Equium M50-216: reader of CD-Rom does not work

Hi, I have owned my PC laptop toshiba equium m50-216 for 2 months. I haven't used the drive for about 3 weeks, but it worked very well. I went to use it today and it won't work.

When I start an orange light flashes. Then that's it, it will not eject and if I manually eject and then put a record it is not recognized. Maybe I accidentally activated a safety lock or the somets? Thank you

Hello

As much as I know there is no any kind of safety lock. The drive is listed correctly in the Device Manager and windows Explorer?

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

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

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

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  • I have a computer running VISTA. The CD-ROM/DVD-rom does not work and can not read the CD of the program that I placed in it.

    It won't read a DVD.  It will not read ANY CD or DVD.  I tried 12 different CD/DVD.  This isn't an upgrade to Vista; the computer came "made for Vista" with Vista installed on it.  I had added Nero.  I removed Nero.  I did all the updates. I have not released the driver and reinstalled.  He claims to have the latest driver software, but it won't work.  The computer can see the CD/DVD, but he calls it a 'CDROM '.  It is not the case.  It is a DVD/Cd-RW with Labelflash.

    I did everything suggested that past discussions.  I ran FIXIT program that claims that the drive works properly.  It is not the case.

    I tried to get various programs to recognize.  They cannot see the installed media.

    I uninstalled iTunes.

    Please do not give me the answer of cut-and - paste stock; It does not work.

    Please tell me what to do to make Vista see the media inserted in the CD/DVD-RW drive.

    Thank you.

    Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
    are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
    ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Equium - dead after hibernation, the system recovery does not work

    Hello
    I'm trying to fix the laptop of one of my friends, but so far without success. It's a Toshiba Satellite with Vista.

    She had problems with a black screen after startup in Windows Vista. I found a work around for this problem, but it was a little complicated for her... She doesn't know much about computers. ;)
    So I but it would be a good idea to tell him to always use hibernation. However, when I put the portable standby extended, all seemed fine, shutdown, power off.
    I tried and then turn it back on. Light turns green, cd drive makes noises. Nothing more. Screen remains completely black. No sounds. Keyboard input does not work. No access to the Manager startup or anything else. He left light until I pass him by pressing the button for a few seconds.
    I removed the battery and put back in place, without result.
    Connection to an external monitor shows no results.
    When I put the original CD recovery Toshiba, no results.

    So, basically a cell phone dead. Ah yes, I'm in the Brazil in a small village, away from the stores of tech support or computer. Maybe a problem material, but all was working fine until I used the hibernation.

    Any help or ideas would be very appreciated! ;)
    Daniel

    Hello

    My laptop could not wake up after hibernation too but I managed to wake up again.
    This;
    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
    Now, you will have to wait a while 1 hour should be sufficient, but you can leave the laptop disconnected for a longer time (all night long)

    After that, you must connect the battery and AC adapter and should try to light the device if it will not help you then you are in trouble
    This would mean that a serious hardware problem causing this problem and I doubt you could remedy without any help from the ASP.

I live in the United Kingdom, so I tried signing up to them to choose the computer before the computer is out of warranty.

    Whenever I register, it says sorry, an unexpected error has occurred, please try again later. I have tried at least 20 times since yesterday and it doesn't seem to work. I have them even called and they told me, the service is stopped and will be fixed this morning but yet nothing works.

    Any solution?

    Hello

    If you want to contact Toshiba service partner in your country then why you don't call them?

    I don't think that you need to register something apart from the serial number of your laptop. But in my opinion this could also be done at the point of service.

    Look like lost laser precise positioning device and can no longer read high-density data on DVD, but on the sum of CD singing can be found with difficulty.

    Your description sounds like a reader lens problem.
    Probably the lens can not calibrate in the right position, and that's why the drive can't handle DVD media.

    Bad news buddy this problem is not repairable with updates. Above all it s a hardware problem and the drive should be replaced!

    I would recommend contact the ASP which is responsible for you country to organise a replacement.

    Thanks Vince

    I ve checked the download from Toshiba Europe site, and there is no problem with the download. The file is approximately 96 MB and I downloaded it for about 40 seconds.

    The question is: how you tried to install the display driver?

    Anyway, who knows how you use the S-Video option and what can be the problem. According to your announcement you didn t get answer from Toshiba about it. Am I right about that?
    To be honest I don't think that there is a problem. The fact is that how to use the cable S-Video with TV is the same for all models laptops.

    Can you please explain to us how you try to see the desktop on your TV with the S-video cable?
