• Portege R700-1E8: DVD player will not eject tray

  Hello
  My DVD does not open the tray.
  When I hit eject I hear any attempt to open and after a few seconds the lights go on but the drawer does not open.

  Is there a solution for this. I unplugged my PC and I tried ejecting with power on my PC and it works well, able to open and close the knob. I know that it is software related, but I don't know how to fix it.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you, Iris

  Hello

  > Is there a solution for this.

  There should be a small, very small hole near the eject button.
  You can open the drawer manually insert a thin object such as staple or paper clip into this hole.
  The tray should eject and you should be able to insert a disc

• In the BIOS boot order stopped showing my external DVD player

  I use a laptop HP Compaq presario V3000 series, model no. V3018TU. I use a DVD drive with her as my internal DVD player does not work properly.

  External DVD drive functions correctly after windows starts. The problem is that he displayed in the boot order. I want to install Ubuntu alongside with XP. I am not able to give priority to installing Ubuntu on boot as it is not showing in the boot order. After starting my laptop, it starts to load XP.

  That's what I was doing just before this problem arose. Everything was fine. I was installing Ubuntu along side Windows XP my laptop and in-between the installation got stuck and my hard drive was not working when I rebooted, I made my hard drive to work somehow and then I found another problem, i.e.my external DVD drive is not showing in the boot order. All the other things i.e.my hard drive, internal DVD player (does not work correctly) etc., appear but except for my external DVD player. I need my external DVD player to display in the boot order to install ubuntu.

  Help me fix the problem. Thanks in advance.

• Portege R700 - slow DVD burning

  all of a sudden for some reason any CD/DVD burn on my new Portege R700 has almost ground to stop. It worked fine initially, but now won't have high peaks of 1 MB/sec... it is a REAL pain...

  The problem occurs with both the DVD player built-in and a USB connected drive that has worked well for years, so there must be a problem with o/s or H/S any. am about to update the BIOS but with no real hope

  I did some research on Google and things seem to point to the IDE controller issues. I took some advice and remove / reinstall the controller, but to no avail...

  someone else has the same problem - or, more importantly, a solution please?

  in some desparation

  Hello

  not easy to say why it is burning so slow. have you tried burning with other discs and programs?

• Portege A600-133: DVD player disappears from my computer

  Hello

  I have a laptop Portege A600-133.
  First of all, it is slow at the opening of my computer screen.

  Second: after ejecting a disc dvd or cd, Windows still shows the contents of the disc, the system hangs for a while, a USB unplug sound can be heard and the dvd player disappears from Windows (in my computer / Explorer / Device Manager)

  What this may be?

  I did already the round of upper/lower filters in the registry, but it does not solve the problem...
  I opened the computer laptop and checked the wiring to the dvd drive, cleaned the contacts, supported on the connectors.

  But the problem is still there...
  OS = Windows XP SP3

  Kind regards

  Arjan

  Hello

  My first idea was to remove the upper and lower registry key filters, but it seems that you have already done this.

  Nevertheless, here is a knowledge of MS on the upper and lower filters article mentioned.

  Hmm if the unit is not present in the device manager then this means that the device is not connected or he's dead

  You should check if the ODD (optical disc) is recognized in the BIOS.
  You should also check if it of possible to boot from the bootable CD.

  If this is not possible then it may mean that your WEIRD malfunction

• Portege R830 - Toshiba DVD Player missing

  Drive DVD - Portege R830 (03N00701)

  I can find no trace of the software Toshiba Video Player or Toshiba DVD player. My dealer told me simply that "they probably don't put more ' and told me to use Windows Media Player. Still the .pdf manual has clear instructions to use it.

  I'm supposed to have a Toshiba DVD player on board and if not, what can I download online?

  G Hey Lauri

  According to the specification for the Portege R830 series you should have The Toshiba DVD Player software.
  However you can download it here,

  [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK]

  I have not used because I used to use a freeware prog. called VLC because it plays one of these video file formats that I tried on it.

  I have Satellite R830-143 and relatively speaking, it has the same specifications as the Portege and had the DVD player when I bought it a month ago.

  Seems dealers will tell you anything without even bothering to check.

