Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE - CD/DVD drive problem

Hello friends,

I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE and its configurations are as follows:

1.87 C2D Ghz, 1 GB of Ram (512 + 512), Windows Vista Basic, CD/DVD read/write...

Question: Its been long enough, I m facing some problem with my optical drive. Whenever I insert a CD that is originally made by any company, it works fine. At the time when I insert a CD that is personally burned with any normal CD data / engraver of DVD or CD that have been created previously by the same laptop mentioned above, its been interpreted as a blank disc. The data on the drive are not displayed.

For example: lets say if I insert a cd of the software as my webcam cd or cd of my printer they can be read normally and work very well. But at the point where I have to enter any cd that was burned by me that contains my personal files, it is read as a blank disc.

This problem does not exist with any of the DVDs. that is not serious every dvd I insert either being a software normal dvd or one that is burned as a given personal dvd, everything works fine and all the data DVD can be read.

I tried to reinstall the driver, I tried to reformat my laptop using the supplied with the notebook Toshiba Recovery CD, but the problem persists.

Between a few months ago, I tried to do a few tweak, as firstly I have insert the cd in the drive and then turn off the reader of cd and then allowing it once again would actually read the cd. But after a few tries, it also stopped working.

Now I have really no idea what should I do to get my CD to work normally.

I hope that this message can help out me.

Your help will be appreciated

Thanks for your precious time

Hi Claudia,.

To be honest, I never heard A785 Satellite.
You should check the model number again, as wrote Akuma. It would be important to know.

But in General if you have the same problems after using the Toshiba Recovery disk it seems to be a bad material work because the recovery disc can restore the factory settings.

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA9A) and Vista DVD maker problem

    I just got windows ultimate on my laptop that I got about 2 and a half years and he says about this Windows Vista capable. So I have to drop out and everything but when I open something like Vista DVD maker, he says that my video card meets the minimum requirements.

    Check my driver and it says Standard VGA graphics card? Strange huh? So went on Notebook driver downloads > Satellite > A100 (PSAA9), but then he only gave me the opportunity to PSAA9E and I need A at the end.

    In any case I put t know whether or not that counts, but I downloaded the driver and check the update driver > Browse pilot, first of all it only let me not click Desktop and didn t let me inside the office even with submenu.

    So I just clicked next and guess what! After all that palaver he said the pilot has the last updated and doesn t need to be installed but it obviously hasn't t because it's model is something starting with 6 and the driver Vista I want download it something starting with 7, so I'm really stuck and really help.

    Thank you

    Hello

    At the bottom of the unit, you should find the name of detailed; something like Satellite A100 - xxx PSA.

    Could you please post this number and name?

    The A100 is certainly capable of Vista, but this does not mean that you can use all the features of Vista.
    My other laptop manufacturer is Vista capable, but for example the doesn t run Vista Aero due to the performance of the weak graphics card.

    Creating Windows DVD is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but some features may require advanced or additional hardware.

    Check this box:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/dvdmaker.mspx

    In any case, the graphics driver on the right must be installed to ensure that such feature Vista can run correctly.

    Can anyone suggest me were buy a compatible dvd player?

    I write from the Italy.

    Concerning

    Hey,.

    It is important that you purchase a compatible CD/DVD player because not all readers are compatible with all laptops.

    In your user manual, you will find a list of compatible readers you should check. These discs are pre-tested and will work/adjustment.
    If you're looking for with Google, you will find some online stores where you can buy it I think. An alternative you can also ask a service provider directly, allowed that guys know this drive is compatible:

    You have downloaded a sound-xp-51005345_2. Maybe's it a difference between these two audio drivers.

    Remember that this software has been installed. It s necessary to the operation of sound and graphics.

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE: Installation of Vista Edition Home Premium processor in a box

    Hi guys, I would like to ask you a difficult question for me :)

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit OEM Czech and
    DVD from Toshiba product recovery. I converted (boxed) Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 Eng as a gift
    There are. And now to the point :) - I would like to install this new Vista Home Premium instead of
    Home base OEM.

