• Satellite L30: reader will not read CDs or DVDs

  In the evening, I was recently testing on various operating systems on my laptop and eventually decided to return to Windows Pro.
  It was working fine until a couple of days, but then the hard drive started making a rattling noise, like R/RW head stuck.

  Now it will not read CDs or DVDs, can someone please help and tell me if it's a failure of the software or hardware, and the best way to fix it?

  Hello

  The drive problems are not uncommon and may still occur.
  For the most part the purpose of calibration training does not work correctly.
  The objective must be calibrated in the correct position until the player will read or write to the media.
  This fault is not reperable and especially the drive needs to be replaced!

  All the other standard size DVD, CD works good about it. Its complex and as well as irritating.

  Any suggestions?
  Why his messedup?

  Seems that the lens cannot read this miniDVD s. Maybe cannot calibrate the lens of the drive and the miniDVD is so illegible.
  Try the sascha. Maybe you are a lucky man, and it works.
  If this is not the case, try to remove the drive physically from the laptop. Restart the laptop without the drive. The BIOS and Windows shouldn't t recognizes the drive.
  Then stops again, put the drive in the notebook and the startup of the device.
  The laptop should recognize the drive and must indicate the firmware again.

• Satego X 200 - 21 d: drive DVD TS-L632D is not read and burn DVD-R DL

  Hallo,

  I have problems with my DVD SATEGO X 200 - 21 d
  TS-L632D read a burn only DVD-R DL discs.
  I contacted Toshiba support via e-mail and asked
  for a new disk firmware, but the answer did not solve my problem.

  There are only updates in the download area of toshiba,
  but not for my car model. I can send my laptop
  for the money to a service partner, to check this problem.

  I do not understand this! I bought a laptop upscale
  for 1,700 EUROS and there is no support for the update of the firmware
  available to solve problems with newer drives?

  If I get this problem in the WEB, there is an a large number of
  questions and problems with playback and engraving
  Discs DVD-R DL with this drive model!
  How is it possible?

  I hope for some advice to get an update of the firmware player
  to solve the problems of reading and writing DVD - R DL discs.

  Hello

  I found the update of the firmware on the European driver Toshiba page!

  Satego X 200 - 21 d seems to belong to the PSPBEE and the Toshiba page provides the update of the firmware to TO02.
  It s for the TS-L632 reader.

  But generally not all CD or DVD of all manufacturers is fully supported.

  My knowledge of the user manual should provide a details and info on compatible and tested media.
  Using recommended media, you can be sure they will be compatible and will work 100%.

• Problems with the reader of CD/DVD on the Satellite A350-12j

  Hello

  I just bought my laptop, Toshiba Satellite A350-12j, two weeks ago and am generally happy with it, but I can't seem to read correctly the data DVD.

  When I try to play a DVD that I burned on my data desktop PC, the laptop starts to read, but takes very, very long time.
  When I try to copy the data on the DVD of my laptop, it takes forever (I tried once for 45 minutes and then abandoned) and after a while it starts to claim it can read most of the files on the DVD.
  It is not the data on the disks which raises problems, cause when I transfer those my desktop to my laptop computer on a Flash DRIVE instead of a DVD, files are copied immediately without problem.

  At first I thought it could be due to the DVDs themselves (I use TDK DVD + ROM), or perhaps that Vista was the culprit, but I tried the same exact discs on my friends laptop Medion also running Vista and it is having no problem whatsoever.

  Anyone have any ideas what could be the cause, or better yet, which could solve it?

  Thanks in advance!

  Eva

  > When I try to play a DVD that I burned on my data desktop PC, the laptop starts to read, but takes very, very long time.

  Hmm I think this could be a problem of DVD not entirely compatible.
  My laptop drive s couldn t read or write DVDs from different manufacturers.
  I tested a lot of disks and now I m using TDK DVD-R.

  But it of always different. Maybe your drive would not support this disc correctly, but another disk would be better supported

  I think you should test it simply. There are many manufacturers different drive don t give up buddy

• Satellite A40: Drive does not read CD but DVD

  I have a SatA40 (now almost 3 years ago) and cd/dvd unit does not work well, the cd cannot read or write, but the dvd reads all my DVDs.

  Does anyone have an idea why we don't have, and the other does not? (Everyone I mention that he thinks it's strange - thought if does not work the other shouldn't be.)

  Hello

  You sounds of description as the lens of the drive cannot calibrate in the right position.
  Usually before the player will read or write the middle of what the lens must be calibrated.
  In you case the lens can not calibrate and that's why the drive does not recognize the CD.

  Usually in this case, the drive must be replaced.
  But maybe you are a lucky man. Try to clean the lens gently. But be careful

• Satellite A50 543 reads CDs and DVDs sporadically

  I have a problem with my DVD-ROM in my laptop. It only reads CD and DVD sporadically. But most of the time that I dwell in a DVD and it try the bed. But after a few seconds it stops and the DVD - ROM led lights constantly.

  My question is, can I get a new DVD-ROM? Or I have to send it back to Toshiba?

  Sorry, my English is not the best ;)

  Hello

  For me, this looks like a disk failure. After repeatedly the lens can not calibrate properly and so sometimes s not possible to read, burn with different media.
  You should know that internal portable players using different parameters like master/slave or c - salt. These parameters is not editable as on drives for desktop PC.
  Therefore, it is very important that you will use and bye a compatible.

  If you want to know which drive will work on your laptop, so I recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for details.

• HP DVD Writer does not read or write DVD, but only the CD

  My HP DVD 1135t burner does not read or write DVD but only the CD. What is the problem? Please help me.

  CD/DVD players use different lasers for reading/writing DVD from the CD.  All indications would point to your laser DVD as having failed.  You could try to remove your drive and install it in another computer to see if the problem follows your player or your computer, but my bet is that the drive must be replaced.

• Windows media player cannot read CDs and DVDs

  MS supports says my Player DVD is dead and needs a new drive. So, I just install a new ROM DVD and still have the same problem - cannot read CDs and DVDs.

  When I play the CD, I always get the error meessage--(lecteur Windows media a rencontré une erreur lors de la lecture de lecteur de CD en mode numérique...). 'Digital' is selected under the tool-> properties-> device.

  When I play DVD, it is frozen my laptop or keep spinning and froze the Windows Explorer and the reader.

  I was able to read DVDs and CDs once after a few restart. During playback of CD the WMP abruptly stopped with error message and since that time cannot play CD DVD & more.

  So far, I did a few fixs that I found online and nothing wroks:

  * No upperfilter or UpperFilter registry

  * Uninstall and let the laptop automatically reinstall the driver

  * Ms. Fix it gives different results every time I run the fix-(1) detects no problem and therefore no patches have been applied (2) the main media in the CD drive is not readable (same CD has played correctly when using external USB DVD rom)

  Can someone help and let me know what that could be the problem and how to fix it! Thank you!

  Hi Amy,

  You can read the following article to clear the Windows Media Player database and check if it helps.

  You cannot view, add, or delete items in the library of Windows Media Player 11

  If you have any third-party media player installed on the system, then check if the DVD player works with it.
