Equium L20-197 does not burn DVD

Hello

I've had my Toshiba Equium L20-197 for more than a year. I have problems with the DVD burner. He is able to play DVDs, burn CDs and play perfectly fine CDs, is not just to burn DVDs. Had this problem for months, I was wondering if anyone knows a solution for it!

Secondly, a question more than a question. Is it possible to set the "Play/pause" media key to open an alternative application to Windows Media Player? I use Winamp, and it would be nice if I could take a break using this button and I not WMP opens in the process!

Thank you

Astiak.

Hello

First something about burning your DVDs of problem.
Have you tried to burn different types of DVDs? I mean if you have tried different brands of DVD?
I use only the TDK CD and DVD and I am satisfied. But this does not mean that the TDK will work with your hard drive. The fact is that not all readers of support all media.

In any case, do you have an error message during the burning process? Have you used different burning applications? I only use one program for burning (Nero) and I do not mix the burning software. I noticed that the sonic program installed on the laptop could have a negative influence on the burning process.

But on the other side, it is possible that disk and that only aid failures.
Especially the lens of the drive can not calibrate properly and so the CD / DVD cannot be recognized or burned.

Now the button configuration media;
Unfortunately, the buttons are configured fix and it is no longer possible to use WMP if audio CD has been inserted or with WinDVD if the DVD has been inserted.

I hope I could help bye ;)

    Did you put this phone in the standby or hibernation mode?

    Read this description, it seems that the laptop has been in one of these modes and cannot wake up.
    Try to remove the battery from the laptop and unplug the power adapter.
    Several waiting time (~ 20 min) and reconnect the battery and the AC adapter.

  • Software Sonic does not burn DVDs on Satellite 105

    Hello

    I have a few movies that I downloaded via Windows movie maker, but did not burn. I edited movies with all the works, I was able to burn using CD disc, but does not burn with a DVD-R disc.

    My other attempts involved using the pre installed Sonic DVD maker software, but I couldn't transfer my films to the library of windows movie maker (WMM). How can I do this? I tried to import the movies, but the Sonic would be important only videos found in the "My videos file", I transferred a movie in my video folder and was able to transfer it to the sound library, however, I couldn't find a way to edit the video, the software Sonic does not appear to guide you on the steps to do , in contrast to WMM.

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated since I've lost too many CD drives already.
    See you soon

    Hello

    I put t know if Windows movie maker is able to burn on DVD s. I presume that it s is not possible. I checked the WMM options and it seems it is only an option called save on CD and nothing on the DVD.

    I don t use Windows movie maker but another application called Nero burning ROM.
    It really great software s. I installed some add-ons and I can create DVD movies and play with the DVD drive simply.

    I recommend to check and test the Nero!

  • Equium L20 battery does not load

    I have an Equium L20 what battery does not charge. The Windows Powermanagment says he is in charge, but the percentage increases ever, I tried different batteries with the same symptom as a result.
    Battery LED is orange glowing as if his load but no matter how long I leave it on charge, percentage does not change. Windows detects the battery as well with all the correct information... I tried to remove the battery, to no avail. .
    Is it a software or a hardware problem?

    I also believe that it is hardware problem. There must be some problem with electronic power electronic board. Particular component? This component is placed on the motherboard, and I don't really know if you can exchange it separately.

  • Satellite Pro A210-1 b 1 does not burn DVD

    Hi guys,.

    I got a problem here. I tried many times to burn DVDs on my laptop, but it does not work.

    I tried to burn DVDs with Nero, DeepBurner, Windows Media Player and Windows explore any of them successfully. (Only Nero and just once).

    What is happening is: I put the blank DVD disk, start Nero (or other program) select the files and click on burn. It doesn't show any errors during combustion and post-combustion, I check the disc and seems to be really burnt (the color of the disk where files there is darker) but after inserting the disc again in the PC it shows: blank DVD!

    I'm really annoyed with it because I got a lot of files to burn, and I can't.

    Anyone has an idea on what to do?

    PS. : Already put the recovery disk and formatted my system whole and already tried with Windows XP.
    I tried to burn a DVD (to check if it is not the media) on another laptop and it worked very well.

    Please guys, try to help me.

    Thank you

    You can check if these DVD created on your laptop is empty on other laptops or computers too?

    Did you do an update of the firmware of your player? This can sometimes help.

    For a TS - L632H ODD, you will need the TO03 firmware.
    For a TS - L632P ODD, you will need firmware TO02.

