Equium A100 - CD/DVD drive does not

I tried to use the CD drive on the A-100 and it seems not to work - it spins the disc, and the yellow light - however, you can not explore to load the disc or its contents.

I thought this might be an OS problem, so I tried with a boot disk - a bootable cd Knoppix I have used before, and it refuses to load this either (Yes, the boot order is modified to be the first CD)... it's just a black screen the blinks _ for a little while, he left no doubt and then it starts to boot from the HARD drive.

It is a fairly portable new - a few months only and to my knowledge the CD from the drive has had very little use - 1-2 may be installed.

Any ideas?

Hello

This very strange art.
For me, your description looks like a hardware malfunction, but I just can't believe this could happen after using the player twice.

You said you tried to use the Knoppix CD. What about the Toshiba Recovery CD?
Is it possible to play the CD?

In my operational experience, not all means are compatible! It is possible that the drive could not read or write other unsupported CD or DVD.

So what to say in the user manual, you should find a compatible with CD/DVD index and supported.
This CD and DVD should work for sure.

CD/DVD manufacturers mentioned are unknown to most people, but these are ONLY the manufacturers and not sellers as IE TDK.
Primarily a manufacturer of CD/DVD provides support for several vendors!

So finally I recommend that you check the CD taken in charge and if she will not run contact the ASP for assistance. Maybe the drive needs to be replaced.

Good luck

  • CD/DVD drive does not read discs on Equium A100

    My cd/dvd drive does not read any discs be it, white, written or commercially written. It opens and closes and is light to show that he is working on. Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning properly.

    Tried the update of drivers, no update available. Tried restoring the system back 1 day and 1 week and 1 month, then and still the problem cannot be corrected. When I put a cd/dvd in the drive and try to access it, it says: D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

    Can someone help me I tried everything my friends and I can think, or is it better to send just to toshiba warranty.

    If the solution proposed by James will not help, you should try to remove the drive to CD/DVD in Device Manager.
    After phone restart the operating system will recognize and initialize the disk again.

  • Satellite L500-126-CD/DVD drive does not open very well unrolled

    Hello

    I just got my second Satellite L500-126.
    I traded my first for a new because the ESCAPE key got stuck sometimes and made a grinding sound.

    Now, with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very well unrolled and 2 bars of silver metal bit come out with the car when I open it.
    Is this normal?

    Also, when I close the dvd player, I hear a little noise "ping!"
    Like a spring, or something. Is that also normal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by 2 small bars of silver, but the reader of my laptop s contains two metals (runners, railway).
    This is normal and these pieces are important to ensure that the drive can eject properly and could remain in a good position.
    Still, you will hear a short click Open and close the drive.

    So I guess it's ok.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click

    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    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.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer

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

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