    1.) am I allowed to install Home Premium without any problem? (I'm worried the WinRE partition)

    2.) if I can't do it because of the WinRE partition, can I save this partition and remove it?

    (3.) if I do, I am able to download all the drivers from Toshiba site driver Toshiba (value
    added package for the most part)?

    4.) I am able to download all the utilities Toshiba?

    5.) if I use the product Recovery DVD in the future (with this Home Basic OEM), it will work if WinRE partition
    is deleted?

    Thank you for your response.

    Hello

    (1) you can install the new Vista easily. When installing new Vista installation program should create a new WinRE partition too. If don t be worried. But I recommend creating a backup of your important files such as mp3, photos, etc...

    (2) you can do the installation should be possible and should go smoothly. But don t forget to include the SATA drivers that are necessary to recognize the HARD drive. On the Toshiba page, you might find the Intel Storage Manager that contains the SATA driver. Include the driver during the installation procedure using the F6 key.

    (3) Yes, Vista drivers should appear on the page of the European driver Toshiba.

    (4) see point 3 ;)

    (5) the product recovery DVD will format the whole HARD drive. It will delete the partitions and all will remove the HARD drive. And it will also create the new WinRE partition. Simply said; the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs will fix the laptop back to factory settings

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE - screen turns off automatically

    Hi friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with windows visa Home Basic edition.
    Now for 15-20 days I am facing a strange problem. The screen of the laptop emits a sometimes (not necessarily every time) and then when the frequency increases the display turns off automatically!
    Then I must Hibernate or he put laptop to sleep to find again the screen... Seriously, I don't understand the problem.

    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Julie,.

    It sounds as if something is harming your graphics driver causing the display to turn off. If the problem occurs only when you use certain applications or only started after installing a new application you may need to restore your system to a restore point before new applications have been installed. As a test, you can try to start your system in safe mode and see if the problem persists.

    I also recommend that you re-install your graphics drivers to see if it improves the problem.

    Other possibilities are that your graphics chip is a failure or overheating causing this problem in which case you have to return your laptop to a Service approved for the additional diagnostic agent.

    My last thought is that you may have a problem with the inverter FL (the component that provides the lighting of your LCD screen). Check, when the screen turns off, if you can still see a residual image on the screen. If yes then the FL inverter is definitely at fault.

    Kind regards

  • Re: Satellite A100-033 PSAANE: Realtek Audio stereo Mix has become 'lost '.

    Following an encouraging response to a question from the forum, I replaced the original 60 G hard drive in my Toshiba Satellite A100-033 PSAANE with a 500 G drive.
    All right, except that I have more "Stereo Mix Realtek High Definition Audio" in the recording tab in the audio in the control panel.
    This means that I can't record any sound at all, if I try to capture sound, for example to help start Video Capture Software from NCH.

    If I replace the original 60G drive, stereo mix Realtek is there and I can record OK. If I plug my external sound card, I can record the sound with it. If (in my new 500G drive), I look in Device Manager in the Control Panel, Realtek High Definition Audio is listed under game controllers & sound video. Thus, it seems that the correct driver is correct. But somehow, it is not recognized under sound in the Control Panel, and it cannot be used by software that requires it.

    It may be a simple problem but it's confusing to me. Can anyone help?

    Thanks for this second info
    It of Nice that you share with others here in the forum!

    Anas talbi

    No, you can't increase the RAM of the graphics card.
    The memory of the graphics card is still controlled by the graphics driver.
    This means that if additional memory would be necessary, while the graphics driver would add a part of the main memory to the memory of the graphics card

    The whole process runs automatically, and you cannot assign anything manually.

    Hello

    You should try to remove the devices that they are marked with a yellow exclamation point. Start Notepad, and then install the latest drivers from the Toshiba site.

    If the virus has destroyed an important system files that it s is no longer possible to install a driver and you need to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Did you create the Toshiba Recovery disk? You can do this with the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop. Maybe you are able to do this at the moment.
    In addition, you reinstall Windows using the recovery of HARD drive option. So go to the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. Some Windows files will be loaded and then you can choose the Toshiba Recovery option and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If you can t create the recovery disk, you must order a new Toshiba directly:
