Re: Satellite A200 - DVD player can read but cannot write

Hello

Some time ago my DVD writter has stopped working. I have Windows 7 with the latest toshiba drivers.

The DVD is very good playback of the inserted cd/dvd, the unit is OK in Device Manager, but when you write a DVD it fails somewhere over 50% with "unknown error."

I tried Nero and standard windows app.

What do you recommend?

Hello

Did you test different DVD from different manufacturers?
I had a similar problem in the past and since I use TDK R DVDs and CDs and these discs work correctly.

I also recommend cleaning the DVD player with alkohole laser lens and the tip of the batting.

    Hi all

    I need help. My laptop cd/dvd driver does not recognize the discs inside. It only happens when I try to burn a disc. She can read but not burn the discs. What could be the solution? I tried different brands, the last time it was Maxell. The manual suggests Mitsubishi discs, but I'm not sure that it only works with the Mitsubishi discs. It can read any kind of disc.

    So I'm in trouble, please help.

    Hello

    In the manual, you will find a list of media recommended because this media has been tested and were working properly.
    However, I use TDK CDs and DVDs and it works as well.
    Juan suggested in another ad that sometimes 3rd applications or DVD copy locks are responsible for some driver problems:

    What I mean is that it is not easy to give a generally the solution of these problems.
    You should try different media, burning software and if it doesn t work so it s is a malfunction of the equipment. In this case, you will need to replace the drive.

    You can try the steps to follow

    -Try to remove upper and lower filters. If you n t know how, read this Microsoft KB article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    -Remove the drive from Device Manager CD/DVD, and then restart the laptop. After the reboot of the CD/DVD drive will be recognized again. Maybe it works.

    -Perhaps there is dust on the lens. You should try to clean the lens of the CD/DVD drive.

    In the worst cases, the CD/DVD drive must be replaced :(

    Hello

    You can try to open the CD/DVD drive using something small and thin. Near the eject button, you should find a small hole.
    You have to slide - in the little thing and should manually open the CD/DVD drive.

    Then try to insert a CD or DVD disc and close the CD/DVD drive.
    Check if the drive can read data from the disc.

    I would recommend also check if the CD/DVD drive would eject the disc by pressing eject button check different opportunities.

  • Qosmio F30 - 112 - DVD player can read and burn DVDs

    Hey everybody!

    Here's the problem: my DVD-ROM won't read some DVDs, it does not burn. In Nero when it start burning error pop up and the message is: Power calibration error

    I tried with all the testers for writer and reader of alerady and they all did not find any problem. They said that the recorder and player work properly. I even reinstalled twice end it always shows me this error and it will not burn or read some DVD Windows Vista (which I tried to read another computer and there is no problem). I tried to clean it with cleaning and nothing.

    I think that this problem started since I've updated the firmwire F103, but I do not know...

    Help please.

    Hello!

    Was the update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive or have you another one? In my view, the drive could be faulty due to a bad firmware

    But before you exchange the drive, you should try to remove the upper and lower filters in the Windows registry:
    (1) start 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.

    Have you tried to boot from the recovery CD Toshiba?
    Try to do it. If the CD/DVD drive may start on the recovery CD and then everything goes well with the material.
    Sometimes the CD / DVD cannot be read by incorrect registry entries.

    Then try to reinstall the operating system and check if the drive can handle the Toshibas recovery CD!

  • Satellite L30-134 PSL33E: CD/DVD player can't read data CD

    I bought my laptop (Satellite L30-134 PSL33E) 4 months ago and I had no problem with the optical drive of my Satellite. But yesterday, I discovered that my drive is no longer can read data CDs.

    I created a CD with the Toshiba ToDisc utility which contained MP3s. The CD works fine on another computer but when I try to play them on this computer Windows laptop tells me that the CD is blank and asks me if I want to save data.

    It doesn't have this problem with the DVD, I can read and write perfectly. My optical drive is a CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S. Windows says I have the latest driver for it (5.1.2535.0) but it says it's from 2001 (?) in the properties under the selected hardware.

  • Satellite A200-1js: I can burn DVDs only at 4 x

    Hello people.

    My of my Satellite A200-1js dvd rom is not working very well. When I try to burn, a dvd is only recording at 4 x.
    But I want more speed because the original dvd are 16 x and it can operate at this speed.

    A firmware update fix this?

    If yes how can I do this?

    Thnkx

    As far as I know burning and playback speed depends on the material (CD/DVD drive). Looks like your CD/DVD drive can burn to DVD at 4 X max.

    > A firmware update fix this?
    Don t think so; first an update is not available, and second, the material is not able to burn faster.

    By the way; I burn my DVD still at 1 x because the quality is much better and more DVD players can read burned environment!

    Hello

    Well, what can I say? For me, this looks like a disk failure.
    Maybe the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive is able to read the CD.
    I don't think that the replacement of disc will help you :(
