New CD/DVD drive is not properly recognized on Satellite A30

Hi all

I just bought a new CD-RW/dvd-r for my Satellite A30 disk drive, and it does not recognize the new drive. It is certainly compatible (the player itself is the SD-R2412), but when I go to 'my computer' there is no cd drive it at all.

I have the feeling that it could be something to do with the code of the device in Device Manager, but I don't know how to change, what is the new number, or even what to do.

Can someone help me? -Is it something to do with the Device Manager, drivers or something else?

Thank you, Jon

Edit: I noticed there are a few other people with the same problem - but it is a different cause. For most people than what happens when the software is installed, and when they enter the Device Manager there is a yellow exclamation point.

However - this is not the case for me. This is a new piece of hardware, and there is no yellow triangle in my device manager. I think it's the wrong device i.d. as I changed the drive itself - but do not know how to go for the implementation, so that the computer makes this new record

  • CD/dvd drive does not properly

    drive will read DVDs but not cd. Once in a while, it will read a cd, but it shows the cd as empty (no space) I know that the cd is full. any help would be appreciated

    Hello

    You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
    Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    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 loose 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 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.

  • CD/DVD drive has stopped being recognized by Satellite A100 - 01 G

    I have a Satellite A100 - 01 G, but the CD/DVD drive has stopped being recognized by the machine.
    I have full Vista like the o/s.

    Help, please
    Thank you

    Hello

    Have you checked in the Device Manager if the CD/DVD player display correctly?
    Please check this!

    As a follow-up, I would recommend removing the reader of CD/DVD of the crèche of the device a restarting the laptop.
    The Windows operating system should recognize the new device (ODD) and should load the drivers again.

    Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    and reboot.

    Good luck

    Hi all
    * I have Toshiba Satellite L300D laptop and my OS is Windows Vista.*
    I don't have any driver cd... when buying. They ask me to download from internet if any necessary driver software.
    Now if I put a cd/dvd is not readable. The option of cd/dvd drive is invisible in the my computer window.
    I renewed my anti virus and checked the laptop. There a few virus and I deleted all the viruses.

    Please give me the solution.

    Please check if the CD/DVD drive is listed in Device Manager.
    If it s listed, then it means that ODD has been recognized by the Windows operating system.

    In this case, try this;
    -Remove the STRANGE to the list of devices.
    -remove the filters above and below of this registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  • Qosmio G30 - a new CD/DVD drive is not working properly

    Hiya all

    I hope someone can help me. I had to replace my TS-L802A drive by another of the same model, except that when I replaced the drive I have problems to boot the CD and the laptop (Qosmio G30) rejects saying CD error at startup.

    I managed to install the operating system from a flash drive and it works great except for the side of cd rom of things. I have the flash player so that the laptop to recognize it? If yes how can I do to do that. I think the chipset for the optical drive is set as slave or something and not master.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    The readers of CD/DVD slimline for laptops are controlled by the firmware.
    The firmware controls the master/slave/c-selc settings.

    You need a player that is compatible with Qosmio G30.
    Your drive you bought may be compatible with a laptop, but if the settings are not compatible with Qosmio G30/bios of the controller, then, you wouldn't be able to use it

    There are no jumpers or anything else that could be changed as mentioned that he controlled by software

  • Drive DVD - RW does not properly on the Satellite A40-702

    It's on my lap top of Toshiba Satellite SA-40-702. Five years ago.
    Hi, I have looked at the wires for this problem and have not been able to identify a similar thread yet.

    My dvd - rw play a purchased audio music cd and it will also work with disks that came with the laptop. S something works well... However, recently I tried to burn a piece of music (from i-tunes) and he showed in white, but strangeley the cd did play the piece of music OK in a machine at work. I tried now to show some other discs that I recorded on this laptop in January, and they now show that the discs and I cannot see their content (they were photos and text documents). They worked before.

    I have this weekend made many attempts of 30 photos of burn, and I tried two different brands of dvd discs blank, but even if the laptop says 'burning to disc' etc when I try to view the burned disc, there is nothing on it!