  Best wishes

• Connect the external DVD player to Satelite Z930

  Hello world

  I recently bought a Toshiba external dvd drive, which officially supports win7 and Vista (no mention of 8) of the brand.

  The external dvd drive is model PA3834A-1DV2 aka Portable SuperMulti Drive

  When I connect this drive with one or two USB connections (SuperMulti drive has 2 USB connections), there's enough power to the drive eject and spin, but the computer does not display the drive in my computer. It is displayed in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation however.

  Y at - it no formal or informal word there is a way for this device works with Windows 8 on the Z930?

  My apologies if I should have posted this in a different thread.

  Which is really strange. I have the external BD drive and it is automatically recognized by Win7 or Win8.
  You use original Win8 preinstalled that you got with your laptop or you install on your own?

• Portege R700 - external monitor color is purple

  The external monitor is with the main color purple.

  The labtop detects the right monitor and all works well, but it is from today a main color purple throughout.

  Its TSF even a projector!

  What about the internal display?
  The color purple appears on the internal screen too?

  In case the internal monitor is OK, the graphics chip should also be OK and in this case, I think that the video output port (RGB / HDMI) or the cable connecting the two devices that can be touched.

  In which case the color purple would appear too on the internal display, then the GPU (graphics chip) was malfunctioning.

  PS: what model of laptop you have excatly and how you connect the external monitor/projector to laptop?

• Satellite A45-S250: how to use the recovery CD if the DVD player does not work

  Hi all
  First of all, apologize for my English, I'm french :)

  So my problem is that I would like to re - install everything on an A45-S250 using the recovery CD.
  But the main problem is that the internal DVD player no longer exists.

  I try plugging in an external DVD drive, but the laptop won't start on it.

  I have seen that it can start with a disk, lan or SD card drive. But with opportunities of theses, how power reinstall everything include in the recovery CD?

  I may have a usb floppy drive, so I'll be able to boot from a bootable disk. but then how to start the process of recovery CD?
  I will prefer to use the recovery as a home standart WinXP CD, because I know that the OEM series will not work in an original version of Windows XP...

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello Kubs

  I see only one solution: you have to somehow use external DVD player and make it visible to your laptop. I try didn t, but I guess you need to start your laptop using WXP startdisc and load the MS-DOS driver for external device.
  If you will have success to access external hard drive I guess that you will be able to start the recovery procedure.

• External DVD USB question

  Small question.

  Currently, using Parallels with Win7 virtual machine.  I plug in my external dvd player via the USB port to and everything is fine, but it shows in my Win7 virtual machine as a network drive with a different drive letter every time.  The software, I'm trying to run requires the CD in the drive, even where it has been installed, so it's obviously a problem.  I can't afford to uninstall and reinstall the software every time that I want to use.

  Not usb drives mount merge properly with the same drive letter every time?  Or at least to mount it as a drive off-grid that will allow me to change the drive letter in disk management if need be?

  I would like to know before you buy, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you people.

  Using VMware Fusion Professional 5.0.3 on an early 2013 MacBook Pro with the retina (15.4/2.8/16GB/768GB FLASH) I just tested, several times, the SuperDrive Apple USB to the Virtual Machine directly as a USB device connect/disconnect and whenever he maintained initially assigned drive letter.  It was also shown as a normal DVD - RW drive and not as a network drive.

• Can Portege R700 - I change the DVD player with HARD drive?

• Portege R700 - restoration of utility for the DVD player

  On my laptop (Win7x64), I only need to restore the software DVD player. Yes, I could restore the system to factory default from the HARD drive or my recovery disks self-made, but according to the manual, it's a process all or nothing. It's really the last thing I need, because the relocation of all my other software after a factory default reset would take me a day or two.

  After hours of searching for a solution to no avail, I'm desperate for help, please.

  Hello

  You want to install the DVD playback software pre-installed? This tool isn't available for download for Windows 7 64 bit and cannot be installed with the entire recovery image recovery disk.

  But why to install a DVD player? Just use VLC media player which can play a large number of other audio and video files. It s freeware nice tools and makes unnecessary DVD playback software. You can download it here:
