Equium A200-CD/DVD-RW does not

Hi all

I've had this problem for a few months now and have read a number of similar problems on other forums, but I thought that I had just state my case to see if there were other possible solutions before you give in and buy an external.

MY laptop is a Satellite A200 - 26 d PSAE5. After several months of working perfectly my DVDRW drive - a pioneer K17A - ATA DVDRW - unresponsive. When all-optical meida is put in the drive, it will attempt to read - you can distinctly hear the disc turns, but it is audibly different sleek over-Rev noise it makes when it was working properly. It is very stop / start, and the player has often been a dull sound when it tries to read. The best way I can describe it is like trying to rev an engine; Looks like the drive is not to achieve the speed appropriate to read, if it makes no sense.

The drive won't recognize commercial DVD, blank DVDs or old burned DVDs. It also will not recognize blank CDs or self burnt - although oddly, I sometimes get to play commercial CD - but only after a very long time and a lot of the deaf stop / start drive-spinning and noises. When I try to open the DVD player via the Control Panel, it is obviously trying to read, but finally the drawer just opens and the dialog box 'Please insert a disc into drive F:' appears.

The Device Manager lists the CD as a xair NGL6RKXM SCSI CdRom device.

I've updated the BIOS, I seem to have the latest firmware and all drivers are up to date. I also tried to remove the filters from the registry under the direction of microsoft support: However, when I tried that I discovered that my register lists only the UpperFilters - the LowerFilters is not there at all. Should I go ahead and remove the UpperFilter in any way, or it will cause more problems that it is likely to solve?

[Edit to add] Under Vista Home Premium, incidentally.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thank you!

Hello

Very strange but it seems that your CD/DVD drive is faulty and must be replaced. You did a lot of things like the update of the BIOS, remove upper and lower filters and therefore the only one that I think that the reader.

You must replace it with another that is listed in the user manual. Another scratch disk could not work, but if you choose one in the manual it will work because it has the same pinout, etc..

Good luck and if you have any other questions please let us know.

Welcome them

  • 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

  • Equium A200 - CD/DVD drive is not detected

    I can't open any CD/DVD disc. The drive is not detected.
    When checked in the management system, he demonstrated, the drivers are missing or corrupted.

    How do I download the drivers? Or is there another solution?
    My model number is PSAF5E
    Serial number is YT144538Q
    And the CD/DVD device is POLE * DVD / RAM UJ-850 s ATA device

    Hello!

    T, you can download or reinstall the CD/DVD driver because it s a part of the OS (operating system).

    It would be interesting if the BIOS can detect the drive. Please check this box.

    It would also be interesting if you have an error as the #19 error message. This is known and a search around the forum.

    Hi dude

    This problem is known to me it happened to me also
    The problem is that you register Windows!

    A registry entry is corrupted and this is why the CD/DVD-ROM does not like I should.

    So what to do.
    First remove the driver from the Device Manager. Simply remove it.
    Then access the registry and and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Reboot the laptop.

  • Satellite A200 - 23P - mechanic of DVD - rom does not

    I'm sorry for my English in advance this topic! -Thank you

    I have a very big problem with my engraver of DVD (RM).
    I bought SAT A200 - 23P three weeks ago.
    The Win VISTA operating system has been installed. DVD - rom worked well.

    If I have installed Win XP to the second partition on my HARD drive (to install the disk with driver for sata drive in nlite) and installed all the drivers and utilities for Toshiba laptop, I found that my DVD-rom is not working while I press eject button.

    Mechanic of DVD is not responding to eject in XP and not even in the BIOS!
    It is interesting, mechanic DVD is the detection in BIOS, detects in XP, XP operating system votes - mechanic to the DVD works properly - its fable.

    However, if I have installed XP on the second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
    I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
    I now have XP only, even if Vista is on the first partition - I didn't delete it.

    Do you think that the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
    I think that, given that the DVD-rom does not in the BIOS - HW error.

    But is very strange, if I install XP from mechanic to the DVD and then close is, DVD - rom does not...:)

    If I manually open and insert the CD, the DVD does not (diode led no blink, just if I turn off the computer, led blinked once).

    PLS help me someone-

    Thank you!

    Hi Michal

    Your question is very strange, I mean the number of CD/DVD drive

    The fact is that the readers of CD/DVD eject function functions should any operating system has been installed on your laptop. It has nothing to do with your software on the HARD drive.

    So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not XP preinstalled OS?  :|

    My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a bad connection between the laptop and the drive. However the problem could be related to the hardware problem too

    As you see it s not easy to say what's wrong exactly, we can only speculate.

    Now some details about your installation of OS double.

    You cannot choose between Windows XP and Vista because Vista boot manager was obliterated during the installation of Win XP.
    This happened to me also. I installed Win XP on my Satellite and could not start Vista.

    The solution was simple; I used another original DVD of Vista (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. Vista has renewed the Boot Manager, and then I was able to boot Vista.

    Then I downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
    This tool can change the Vista Boot Manager settings. I've edited and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.

    That s it!

  • Satellite A200 - 19L: no sound after hibernation & CD/DVD drive does not work

    First of all, my laptop computer became very slow loading vista after formula 1 week to buy it.

    Second, sometimes when I put the mode 'sleep' a revival of the laptop, there is no sound and a red circle appears over the speaker icon in the bar of tasks, and when I go into control panel > Sound, he tells me that no. his drive was installed and when restarting the laptop the problem resolved?

    Thirdly, after the formula of the week 3 buy the computer also dvd - cd player has the same problem, like the sound and when you open my computer that NO cd\dvd drive icon and when I put a cd or dvd, it does not work or run and it happens all the time, even if the laptop restarts.

    Since then im able to watch movies or work.

    I'm lost and I don't know what to do!
    (Sorry for my bad English, but I hope you understand the problems)

    Hey Osama

    I think I can help you. The questions that appear on your laptop are not serious and the only one associated with software or registry.

    Regarding your noise problem:
    Please check this Microsoft document
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929685/en-us
    or
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/937077/

    the MS update must be downloaded and installed ;)

    Regarding the missing CD/DVD drive;
    I think you should try to remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. Then the operating system should recognize the STRANGE again.
    Secondly you should access the registry editor and should remove the upper filter and bring back the key filter
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Hello

    You can try to open the CD/DVD drive using something small and thin. Near the eject button, you should find a small hole.
    You have to slide - in the little thing and should manually open the CD/DVD drive.

    Then try to insert a CD or DVD disc and close the CD/DVD drive.
    Check if the drive can read data from the disc.

    I would recommend also check if the CD/DVD drive would eject the disc by pressing eject button check different opportunities.

  • 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.

  • On Qosmio G20 DVD player does not work

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hello

    There are two possible reasons why you are not able to copy anything to the CD or DVD.

    First, it may be possible that the drives used are not entirely compatible.
    In such cases, it s always advisable to test different CD and DVD from different manufacturers.

    Secondly, the issue could be related to a defective laser lens; in many cases, this can happen because of a physical constraint. If the laser lens can not calibrate in a good position, then the player will not be able to handle the inserted discs.
    This could be the worst case, because this issue is not repairable. Just a STRANGE replacement could help.
