Re: Satellite L500D - cannot get the optical disc drive to work

Back again with this problem and this thread began again as it appears the original thread has been 'locked' ~ been awhile so it is aceptable.

I think that the TS-L633C TSST DVD/CD RW on my system is in fact die slowly, now I can not yet use Toshiba DVD PLAYER to watch DVDs. See http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=204206#204206 for the story.

Using the windows tool "FixIt" on a blank DVD got all green ticks OK but when I went to play DVDs ~ nothing!

How the reader '' hunt '' when I put any DVD in it and then fails, suggests that the reader was not not little by little and I must be looking for a new. Shame really, because I haven't used at all, hence the long time between my responses on this forum.

So OK, where from here.

Nearest service center is a 5 hour drive, and I will send this laptop for my financial and other stuff done busy resourses is more allow me to simply replace this system and start from scratch.

I'm ready to buy another drive, but cannot locate any online (new) and I am not aware if there are other brands / types which would be appropriate.

Toshiba Satellite L500D-PSLKOA-00U009 - TSST TS-L633C DVD/CD RW

Any ideas anyone?

To be honest, the situation is strange to me, and I think that you spent too long with all this.

In my opinion, you have to manage fast. The fist issue is: either defective or not ODD?
The reasons why it doesn't work with a Toshiba DVD player is not relevant at all. You can test it with VLC media player to see how it works.

So I recommend you to follow:
You should not change your preinstalled operating system that you use for work or anything else. Try to get another HARD drive. Swap and install the OS by using recovery disc. Test the functionality of the WEIRD with the settings to be sure that the problem persists or not.

In the end, if you are willing to trade the player s check Manual of use and you will be find the list of all compatible optical disc readers you can use with your model of laptop.

  • Satellite P100 - cannot get the CD/DVD writer to work under WXP Pro

    Hello

    I recently updated my Satellite P100 - 188 (PSPA3E) to run Windows XP Pro SP2.

    I can't have the CD/DVD writer to work well. I looked on the downloads page, but there seems to be nothing. It reads the CD/dvd, but allow me to write to them. If I put a blank CD in nothing happens.

    Someone has ideas how to get this working again?

    Hello

    And then you want to install a nVidia display driver?
    LOL :D

    I think that you can not install a nVidia display driver because your laptop is equipped with an Intel chipset and graphics card.
    You will never be able to install nVidia display driver and thus make the message that you do not have the correct material.

    Intel and nVidia graphics cards graphics cards are different things, so don't mix do not!
    Some P105 was equipped with nVidia cards and others with Intel card and it seems that you have an Intel card.

  • Get the old hard drive to work on the new processor

    I am a PC Tech company with problems on PC at home.

    My Win 7 Home Premium Dell Studio T435/9000 dead.  It was a motherboard problem, I chose not to replace the CPU/Mo with a duplicate.  The hard disk MBR is good, I could read it and when I installed in an Optiplex 990 at work, it is initialized.

    I had the chance to receive a new Dell T5610 with 2 CPUs of a parent.  It came with professional Win7 preinstalled on an SSD, UEFI boot on a GPT disk.  But all my apps are absent and even a rat-pack obsessives like me do not have all the CD and install the files for the various applications on the old hard drive.

    I want to use my old hard drive on the new PC, then after that it's stable, migrate the old hard drive to the SS disc supplied with the PC.

    First problem was to learn the differences between MBR and GPT.  After this was learning that Home Premium does not work on a PC with two separate processors.  I use Win7 professional for that.  With the help of this forum, I was able to do this by using the Optiplex 990.  I run Win7 Professional on the Optiplex 990.

    I take the former home of hard disk go BIOS to legacy.  Old hard drive that boots on 990, does not start on T5610.

    I try various advanced options, safe mode, low-resolution video, nothing works.  I get a BSOD is a hard drive error, STOP 040000007 B.

    I try Startup Repair tool and get the following:

    Problem event name

    Offline Startup Repair

    1 6.1.7600.16385

    2 6.1.7600.16385

    6 1

    7. bad driver

    6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 OS version

    Locale 1033

    How can I get my old hard drive to work with the new processor.  Is it a question of Dell, a Win7 Office.  As the hard drive starts up successfully on another CPU, I believe that the hard drive is good.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Thanks to you all.  But the solution was completely different.

    Dell said the motherboard on the accuracy was so different from my old PC that unless I reinstalled Win7 Professional from scratch on the old hard drive, motherboard would not work with the old hard drive.

    They have guaranteed that the old hard drive would work on a 8700 XPS.  After some problems, I managed to do the work.  Problem solved.

  • Satellite U200 - cannot get the LAN port to work

    Hello

    I hope someone can help. I reloaded a new version of windows on my laptop, I don't have the recovery disk but downloaded all the drivers from this site. However, I can not the LAN port to work. I tried several times to install the driver but no luck. In the Device Manager, it says device cannot start for the Intel 82559 fast Ethernet LAN on motherboard.

    Can someone please offer some advice? I am a person of correct PC then understand the concepts and can get around the windows.
    Thank you

    Satellite U200 what model do you have? The number of other Sat U200-xxx would be very useful to know which LAN chip was equipped with your laptop.

