Good for Satellite M40 DVD DVD player model

Can someone tell me what model of drive of DVD the Satellite M40 (PSM40A) was supposed to come with?
According to Windows (XP Pro), mine was initially a carpet * a UJ831S, the version of firmware 1.00. Due to problems with this drive, it was replaced under warranty by Toshiba.

According to the label, the new disc is a carpet * a UJ840, with annotation HW 1.10 FW 1.40, which I assume the hardware and firmware versions respectively. Problem is that this drive is reports still on Windows as a UJ831S, a firmware version 1.40 now.

I am sure that Toshiba write their own firmware for these drives and so have control over what is reported for Windows. I suspect that this model of M40 should never take a UJ840 and so it's to be deliberately badly reported to Windows as a UJ831S. I never saw the label on the original disc and have therefore no ideae if it was actually a UJ831S.

The reason why I'm curious is that I always have problems playing some audio CD original with this player and think that it could be a problem of hardware compatibility. It is certainly not a question of protection of the CD, and the CD set fine on other laptops I tried them, with the exception of Toshibas with Mat * one or recorders of DVD Teac.
Toshiba say that nothing can do more.

I must point out that this laptop was purchased in New Zealand and can be specific to the Australasian market. I write here because the New Zealand from Toshiba web site (actually ends up on the Austraian site) does not appear to have a forum.

Thank you

Hello

I studied a bit in the internet on the disc that came with this unit but I can't find useful information about the name of the drive and which drive was delivered with this device, but I guess it was a UJ831S.
However, I suggest that the new drive is UJ840, but the Windows operating system recognizes this disk as a UJ831S because of the firmware.

I found this topic on the identification of bad player:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=10034&start=15

In this case, the drive was out of life, and he was replaced by another having the same properties.
I think that he is even on your laptop.

    No need to worry about the disk version. He would just install an update anyway once it has been installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number, you need to activate.

  • On Satellite S50D DVD Player - A - 10 L

    Hello

    I bought a S50D satellite - A - 10 L last year and I wonder if it has a DVD player up to now because I didn't need at the time. Today, I want to watch a movie that I had on DVD and surprised there is no button to open the CD/DVD drive.

    Therefore, my question: is there a DVD player on this particular model?
    If there is how to open it and if it is not how it is possible (the seller must tell me...)?

    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    DVD player software or should I say optical drive?
    According to the specifications of the laptop this model PSKKWE offered without optical drive.

  • C50D-B-120 satellite and DVD player

    Hi guys wonder if you can help me. I was given this laptop for Christmas and noticed that it is not built in a dvd player. Is there anywhere I can buy one as I looked all over the internet and can find a?

    Hello

    To be honest I don't know if WEIRD can be added more.
    Some models of C50D have 9.5 MM 8 X DVD SUPERMULTI STRANGE inside, but I don't know exactly what model it could be. Maybe someone with the same machine can help you with this.

    What you can try is to contact the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country and ask for help.
    I'm pretty sure who can check in their database, which model can be used and you can also ask if you can order the plastic for her cover.

    If you do not use the optical disc drive so often good solution is external USB ODD. I also use this STRANGE with my small NB550. This is HP CMB UJ141AF USB key.

  • Satellite U205 - DVD Player problems

    I bought a Satellite U205-S5057 year last with Vista on it. For the first month, all video files burn very well. After that, I downloaded all kinds of codecs and trial versions of DVD burning software just got keep burning DVDs.

    After all downloads, of course, they began to come into conflict. I ran a system recovery and hoped that it would be clean all conflicts. I put some videos on a CD - rw and transferred to my book burning. When I clicked on the D: / he said "D: / no request." Then I re-installed Realplayer on the internet and now it burns in Realplayer 1 out of every 10 tent or if.

    Anyone know why I have so many problems with my CD/DVD drive? In addition, he always says D: / is a DVD player, even when I put a CD. Is this good?

    Hello

    Have you tried to remove the top and bottom of the registry entry filters?
    Not? OK, try this:

    First remove the CD/DVD drive device manager.
    Then, completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Finally, restart the computer, and restart the system.
    The Windows operating system should recognize the drive and it needs to be reinstalled again.

  • Satellite U300 - DVD player can't read DVD

    I got my U300 for about a year and a half, and now the DVD player has stopped working properly.

    I can play DVDs without problem, but I am unable to read CDs or disks of software. When I double click on DVD - RW on my computer, a message appears telling me to insert a disk in drive D, when it is already there!

    Anyone know what is the problem and how can I solve this problem? Any help is very appreciated! Thank you!

