• Satellite L500D - can't read/write DVD

  Hello

  About a fortnight ago my DVD drive stopped reading/burning DVD and now only times/burns CD I followed the guides to remove the upper and lower filters and reformatted my laptop to factory State and the DVD player does not work.

  I bought a new replacement drive, and is not reading the DVD either so im assuming that my original DVD player worked but there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop itself?

  I bought the laptop in November ' 09 so it is still under warranty or is there anything else I can try?

  See you soon

  Hi mitchello,.

  > and reformatted my laptop to the factory of the State and the DVD drive has failed.
  If you have tested with factory settings and it still doesn t work it s hardware malfunction but it strange why s it doesn t work with a new disk

  What program you use to read or write DVDs? I can recommend the VLC to play all the multimedia content and CD Burner XP Media Player like burning program. Both programs are freeware and works perfectly. Never had a problem with these tools.

  Have you bought a new drive to an authorized service? I ask this question because not all readers are compatible with all mobile phones due to the assignment of the different pins. If the new drive does not work you can return it for a replacement.

• Tecra A8 DVD don't read/write DVD-R 1-16 x.

  Using Sonic Record DLA, Tecra A8 DVD don't read/write DVD-R 1-16 x. Ok work on DVD - R 1-8 x and CD DVD - R 1-16 x has tested successfully on the two recent Toshiba Satellite Pro and HP Office. Have updated the Bios, software DVD-RAM and Sonic DLA.

  Hey,.

  What exactly do you mean? This means that you can t burn DVD-r with 16 x speed?
  In this case, you should check the specifications of your CD/DVD drive. Not all models support this speed of combustion. In addition, I recommend using 8 x only, he speed will give you a better quality of the burned data/average.

  You must also use different types of media. I believe that your other computers have different drives in order to test different mediums. I have a good experience with Verbatim DVD-R.

• Satellite P200 - HD-DVD Player Toshiba can not read HD-DVD

  Hello.

  I have a problem with my Satellite P200-1: can not read HD DVD. There is a message that says that the video may not be in an external device.

  The problem is the same if I try on the screen of the laptop or on the TV (Sony Bravia Full HD) with HDMI. I have the latest driver and software for vista sp1 installed...

  Some have an idea?
  Sorry to talk so badly...

  Published by: ADMIN

  I think I know what's wrong;

  Check this Toshiba TB document;

  [HD DVD title does not play ("unable to output the video to an external device"): http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1664 788xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 41741513 & stateId = 0% 200% 20 41739828]

  To resolve this problem, you will need to update the Audio driver Realtek for Windows Vista.

• Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

  I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

  Hi Bill,

  To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

  As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Portege R600 - fits compatible discs DVD player double layer?

  Care of the Australian for the * R600 PPR61A * state that contains the unti: * DVD SuperMulti Double Layer (7mm) *.
  However, the R600 does not recognize blank DVD discs dual layer using either Windows tools burn as well as Toshiba Disc Creator.

  Is this an error in the card (which is completely misleading), or do I have driver/configuration problem?

  Australian sheet is available here: http://203.56.127.51/%2fTOPIC%2fproduct_details%2fproduct%2f20090325%2f Toshiba_PortegeR600_PPR61A - 00300R_Specification_Brochure_Mar09.PDF

  Hello

  As far as I know that the same notebook can be equipped with different sides.
  So it is possible that the R600 was equipped with the STRANGE that doesn't support DL media.

  However, I would recommend checking if the STRANGE can handle DL disks.
  For example, you can use a burning software like Nero to find out which discs are supported.
  I use Nero and this software contains various options. One of the options provides details about the STRANGE House.

• Unable to add data to the Virgin DVD + RW double layer after having ejected backup problem.

  Did a backup using DVD + R double layer, and after having ejected the last media due to clerical error, I can no longer continue the backup due to the error: insert a disc - it seems that my hardware is no longer detect dual layer blank media. Works great on regular blank media 4.7 GB.

  Hi sal69,

  This problem is caused by physical limitations in DL (Double Layer) media. These limitations prevent any real use multisession. When the media is ejected, the disc session may be closed for DVD-ROM compatibility. On these discs, DVD-ROM compatibility is achieved only when the disc is complete. When the disc is finished, it is closed forever. The physical characteristics of the media require two layers will be burned so that the disc can be played in a DVD player. The two layers can be burned only by closing the disc. As soon as the disc is closed, no additional data can be added to him.

  You can follow the steps mentioned in the link below

• Carpet * a UJ-830 cannot read/write DVDs on Equium L10

  Hi, I have a laptop Equium L10. My DVD RAM mast * a UJ 830 cannot read/write to DVD discs. But it can read and write CDs.
  I have installed the latest driver but no luck. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

  This problem appears since day one?

  I ask because it looks like a hardware malfunction, to me it seems that the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive can read and write DVDs.
  What burning software do you use?
  For the most part a burning like Nero program provides an error message if the burning process failed

• CD DVD player: can not read data DVD discs that burned same machine

  Laptop with Windows Vista cannot read data DVD discs that burned same machine.  The discs work on another computer.  My laptop will read CD disks, he did, and it will play DVD movies. What's wrong?

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD &)
  Burn DVDs and CDs and read DVDs). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 parts to no function
  while others are doing so correctly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner
  could help.

  Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always
  issue.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the outside edge
  tolerances of the disks. They may be delivered, but it is usually cheaper to replace
  the reader.

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

  This troubleshooting might not help if there are problems of alignment and wear it
  is worth it.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  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
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  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.

• Dell XPS 600 read/write DVD problem

  My system is a Dell XPS 600 and has a DVD/ROM drive & a DVD RW. The drive works fine, but the DVD RW will not read/write or recognize a disc is inserted. The original drive failed when running normally with WIN XP. I replaced the drive (w/Lite-on SOHW 1633 s), responsible for all the latest drivers, flashed the firmware of the disc and nForce4, changed discs and cables, from Win XP to WIN 64 bit with the same results. The drive won't work, except when I insert the boot disk WIN XP drivers he will read and open the files as it should. Can you help me?

  Osprey4,

  I think you're right. The new drive is the problem, and I'm going to get another to confirm.

  I changed discs and the RW still does not work.

  Thanks for your help.
