• Equium A200-1V0-CD/DVD drive does not read disks

  Hello

  in 'My computer', it shows the drive as being there for the dvd/cd etc, and when you put a disc in it makes all the noises whirring that it starts to read, but they are actually not autostart or anything and you do not see them on the screen 'my computer '.

  It lists just like the normal reader, as thoough, that nothing was in it.

  Double clicking on it does nothing at all, nor open or explore.

  Any ideas please?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  There is a general solution but it doesn't work still, but in my opinion it s no doubt worth a try.

  First of all, you need to remove the drive from Device Manager.
  Simply access the Device Manager, mark the CD/DVD drive and remove it from the list of devices.

  In addition, you will need to access the registry using the regedit command.
  There, you have to 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 laptop and wait until the CD/DVD has been recognized again.

• Equium L300 CD/DVD Drive no longer reads disks

  There is already a thread with a similar problem to this with a different model, but it seems to be dead.

  The reader of CD/DVD on my Equium L300-148 now refuses to read the discs. It seems to burn yet, which is odd.
  That means the laser has not burned, and drivers seem to work fine.

  I see the drive in the Solution Explorer, and I can eject it with the context menu.
  I tried a "Disable" then "enable" in the Device Manager, but I have not tried to uninstall the drive and then restarting.

  Any help would be apreciated.

  Is the CD/DVD drive is able to read the Toshiba Recovery disk?
  Have you tried to boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and then reinstall the OS?
  Please check this!

  If it of possible to read the recovery disc then the STRANGE is not defective and eventually he only s software problem.

  Notes; boot from the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop to factory setting!

  Hi, I had the same problem and very frustrated as my CD/DVD stoped working after an update by Microsoft, it wouldn't read any CD or burn anything.  I had no chance after trying all the solutions offered by Micorsoft.

  I tried my laptop manufacturing couple of times and had no answer, finally I got an email from those who proposed the solution. My problem was solved following in their footsteps, and I hope it solves the current problem of other frustrated users who tried the Microsoft solution and are always looking for an answer.  I copy and paste the exact observation of my e-mail.

  "For this issue, first remove the WEIRD Device Manager device and then analyze the change for a trial.

  So again, please load by default in the BIOS as follows. Please turn on the laptop. As soon as you see the ASUS logo to enter the BIOS, press F2. Then press F9 to load the BIOS default. Then save and exit and then restart the laptop.
  The BIOS flash procedure is now complete. »

  Good luck to all.

  Hello

  The problem looks like a compatibility problems between the CD/DVD player and the discs used
  I had this problem several times, but since using the disc TDK R questions is never appeared again.
  So I agree with Luke and recommend that you try other discs.

  In addition you must remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• Satellite U400-112 CD/DVD optical drive doesn't read CD disks

  Same problem, my CD/DVD drive doesn't read any cd, but it works with the DVD. Same problem if I try to burn CDs (it does not work, clear yellow on the drive and the drive gets hard blue light on the laptop (U305) permanently on) but it's ok to burn DVDs, even if it takes long to start reading a new dvd. How to solve it? I tried to find a new firmware for the drive, but apparently does not exist (my drive is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-U10N ATA device). Can anyone help? .

  HI Arkadiusz Kulesza,

  You should try to clean the lens using a microfibre cloth. Maybe dust is on the lens it takes long to start to read the disc.

  I had a similar issue that he wasn t possible to burn a DVD and the reason was the CD/DVD drive itself. I replaced it with a new one and everything worked then! :)

  Hello

  That means only one disc can be read from your laptop and all other disks can be read properly? Well, in my opinion, it could be a disc problem, maybe it's striped s and so it can t be read to all readers.

  In your case, I would try to clean the lens of your CD/DVD drive. Therefore, you can use a microfibre cloth.
  Check it!

  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.

  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
