should recover your machine with the recovery media to make the drive work again properly.

• Satellite A50 543 reads CDs and DVDs sporadically

  I have a problem with my DVD-ROM in my laptop. It only reads CD and DVD sporadically. But most of the time that I dwell in a DVD and it try the bed. But after a few seconds it stops and the DVD - ROM led lights constantly.

  My question is, can I get a new DVD-ROM? Or I have to send it back to Toshiba?

  Sorry, my English is not the best ;)

  Hello

  For me, this looks like a disk failure. After repeatedly the lens can not calibrate properly and so sometimes s not possible to read, burn with different media.
  You should know that internal portable players using different parameters like master/slave or c - salt. These parameters is not editable as on drives for desktop PC.
  Therefore, it is very important that you will use and bye a compatible.

  If you want to know which drive will work on your laptop, so I recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for details.

• Windows media player cannot read CDs and DVDs

  MS supports says my Player DVD is dead and needs a new drive. So, I just install a new ROM DVD and still have the same problem - cannot read CDs and DVDs.

  When I play the CD, I always get the error meessage--(lecteur Windows media a rencontré une erreur lors de la lecture de lecteur de CD en mode numérique...). 'Digital' is selected under the tool-> properties-> device.

  When I play DVD, it is frozen my laptop or keep spinning and froze the Windows Explorer and the reader.

  I was able to read DVDs and CDs once after a few restart. During playback of CD the WMP abruptly stopped with error message and since that time cannot play CD DVD & more.

  So far, I did a few fixs that I found online and nothing wroks:

  * No upperfilter or UpperFilter registry

  * Uninstall and let the laptop automatically reinstall the driver

  * Ms. Fix it gives different results every time I run the fix-(1) detects no problem and therefore no patches have been applied (2) the main media in the CD drive is not readable (same CD has played correctly when using external USB DVD rom)

  Can someone help and let me know what that could be the problem and how to fix it! Thank you!

  Hi Amy,

  You can read the following article to clear the Windows Media Player database and check if it helps.

  You cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

  If you have any third-party media player installed on the system, then check if the DVD player works with it.

• Satellite A40: drive has stopped reading the CD & DVD discs

  Does anyone know why my CD/DVD combo drive has stopped reading discs (CD and DVD). The light blinks for a while then stays on but nohting happen after that. No prompt to ask to see WMP or real player etc. Nothing at all.

  Hi André,.

  Normally, this occurs if the optical drive cannot read the titles of the index on the CD. It does this so that the built-in firmware allows to identify the disc type and recalibrate the lens as a result.

  It might, however, be something simple as having the 'autoplay' feature to take no measure for that when a disc is inserted in the optical drive will be re - calibrate the lens and then not start any software to actually read the disc.

  Try to insert a disc and then open 'My computer' and check if the optical drive is displayed. If this is the case, then try the "Explorer" (right-click on the icon). If you receive an error indicating that the disk is not accessible or the disc cannot be read, then it is likley that you have a faulty drive.

  Kind regards

  > OK, thanks for the answer... I did check the Device Manager and sees all problems reported and even tried to update the CD player, but said that it was up-to-date so I don't know what I should look for then. See, most recently, I had to reinstall a few updates for Vaio Care not installing correctly automatically and although he has cleared up the initial problems with a patch of Self Heal and a update for IntervideoDVD that would not install it gave me these warnings of DVD and CD ROM that I've never seen before in prΘcΘdentes Vaio Care One Click. It is a kind of new added to just alert courtesy warning me that I must check the following points and most of the time can be ignored, or is it a real alarm of a problem.

  Unlike other caveats and bugs discovered by VAIO CARE this warning has no additional information as to what it can be difficulty and get rid of the warning indicators. See I'm a novice when it comes to records and others, but my all in one computer is only a year and a half, so if there is a problem with it I would like to know for sure, find and how to fix it. This computer is the first computer, I never bought where they send you the utility service, manuals, disks received, etc. with the unit so I have to be sure to make a change before even trying it but this one is just eluding me b/c I don't know where to look, or once found 110%, what I should see. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  ===========================================

  This troubleshooting might not help if there are problems of alignment and wear it
  is worth it.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click the device - driver
  Tab: click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then do a CLICK RIGHT to the road.
  UNINSTALL - REBOOT this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the disc is not
  shown continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.
