• Satellite A30-404: DVD player does not read some DVD

  Hello

  I have a satellite A30-404, and recently, I installed a new firmware update for my TOSHIBA DVD - ROM SD-R6112. (page can be found [here | http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 518 & langua ge = 33 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 28 & selectedLanguage = 33 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 46804 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42])

  Since then, I can't play some DVD I write, for the most part, the 4 GB DVD +, for example, I can perfectly read a 1, 3 GB DVD with 3 multisessions.

  However, other computers can read the DVD I can't.

  Help would be appreciated.

  Maybe the new firmware does contain all of the information on the DVD.
  Do you know what firmware is or what information it contains?

  The firmware of the drive contains simple information about the support that can be used, what burning/reading speed is supported, which average manufacturer is compatible, etc.

  Maybe the new firmware contains other information such as and therefore CD/DVD cannot be played correctly.
  I think in this case, you need to test different CDs/DVDs and try to burn at a different rate.

• Satellite P855: CD/DVD drive does not read 3 "Disc Camcorder

  I have a new Toshiba Satellite P855 model but can not get the CD drive integrated read/recognize 3 "discs of my Sony's Handycam camcorder.

  My previous laptop Aspire straight bed (as did older laptops) and currently have to use the Acer to import video footage on a hard drive.

  If I connect directly the Sony camcorder to laptop Toshiba (via USB) it won't always recognize the drive if I put it back in there.

  The Toshiba uses the W8 while software on Acer and other models previous I was using Windows7, but I do not see how it would make a difference.

  Can someone tell me if it is possible to get my Toshiba to read the discs of my camcorder?

  My apologies if this topic has been previously covered - this is my 1st post on this Forum in question and I did a search on the topic before making this post, but nothing came.

  Concerning
  Terry

  * PS.*, When I put a disc 3 "in the drive, he keeps trying to read (in the sound I hear) but quit eventually.

  * PS2: * can I have solved the problem - sometimes you just can't see the forest for the trees.
  It appears on the Toshiba (under Windows 8), the disc must be finalized before we can read - while on the other laptops (under Windows7), is not.

• Tecra M5: DVD player does not read these mini DVD

  I have canon handycam dvd and mini dvd works on it. A month back I recorded the movie and photos on mini dvd with handycam and ran mini dvd on my tecra M5 player, it worked very well.

  Now after 1 month, I have 5 mini DVD with movies and photos that I took for 1 month of vacation country of diffierent, I tried my best but tecra dvd player does not read these mini dvd, label appears instead dvd player cd player when I put the mini dvd in there.

  All the other standard size DVD, CD works good about it. Its complex and as well as irritating.

  Any suggestions?
  Why his messedup?

  Seems that the lens cannot read this miniDVD s. Maybe cannot calibrate the lens of the drive and the miniDVD is so illegible.
  Try the sascha. Maybe you are a lucky man, and it works.
  If this is not the case, try to remove the drive physically from the laptop. Restart the laptop without the drive. The BIOS and Windows shouldn't t recognizes the drive.
  Then stops again, put the drive in the notebook and the startup of the device.
  The laptop should recognize the drive and must indicate the firmware again.

  I don't know if this will help but it s attemptable m

• Satellite P25-S520 - DVD player does not work properly

  Difficulty of DVD player or buy the external drive

  My DVD player does not work properly, in fact it can never work properly. Recently, I tried to back up my PC on a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize that the DVD was present. Then I tried to write a text file on a DVD and was a failure. DVD + R and DVD-R media were found to be (Maxwell 16 X).

  I could have probably lived with this however, I received a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my laptop nearby and it was recognized.

  An attempt to update the driver has also fails.

  I was able to copy a CD of music last night so that at least works properly.

  Does anyone know how can I fix? The important part is to be able to load my new program.

  Research on some forums I found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive can't be fixed, I'm not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately, where I live there is no brick and mortar stores selling external drives and I prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can someone suggest an external USB drive that will read and write CD and DVD and is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?

  Thanks for any help,

  Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.

  However, you won't be able to boot from CD (run recovery for example) If you are using an external drive.

  So, your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and request a quote.

• DVD player does not recognize some media on Satellite A30-514

  I own a laptop Satellite A30-514 with Microsoft xp OS. For some time, some DVD (no games) will not play of the drive. some other not. It is not a problem of region - they are all region 2. Windows does not read the disc when inserted and does not record a disc in the drive when I show 'my computer '. CD is the game normally. This could be a (internal) driver problem or my CD DVD combo is all just too old now?

  Thank you, Mary.

  Hello

  To give you a precise answer, it will be interesting to know what DVD is not readable. Meaning of the word "media" is in general and not helpful to understand the problem.

  Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, and it is possible that the WEIRD feature is not good more. You can try to clean the lens.

  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

  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 :(