    Hello

    You can try the steps to follow

    -Try to remove upper and lower filters. If you n t know how, read this Microsoft KB article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    -Remove the drive from Device Manager CD/DVD, and then restart the laptop. After the reboot of the CD/DVD drive will be recognized again. Maybe it works.

    -Perhaps there is dust on the lens. You should try to clean the lens of the CD/DVD drive.

    In the worst cases, the CD/DVD drive must be replaced :(

    Good bye

  • Satellite A660 - DVD player does not recognize some DVD

    I have a new Satellite A660-17th with a drive HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N, running under Windows 7 64-bit.

    The reader will read most DVDs. Commercial DVD (region 2) are very good. However, there are problems with the DVD recorded with DVD recorders. Recordings of DVD + R using a Philips machine work very well. DVD + R and DVD - R using a Sony HDX 1095 of RDR machine do not work.

    I hope that the disc is ok and that this problem can be solved by changing some settings or other?
    Any ideas?

    Hey,.

    If commercial DVDs are working properly, it s final related to your own created DVD recorder of DVD.
    It s knows not to adjust something on the DVD player without region code

    In my opinion, you should test different brands of DVD to check which is compatible with all devices.
    My favorite is Verbatim DVD - R TDK also makes good discs

    Check this box!

  • Satellite A60 DVD Player problems

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A60 (18mths old now) - when I 1st got it the DVD burner was DOA - so I sent off the coast and he had replaced.
    It has worked well since then until recently when the DVD player just wouldn't recognize anything - CD or DVD

    Tried everything with this unit - but at the end of the day understood the drive was gone.

    Another bought a (SD-R6252) and lo-and-this is the same thing happens.

    Each diagnosis that I run says the drive is OK - but there is no disk in it.
    I reinstalled windows from the recovery factory - discs
    Update the BIOS
    Tried to update the firmware of the drive-, but the update said that this was not necessary.

    Tried with Nero, Windows, InterVideo - nothing.

    As it is now a working machine that I can't afford 3 months back in time to send it off and watched it (that's how long it took the last time) and my nearest dealer of Toshiba is in place at the other end of the country.

    Suggestions for things that I can try out would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    The new drive can read CDs but can not burn anything. Am I wrong?
    Or the drive cannot recognize the media that in the Windows operating system?
    You said that you have reinstalled the widows. In this case, you used the drive.

    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager. Restart the unit. Now check if you can use CDs and DVDs

  • Re: Satellite A200 - DVD player can read but cannot write

    Hello

    Some time ago my DVD writter has stopped working. I have Windows 7 with the latest toshiba drivers.

    The DVD is very good playback of the inserted cd/dvd, the unit is OK in Device Manager, but when you write a DVD it fails somewhere over 50% with "unknown error."

    I tried Nero and standard windows app.

    What do you recommend?

    Hello

    Did you test different DVD from different manufacturers?
    I had a similar problem in the past and since I use TDK R DVDs and CDs and these discs work correctly.

    I also recommend cleaning the DVD player with alkohole laser lens and the tip of the batting.

  • Satellite A50: DVD player does not read DVD only CD

    On my Satellite A50 DVD drive can only read CDs now but not DVD. So I'm not able to use the recovery disc.
    My BIOS is up to date, I think.

    Hello

    Well, what can I say? For me, this looks like a disk failure.
    Maybe the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive is able to read the CD.
    I don't think that the replacement of disc will help you :(

  • I need a update for my HP DVD player & not rely on Microsoft

    I have a problem with HP DVD & I tend to disagree if is saying that my DVD drive (HP DVD RW AD - 7586H) must be replaced. My dvd player works when he wants (has a clean spirit). The last update for my DVD drive is 21/06/2006 (7 years and enjoyed passing updated driver). Ive uninstalled my DVD drive & reinstalled after startup & has nothing there is never, ever a update for my via DriverBooster, DriverScanner or my in-kind Assistant from HP DVD drive & I used a certain programs to update my driver (Driverbooster, DriverScanner etc.). NEVER. If HP can give me a BIOS update, why not send me a DVD Player update through me HP Support Assistant HP?  Well, I think this is a time of combat that HP should create an update to solve all the problems of DVD rather than depend on Microsoft to fix it. If my DVD drive was well Windows I would use the microsoft Fixits, but since it is a HP DVD drive, I think HP should solve the problem, not Microsoft.

    What you see in the Device Manager is the driver control for the dvd player, what are you really need to look at is the version of the firmware on your dvd player & see if a newer firmware is available.

    Usually many even intermittent faults are more material than firmware, readers are very cheap but & can access a job of 2 minutes to replace if necessary more you a better quality disc & spec as you wish.

    I think KH21 is new firmware for this dvd player.