    Try them and let me know if this worked for you

  • CDDVDW ts-l633m does not burn DVD

    Hello

    I have a HP probook 4310 s with a system of Windows XP mode and a cddvdw ts-l633m driver.
    For some unknown reason, the driver, who is supposed to be able to burn DVDs, is unable to do. When I insert a DVD, it does not recognize as an accessible media in writing, it only recognizes as a readable media. However - it burns CDs very well.
    I used several different DVD available in writing and made sure the batch I bought was not defected.
    Anyone has an idea why my DVD writer cannot burn DVDs?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    You might have a disk problem 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.

    DVD/CD have a tolerance + - and you have to write on the side outside their tolerance.
    They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    Several good info here:

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check the cables
    both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean the
    power and data of the contacts with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer
    and the manufacturer of the device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    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

  • Bought the first 13. Does not burn dvd slideshow created in 12 of the elements.

    I created a slide show in 12 items. Recorded as WMV. Tried to burn DVDs. Download the message inviting me to try the first 13 trial. Have already bought 13 first, but which does not recognize the 12 elements.

    Tried opening 13 first, import my WMV file. Go to create DVDs. After that it seems to go through the complete combustion, I get a message that says that something is preventing the complete combustion. Provides a link that takes me to a page that is not available. Is there a way to get my 12 items to bind to the first 13? What else can I try?

    susanK

    If you have issued your slideshow Organizer items 12 to get a wmv file saved on the hard drive of your computer, you should be

    able to import that in first 13 items editor with add Media/files and folders of the editor and edit and export accordingly.

    There is no integration between the Publisher of slide show of 12 elements Organizer and first 13 items Organizer 13.

    However, you can convert the catalog 12 to 13. But it will take 13 allows you to convert the slideshow in this catalogue in its new format which

    is significantly different from what you used in 12.

    Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet. If you have, say the program uses a new feature in 13.1 that leaves you with the .iso image file

    If you hit the burn to fail. You can take this file to DVD-VIDEO on DVD .iso image using a free program called ImgBurn.

    You can also use burn DVD/record/Publish + share on (4.7 GB) file to download a backup file containing the VIDEO_TS folder that you can

    Download DVD-Video on DVD using the ImgBurn program.

  • Equium L20 - memory does not display correctly?

    Hi I just bought an Equium L20. First time I had a Laptop.In the card it says 256 MB memory. But when I checked the system it says I have 192 MB. Where's the other the 64 MB? Or am I just drive I thought.

    [Edited by: admin November 13 05 13:03]

    Hello

    you really have to 256 MB of memory. But for the moment, your laptop uses only 192 MB, because the other 64 MB are used as additional video memory to the graphics card.

    By the way, you should be thinking of an upgrade of memory, 256MB is not so.

    Good bye

  • M40X. DVD/rewritable does not burn DVD

    When I bought the computer everything worked properly, I could burn CD / DVD / RW, etc. After having a format and reinstall all the features that TOSHIBA has (pre-installed TOSHIBA software), I am not able to burn DVDs, even if I tried to burn in the same kind of DVD he was burning to. I can still burn RW but they are not played anywhere other than my own computer.
    What should I do? why it works that way?
    Note: After format the computer has taken at least three times the time to start than when it was new.

    Hello Arnold,.

    Regarding your problem of DVD, it sounds as if the DVD you are burning are not finalized by your burning software. This will result in the burned DVD (R or RW) only be playable in the unti who burned and nowhere else. I don't know ask your help for DVD burning but check for all options which will finalize your DVD. You should then be able to play them back anywhere.

    As for you laptop to take three times as long to start, are you sure that you do not have additional applications starting by default now that you have re-installed averything. I suggest that you search what is actually underway when you load your operating system (click on start-> Run-> Msconfig) and then everything you don't want to actually delete the list.

    Kind regards

  • Equium L20-197: no not line-in jack - how to record from an external audio source

    Hello

    I am generally very happy with my Equium L20, but I now find some trouble which I assume are from cost reduction. For example, there are no micro shipped, so need to buy one for Voip purposes. And I would like to use this notebook to record from an external audio source, but now to discover that he has no line-in, and it seems that the microphone jack is mono only, even if it was possible to configure the audo map to use this to source line.

    I would be very grateful if anyone has any ideas for a solution workaround, possibly using a USB port.

    I have TWO laptops Satellite Pro L500 with a TSSTCorp TS-L633C DVD - RW. BOTH have the same problem - burn a DVD fails during the finalization process, regardless of how fast you burn at.

    Burn the CD works fine.