    But generally, you can find all the drivers on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Check the model number and serial (bottom) and choose the correct LAn driver Toshiba page.

    Notes; Win XP should be updated to the last State. I mean that you need SP2 and the additional fixes to ensure that everything would be fine.

    Good luck

    If it works correctly, then the internal keyboard works bad and must be replaced.

  • Qosmio G50 - 10J: how to replace the optical disc drive (ODD)?

    Hello

    the optical drive of my Qosmio G 50 does not work properly, it reads only some movie-DVD, but unfortunately not videogameDVDs at all, so I can't install any games.
    The guarantee is also outdated. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the disk myself, if it is then how I had to do and if by the laptop would be in
    risk to get damaged?

    I would be very grateful for each tip and all the help guys can give me!

    Best regards

    Hello

    In various cases the ODD replacement is very delicate.

    If you wish, you can consult this forum category.
    Here you will find some videos how to replace the ODD on the different laptop models:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/Forums/Forum.jspa?forumid=115

    This is also a nice Youtube Channel which provides the instructions how to replace the ODD:
    http://www.YouTube.com/user/toshibaeuropesupport

    But the ODD laser lens may be dirty. In my case I could solve similar problem, cleaning the lens of the laser by using a cotton ball and alcohol tip.
    But make sure that this!

  • Satellite A300 - cannot read the second HARD drive

    Greetings from the Spain,

    I got 1 month there is a serious problem with my laptop (which is 5 months old), associated with crcdisk.sys.

    I gave up after several hours studying, and send the computer serving techniques. (Vista was does not load and no recovery was possible)
    Technical services changed 1 hard drive and the motherboard (don't ask me why)
    This computer cams with 2 HD (these 2 devices)

    The first has a recovery partition.
    The problem now is that I see the second HD (D :) but I can't read or access it.)
    However, McAfee, it can scan and I can see the names of files (they were there before sending it to T.Service) during the scan.

    The only solution I have Toshiba is "send it back", but with the previous experience I've had with this guy, maybe now they put a new keyboard and wait another month...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    _Update_

    Now I can read the second disc of Internet expolrer..., i.e. D:\documents... I read a few videos, I got there and seems to work.
    However, I cannot read with ordinary windows Explorer or cannot write files from any program.

    BTW. I can access from the Explorer, but just the files, i.e. d:\documents\letters, but not to the root?

    You have installed the laptop with the recovery disk? Try this!

  • Cannot get the cd/dvd driver for CD playback

    Hiya

    Earlier this year, my laptop has been infected by viruses, malware, etc. I used the program Spyware Doctor to remove any infections, but so many files and programs are removed.

    On the Device Manager CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver TSSTcorp DVD +-RW TS - L632H ATA Device ended up having a typical yellow mark next to it and the cd player would not read cds or dvds. Somehow however his custom 'fixed' itself, but always play all discs.

    Light to the factory side, it opens and closes, and when a cd is put in it sounds as if its going to do something, but after a few seconds only stops and don't open the program or recognize the drive. I read through many responses of forum and things like delete upper and lower filters do not work as they are already not.

    Advice or answers will be very appreciated!

  • TOSHIBA Power Saver software is turn off the optical disc drive, and I'm unable to re - turn on the power.

    Original title:

    Aloha!

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio x 775-3dv78 running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.
    Similar to another old post here, I have an intermittent problem where the Toshiba Power Saver software is off the ODD (a Matshita UJ240EF - BD - RE) and I am unable to turn on the power.  To put the ODD back on, it's a matter of restarting (sometimes several times) until the STRANGE somehow turns on.
    Sometimes, when I do a hot or cold boot, a window opens asking me if I want Toshiba Power Saving technology to turn ON the ODD.
    I click 'Yes', but the drive remains switched off.
    I also try to use function - same key controls... The STRANGE remains turned off.
    Here are the "best":
    As described in the former post office, inside the Windows power settings, there is a slot layout titled "TOSHIBA Power Saver Settings v8.9.9.64".
    In this context, normally there is ONLY a framework for 'cooling method.  BUT only when the ODD is disabled, a second parameter appears to "Optical Drive Power".
    Change that on ONE for battery and plugged in fact NONE no difference... The STRANGE remains OFF!
    Toshiba support is of no help.  Their answer to this problem is to run a 'Mr Fixit' which I discovered just unrecognized devices and then removes the upper and lower filters for the reader.  This "difficulty" might work from time to time... when it does, the ODD is somehow transformed into a 'removable' instead of one device ATA device.
    But then in a few days, the STRANGE turns off again.
    Something different maybe notable, I found after that I continued services and the related process, programs is that the version number on the Toshiba modules show "8.9.6" - not the "8.9.9.64" in the window Power Options.
    And before you ask (LOL!) what's happening on a soft reinstallation of the operating system by the media of recovery Toshiba with all Windows 7 updates applied.
    While I'm waiting for a possible response, I'll do the following:
    Uninstall and reinstall all THE software Toshiba provided duty with the STRANGE (energy saving, combustion, players, etc.)
    I will also shoot material part and make sure that the STRANGE is well inserted in the connector (IDE?) and that the connector is firmly attached to the motherboard.
    IF who does things, I'll update this message and inform you all.
    Otherwise, any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Mahalo!
