Re: My Satellite A200 - 28 p has stopped reading all DVD and CD

Hello

My Satellite a200 - 28 p used to read CDs and DVDs, but all of a sudden does not recognize cd or recordable cd brand he does not even recognize the recovery disc came with my laptop.

I only got November laptop of Dixon's so ask why I'm having this problem when it is relatively new. It is a hardware problem software? All patches, easy?

When I insert the disk and go to my computer it does not there be a disc in the drive of dvd - rw at all. When I double click on the dvd - rw drive, the Player automatically opens and I am asked to insert a disk, even if there is already in the drive.

Help! : o).

Hello!

I agree with Akuma. Try removing the upper and lower filters that is also described in this paper to Toshiba:
http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7801XL0000R01.htm

If it doesn't work try to boot from a bootable CD or DVD. So you can make sure if it s a software or hardware problem.

Good bye

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    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.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  • Satellite A40: drive has stopped reading the CD & DVD discs

    Does anyone know why my CD/DVD combo drive has stopped reading discs (CD and DVD). The light blinks for a while then stays on but nohting happen after that. No prompt to ask to see WMP or real player etc. Nothing at all.

    Hi André,.

    Normally, this occurs if the optical drive cannot read the titles of the index on the CD. It does this so that the built-in firmware allows to identify the disc type and recalibrate the lens as a result.

    It might, however, be something simple as having the 'autoplay' feature to take no measure for that when a disc is inserted in the optical drive will be re - calibrate the lens and then not start any software to actually read the disc.

    Try to insert a disc and then open 'My computer' and check if the optical drive is displayed. If this is the case, then try the "Explorer" (right-click on the icon). If you receive an error indicating that the disk is not accessible or the disc cannot be read, then it is likley that you have a faulty drive.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A200 plays not only will not play DVD

    I'm a first time user on this forum so Hello to everyone.

    My problem is that my Satellite A200 of (duration Vista) won't play DVD. When I try I get the following message: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. Needless to say, I've played a bit with the appropriate settings and there was no change in the situation. In a response published in another forum, someone suggested that I ditch Windows Media Player in favor of something better. I thought that the alternative program, he has proposed would be free, but it wasn't. In any case, I tried to play the DVD with other programs and received the same basic message. Is not a thing of Windows Media Player, it's a thing of DVD playback. In addition, it does not matter if WMP isn't the BEST DVD player - I just want to play DVD! I wrote to one of support from Microsoft customer care and they wrote in saying that it wasn't their problem. They consider it a "question of material". I don't buy that.

    Just a bit of history - I bought the computer second hand a good friend. Now, I don't ever remember playing a DVD on the computer, which somewhat confuses things for the following reasons. Just after I bought the computer, which is running Vista, I installed MP3 player software which has expressed its disagreement with the CD/DVD drive drivers. What I think is a quite common problem. This time Microsoft representatives were happy to help me and told me to delete two lines of registry keys. That fixed the problem to a certain extent, because now the reader a) still existed and b) could read and play CDs. But when I tried to play a DVD I got the above message.

    So as I said, I never even remember reading a DVD on the drive, I don't know if the problems are related to the problem of shock of MP3 software, although it seems unlikely that they are related. Finally, the computer has been less than a year when I bought it and in all other respects, it has been very well (unbearable slowness of Vista by derogation). Unfortunately the extended warranty is now sold out so I hope this isn't a hardware problem. The fact is that, given that I've never even played a DVD on this thing, and he plays the CD without any problem (in addition, the drive can READ DVD, he can tell me all the chapters that are on a DVD and play the files that he - she won't just play movies), I don't think it's material. I think that there is a current bug.

    If someone could shed some light on this matter, I would be eternally grateful!

    Concerning

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 8: the monitor shuts off and cannot back up to Vista

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 with original Vista. Sometimes, I have some problems with the display (I have the latest drivers).
    The monitor turns off (not as usual but it is gray instead of black) applications flow normally (I hear the music of film, this) but I can't get back into windows.

    When I push button hibernation and I try to go back to windows, I see the blue screen then the computer resets.

    It happens very often and is really frustrating because my internet disconnects and downloads.

    I don't think that the temperature is too high because I think it's cool. How to fix this?
    Maybe some graphics settings or new BIOS?

    Please help me. I can't stand it!

  • My computer has stopped recognizing my DVD burner.

    My computer has stopped recognizing my DVD burner. It will still read and write to a CD. I don't remember adding something new to the computer, but am not sure when it stopped to work with precision. The Device Manager shows his work; I tried updating the driver but it says that it is the most up to date; I uninstalled and reinstalled; I checked regedit and there are no filters; It is recognized in the BIOS. The store said it is not the hardware and you want to reformat the computer. What can I try before taking this step? Thank you.

    Hello Allisonjak,

    Thank you for your message.  You said try to update the drivers.  You go to the computer manufacturer's website and download/install the latest driver for your computer?  If this isn't the case, it is the recommended method for updating your drivers.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • Executable for freecell has stopped working... and other games too.

    Executable for freecell has stopped working... and other games too.  I tried to uninstall and re-install of the windows features option, but it did not help.  Anyone got any ideas how to fix?  Have no idea what caused the problem that I play them often.  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    Thank you all.

    Your profile problem would be assigned to a corrupted profile - if you look in the file C:\Users\, you should always have on your documents.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

    Between that and the problem with the games, it would be a good idea to perform a scan of the hard disk, just in case where it fails.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors

    Note that even though the disk check said it corrects a problem, I recommend to backup your data.

    You can also try a system restore to before the problem began:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

    It can solve the problem of profile as well, assuming that the hard drive is fine but if not follow the steps above.

  • Driver has stopped reading discs

    The DVD RW drive on my computer (Vista SP2) has stopped reading & grateful discs. When I put a disc, the green light flashes for a few seconds, then nothing. When I double-click the drive in 'My Computer', the Player automatically opens & I get an error message: "insert a disc. Please insert a disc into drive D ".

    When I looked at the driver through the Device Manager, he told me that the HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GIA-HSSN ATA device work properly. When I clicked update, it told me that the latest version of the software was already installed. Roll Back Driver was not available. I uninstalled the driver and then rebooted my machine. The driver was reinstalled, but still did not work. I did a sfc scan, who told me that there is no integrity problems. Any ideas on the course of action to take to solve this problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

Because there are 2 different BIOS versions, one for Vista (1.80) and one for XP (5.20) which means that when you Flash a BIOS XP on a computer with Vista installed then some functions do not work properly as the FN keys or the touchpad.

    If please check this out and make sure you have the appropriate BIOS installed.
