• Satellite A100: CD/DVD drive does not appear in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

  The CD/DVD drive does not appear in the window manager and I can't incert CD
  The BIOS displays "none" instead of "optical device".

  This means that the CD device is dead?

  Hey Micky,

  Unfortunately it's probably :-(. You can try to remove the optical drive and then reinsert it into Notepad, and then marketing and see if it is recognized as a new device.

  Check also that it is not displayed in Device Manager and if it is remove before trying the above.

  Kind regards

• Re: Satellite A100-1VG - DVD drive disappearing

  Hello

  I have problems with the CD/DVD-RW drive on my Satellite A100-1VG. In fact, from time to time he disappears. It will not work to CDs or DVDs and it does not appear on my computer. The only mention of "Hard disks" in bed Device Manager "FUJITSU MHY2120BH ATA Device", which I think is my DVD player.

  I tried downloading new drivers without result. Unfortunately, my warranty expired, so I can't just kick the Toshiba laptop to be fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thank you very much in advance.

• Of Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive does not write CD

  My A100 running Vista cannot burn CD whatever CD I insert for registration, do not see it A100. DVD burning is OK. Weird and irritating. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Don t use Roxio program to burn the CD.
  Use Nero! It of much better! I also use it and I m very happy.

  I noticed that Roxio modifies the registry key, and so sometimes the CD/DVD drive cannot read or burn some mediums.

  Delete the Upperfilter and UpperFilter in this key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  and restart the laptop

• Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive is not listed in the BIOS or Device Manager

  1. the original drive does not work. After inserting a disc shines the light of the drive and it runs - but nothing else.
  A little investigation shows no optical drive listed in the BIOS or Device Manager (naturally).

  2. perhaps I would reinsert the disc, but I can't find any instructions on internet about this disc removal/replacement.
  Or in the operating manual.

  Can someone direct me to these instructions?

  Thank you very much

  S manual is not the same thing as maintenance manuals. Please note that this is not the same and the exact description on laptop procedure disassembly is only authorized service.

  Anyway, as far as I know the optical disk drive is fixed with a screw and it can be removed from the underside. The screw is placed near the cover of exact memory on the optical drive. Not on side cooling event, but on the other side.

  Be careful because everything you do is at your own risk.

• To the Satellite 2450-101 DVD drive failure

  Hi guys again...

  I have another problem with my old laptop Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 which I hope you can help me with.
  The original DVD-rom drive - a Teac DW - 224th - went "off the radar" a couple of times a year and only re - appear in my computer after a re-boot, but he then quickly disappear again.

  It is curious that the drive is still listed in device as Manager works correctly.
  Would have to be a complete reinstallation to get it back again when the process would start over.

  Now during the boot process, a message appears at the top of the screen saying "error Eide...
  I bought a new replacement brown-box DVD - RW double layer drive PC World - a Sony IA2604H - and has installed but it's exactly the same thing but this time she is mentioned in as a 'CD-rom SCSI device' Device Manager... which is certainly not.
  In both cases, readers are completely dead and does not eject even trays.
  Needless to say, it's driving me crazy.

  Can you suggest anything?
  Thank you once again...
  JB

  You can boot from the bootable CD?

  If so, then try to remove the upperfilters and lowerfilters:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?ID=314060

  If you cannot start from the CD, then either:

  (1) the ODD or another component of the motherboard connector is defective / in bulk.
  (2) the original Teac ODD is defective, and the new Sony is not compatible (has the wrong master/slave settings)

• The satellite A65-S1063 DVD drive does not work with this type of disc

  Hello world
  have a strange problem - my combo does not read dvd - r of a box. Everything is ok, when I put a disk anywhere else, but in this particular area or empty or written are recognized, it crashes just after trying to read and the lamp burning. The most funny thing is that when I check the discs on other computers, everything is fine with them. Any ideas?

  Hello

• Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive problem

  Hello.. I can normally play any type of cd or dvd, the cd or the dvd turns just in the computer and it opens, when I restart the computer and put the disc in a straight line, after the cd/dvd will play... If I'm going to play another cd/dvd at a later date, I have to restart the entire procedure, by restarting the computer.

  There is no drivers on the computer... I see... However I download the latest version of itunes every time, which seems to cause the problem. In the past, it was ok, but now the problem is just constant.

  I don't know how to put this problem right.

  I hope this helps...

  Hi mate

  I agree with Alex.
  The itunes could affect the registry and change the filter settings.
  You could remove the filters manually.

  Register, choose the key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  He remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values

  Sometimes, the screen goes black 2 or 3 times but only sometimes.

  Someone at - it an ideea about how to solve this problem? anyone had similar problems

  This could be the beginning of the end for the my toshiba graphix good?

  TYVM. OPERATING SYSTEM

  Hello

  Switches of combination between the internal display and the external video output of keys FN + F5.
  So if you want by pressing the FN + F5 buttons, you can switch to external monitor, TV, or monitor external and internal display.

  In my opinion you should first update the display driver after the laptop has loaded the Vista.
  In addition, go to BIOS and set it to the default settings as well.

  Check also if the external monitor has not been defined as a main display...

  Last but not least, you could try to reinstall the whole OS in order to check if the problem still persists

• Cannot install WXP on my Satellite A100 Ethernet controller driver

  Hello

  I just installed a fresh copy of Windows XP SP2 home edition on my Satellite A100-646 model no PSAARE.

I've tried both but do not work.

  Do you have a solution?

• Blue screen with DVB - T USB TV tuner comes with the Satellite A100-165

  Hi all

  I have the Satellite A100-165 with PX1211E - 1TVD USB DVB - T TV tuner (TV savvy). I think the installation is OK because I can watch TV on my PC!

  But occasionally PC reboot with blue screen! :-((Je pense qu'il lorsque le niveau dele de signal TV est inférieur)
  I update the driver warned with the version I found on the Web from Toshiba site: savvytv-udvbtt - 10180629.zip
  But it's always the same!
  You have an idea about this problem?
  I can agree to have a bad display when the signal quality is lower, but it is very annoying to often have a blue screen and PC reboot!

  Thank you in advance on your help
  Best regards

  Hello

  I think that this can be corrected with the latest display driver. Please visit the Toshiba download page and install it.

  If the problem is fixed, please write again.

• Update on the Satellite A100 HDD

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100 (PSAA9A-0CU004), which came with a 80 GB hard drive.
  Anyone know the max HDD capacity this notebook can handle, as I want to upgrade to a larger disk.

  Thank you

  AFAIK the Satellite A100 already has a HARD drive with SATA interface.

  On the SATA interface, there is no capacity limit you can buy each HARD drive with SATA interface, what you want.
  The new HARD disk must have SATA and 2.5.
