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.

  • Re: Satellite L650-11F, DVD drive disappeared Windows 7 after that BIOS installed

    Hello

    I would like to ask for help about this problem:

    Today one of the programs from TOSHIBA, that came with my laptop (L650-11F), warned me about an update of the BIOS (v1.80) after download and install my DVD drive disappeared from Win7 and it has a continuous yellow light on it. It does not even open when I press the eject button.

    I have however maybe install the old version 1.60 back would help, but TOSHIBA does not keep older drivers version apparently.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello!

    Restart your computer. During the startup, at the beginning, press the F2 key to enter the BIOS Setup. In the configuration, press F10 to restore all the default BIOS settings. Save the changes and exit.

    Post here if your problem solved.

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    To be honest, I don't understand. You are talking about the Cd/Dvd drive missing or Dvd Toshiba player?

    Anyway, try this:

    1. access to the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Reboot the laptop and wait for the CD/DVD drive would appear once again

    or

    2 go to the page of the Toshiba driver and download dvd player

    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}

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Any ideas... ?? Thanks in advance...

  • Satellite - DVD drive disappeared

    Installed new software, the other day to 'catch' a video of my VCR - filled my Vista disk so I uninstalled after you put the video on my hard drive. Now my DVD drive does not appear on my computer.

    I tried microsoft automated troubleshooting - it installs the driver for the device and the ram, but it disappears again each time I turn off my pc - and the dvd drive still does not work. I don't know what I'm doing here so if anyone has any simple information how to fix this, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you

    Hi writerchic,

    I put t know what Microsoft troubleshooting you have tried or what it does exactly, but in your case, I would like to delete the server - and lowerfilteres in the registry. Therefore, follow these steps:

    (1) run regedit (start-> Run-> regedit)
    2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart your laptop.

    It work?

  • Satellite P100-188-CD/DVD drive disappear when install iTunes

    I have a P100-188 and when I install itunes (ver 7.7.11 I think) my D drive disappeared.
    If I check in the device manager that there is an error in there against the disc.

    The only way I can get back the player must do a system restore.
    Does anyone know the version of iTunes that I have to install to bypass this or the correct driver for the reader?
    The device has a drive HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N installed.

    Thank you very much

    I remember one of my friends had a similar question. The error always appears after the new installation of iTunes.
    He called me and I tried different things, I reinstalled the application, clean the OS, etc, but anything :( I was really desperate

    Finally, I decided to reinstall the OS to see if there could be something wrong with the Windows installed. And that was the key of the OS has been confused don t I know why, but after the new OS installation (it was a hard way) worked the iTunes

    If you can first try reinstalling iTunes, then clean the operating system using CCLeaner and then try again.
    If this can't help, then a new install of the OS may be necessary!
