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

The BIOS displays "none" instead of "optical device".This means that the CD device is dead?
Hey Micky,
Unfortunately it's probably :-(. You can try to remove the optical drive and then reinsert it into Notepad, and then marketing and see if it is recognized as a new device.
Check also that it is not displayed in Device Manager and if it is remove before trying the above.

Of Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive does not write CD
My A100 running Vista cannot burn CD whatever CD I insert for registration, do not see it A100. DVD burning is OK. Weird and irritating. Can anyone help?
SHello
Don t use Roxio program to burn the CD.
Use Nero! It of much better! I also use it and I m very happy.I noticed that Roxio modifies the registry key, and so sometimes the CD/DVD drive cannot read or burn some mediums.
Delete the Upperfilter and UpperFilter in this key:

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.
After this review of the procedure if you can read, write the middle. -
Re: CD/DVD drive does not seem to start the DVD in Satellite P750
My CD/DVD drive does not seem to start DVD, it runs and runs and the only way I can run a DVD (i.e. film) is using Windows Media Center, while the software to install must be enabled in Windows Explorer.
Anyone?
Help, please.
Thank you!Have you tried to change AutoPlay settings?
Open Control Panel and Auto game options. Enable the option Use AutoPlay for all media and devices. Also change other options, especially for DVD movies, software and games. -

This means that your CD/DVD drive no longer works and is not recognized by the system?

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.