    I wonder if anyone has any suggestions please. I tried to clean the blue eye with a brush hairs inside the drawer of the dvd, that's why I expect that the next step may be just to buy a few more recent records?

    Hello

    My personal opinion is; the reader cannot process the community burned due to the stressed out laser lens. It turns out that your laptop and the drive is older than 5 years.
    I put t know how the drive has been used in recent years, but due to the long period of possible use of s that the lens cannot read data from the CD/DVD now.

    This is not unusual. My brother s book can not read the CD/DVD that were burned a year ago, I presume that it of the same reason the s drive laser lens problem

    Hmm you don t have many possibilities, you can try to burn these discs with another computer/laptop and then could check if you red the data.
    The last option would replace the drive

  • DVD drive does not burn/erase RS - Satellite P100-347

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite p100-347 PSPA6E laptop computer. It has a DVD burner with model number: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N (firmware pt06). It has capabilities to burn any DVD (please see example using dvdino: http://tinyurl.com/2hbpqv).

    However, I can't rewrite on my Maxell dvd + rw (1.4 x speed) dvd. whenever I go to a software application to erase a dvd that I wrote on, it says unrecognized format. For example, Nero says "this disc is not rewritable and therefore can not be deleted. Please insert a rewritable disc.

    The disc is rewritable because it says on the cover and also it burns on my friends rewritable dvd burner :(

    Please can anyone help:(je suis vraiment coincé et il serait beaucoup aprécié)

    Hello

    As you probably know, readers don t support all kinds of media.
    I mean not every CD - R, DVD - RW, CD + RW, DVD + RW, and so on, average is supported.
    I can confirm these issues in my practical knowledge I tested for several months and many media, I use the TDK on my laptop and only CD or DVD media.
    They work best with my drive...

    But I'll give you a tip:
    You should remove other software burning like sonic, etc if you use Nero. The joint software sometimes makes trouble.

  • DVD player would not properly work on Satellite series

    After I installed the SP1 of Vista, I had to solve a number of problems, but the main one is currently the hard drive is working but without acknowledging any contents of the disc.

    I had to remove the upper & lower filters in the registry as shown in the windows forum to get the player to appear and kick again, but what i've got.

    Any help please?

    Bill

    Hello Bill

    SP1 is not yet supported and every strange question may be the result of a Microsoft patch included in SP1. Either roll you back OS to an earlier time using System Restore to see if the problem persists without SP1 or wait to see if Toshiba or Microsoft has a fix for this.

  • Battery is not properly recognized on Satellite L500

    Hi all.

    I ve Toshiba Satellite L500 with Windows7. Two days ago a red cross appears on the indicator of battery and opinion: 30% available plugged in, does not support. Consider replacing your battery.
    And when I plug off AC Laptop stops. I replaced the battery but the same action when taken outside the computer AC stops. Don't run some antivirus programs, no results. I installed a battery tester who told me that the battery is not installed. Run the program CFS files not bad.
    Haven't tried with the Power Manager no results.

    My battery works well on other laptop similar.
    Pls help!

    Hello

    Remove the battery and start your laptop with AC power only. When the operating system is loaded, turn the battery and check if the battery will recognize.
    If this isn't the case, I guess there is a problem of electronic power supply on the motherboard and it should be checked by the Toshiba service provider.

  • Equium A80 - BIOS does not detect new CD/DVD drive

    Hello

    I had to change a DVD player in my laptop Equium A80 earlier and now have problems using the restore DVD to my laptop to factory settings. I updated the BIOS with the latest version available, but the BIOS is still not able to see the DVD player, so does not start a restore. The DVD is fine once Windows has loaded and works very well on another PC under BIOS. I tried another DVD drive on the laptop, but he is unable to see anyone.

    Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

    Thank you!

    I tried different discs and none are read which is very annoying, because I can not install my new printer! When I checked the driver, the following message is displayed:

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hello

    19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Normally the above will solve this problem otherwise working your way down through them, even if you did
    them before.
