Noisy CD/DVD drive on my Satellite A60

Hi I have a Satellite A60 and for some reason any CD/DVD player makes a terrible on some CDs and DVDs, but not on the other noise. It seems that the CD is rubbing on something, but not what it now makes noises with the CD I played for centuries. Ideas please

Hi Roger,

There are two possibilities for this problem: -.

1. the CDs themselves can be slightly distorted with slightly off-center hole, which makes the disc "wobble" that turns and can cause the noise you describe.

2. the latch of blockage in your CD player can have worn insofar as it does not lock the CD in position correctly. This will also lead to a swing in the disc as it spins and the noise that accompanies it.

Since you say that noise occurs on the disks you used previously, I guess that the second of the two options is the cause then before taking any additional action I recommend to check that the drive is not loose in its mounting in your notebook.

Unfortunately, if all else fails, you may need to replace the drive.

Kind regards

    Hello

    Looking on the European driver Toshiba page?
    There is an AGP-ATI driver screen. You must download and install it.

    I assume that you have not used the Toshiba Recovery for the installation of the OS CD. Why?
    On this CD, all drivers are pre-installed and it s a better way to install the operating system.

    But if you want to manually install the OS you should do it in the right order.
    The Nice installation instruction is placed on the driver page.

  • Cd\dvd drive disappeared on Equium A60

    Hi all

    Can someone help me? I have an Equium A60. It's 18 months, outside the usual on heating problems and closing, now it starts but my DVD drive disappeared. I have a rug * a DVD-RAM UJ - 830 s. Win XP just didn't load it.

    He is no longer in 'my computer '. I'm in Control Panel of configuration and the 'systems' then 'system properties' and watched on 'Device Manager '. The drive is there, but with a big yellow exclamation point. So I checked the 'properties' it has the following message: "Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware, but does not the hardware device. (Code 41) "and troubleshooting has no use.

    More than heating cooked my drive? I've updated the drivers for it, but this has no effect.

  • You are looking for an internal DVD drive for a Satellite Pro A40

    Hello

    I'm looking for an internal DVD burner for a model Satellite Pro A40 2.88 Celeron with a currently installed CD-RW/DVD-Rom. My mother is the owner of this laptop and I want to upgrade the drive for her.

    Does anyone here know of any number of model of the DVD-RW/CD-RW/DVD-Rom that is compatible with this model.

    I want the drive to function as a DVD-Rom/CD-RW also because I do not want to lose these features. Swap the bezel above if necessary isn't a problem for me.

    Thank you

    Hello
    For this particular model, I could not find another A40 Pro which has a DVD - RW, only DVD ROM. I also suggest to buy an external DVD - RW writer because an internal hard drive will cost much more. Probably triple what external there. External, you can find for about 50 but internal will cost at least about 90 more taxes. I'm sure it is internal that correspond to this machine, but at the moment I don't have the time to research each compatible model search of the car, it's why I suggest an external drive. I hope this helps.

    Thank you

    As indicated by the user lorelei, you should always use the graphics driver from Toshiba.
    Other graphics drivers are not recommended because the risk to damage the graphics card.
    The Toshiba graphics drivers are changed. The drivers supports protection against overheating, given that the graphics cards on laptop don t use a clean cooling. Therefore, the driver is responsible for the execution. If the temperature rises the drive decreases the performance of the card to make low temp.
