Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive

I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.

Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.

Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.

I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
I need to download the drivers to operate?
It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?

I'd appreciate any help. THX

The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settings

As you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.

You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.

Usually the ASP in your country could help you buy this disc of these guys here
However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.
My user manual provides this information.

  • Satellite A100 does not recognize the adapter

    Hey guys,.

    I looked around this forum and others have not found something that's quite like that. Basically, laptop of my wife (toshiba a100) was working fine and then one day it stops suddenly while recognizing that the power adapter is plugged. The ac adapter light ignition stopped and it will stop charging the battery.

    I did not notice that he was not in charge until it was basically empty, so now that the battery is dead and the laptop cannot say certainly not that the power adapter is plugged. I thought the itsellf adapter screwed up, but I tested it with a voltmeter, and it seems to work very well.

    Basically, I just want to know if you have tips or tricks to make it work. I guess I'll have to take in for repair, but I wonder what is the real problem, and if it will involve the replacement of the motherboard or something like that?

    Thanks for any advice or info, you can give!

    -Matt

    What happens if you remove the battery and try to power the laptop connected ONLY to adapter? Is this possible?

    Otherwise there are two possibilities;
    The power adapter is faulty or there is something wrong on the motherboard
    In both cases, the defective parts must be replaced

    I think in this case that only a technician of the laptop might know what's exactly wrong with your machine

  • Satellite A135 does not recognize the new drive to CD/DVD UJ - 850

    I replace my dvd Panasonic UJ-850 drive, and I can't seem to recognize. Is there some soldering or settings I have to do.
    If I update to UJ-870, I should do the same thing?

    I'd rather you to find an authorized partner and let them do that because if you install some different readers then previously installed, you'll get big problems.

    The big problem is:

    Readers are funniest differently, so a drive that was installed by toshiba is flashed as master for the second channel, but a replacement drive is flashed to be a slave in the second inning.

    I Don t know how your skills are good, but so you´re now in doubt after obtaining this info then the next techno or ASP and let them do these things like repair/replacement/whatever

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  • Satellite M50-A-110 does not recognize the new SSD?

    Hello

    I bought the M50-A-110 model and tried to replace the HARD drive by a Pro 840 Samsung SSD. The laptop does not recognize the SSD drive, so I sent him to the local Toshiba service for inspection.

    They discovered that the laptop does not recognize ALL of the latest SSD (they tried to Samsun, Intel, Crucial, Kingston and SSD Seagate). They checked, and I possible newer BIOS, so this isn't a problem, and the SSD worked fine on other computers.

    Someone knows how to solve this mess?
    Toshiba has a BIOS beta I could try?
    Any other ideas would be welcome.

    As a user of long date Toshiba, I must say that I am a little disappointed. I mean I work in it, and this is the first time that something like this happened to me with a new product.

    Hello

    I can't believe that Satellite M50 - A can not handle any of the mentioned SSDS.

    I upgraded my Toshiba laptop with SSD Pro 840. But before I did, the update of the firmware of SSD was necessary. Before the firmware update, the SSD has failed, after the firmware update, BIOS can handle the SSD.

    I would recommend to check the SSD for the firmware update!

  • C4385 does not recognize the new router

    Just changed internet service providers.  Although I used this vendor before and not had any problems with my printer, I now have a problem.  My C4385 will not recognize the new network.  Hp network connection software that I run has no effect.   It will not detect a network even if my computer shows an excellent connection to the network.

    When I run the wireless network test report it shows "FAIL" next to "Network Name (SSID) Found."  The recommendation is to "check that your HP printer (SSID) name exactly matches your name (SSID) wireless router.

    I am completely baffled by the present.  I've seen other questions that are similar to this, but none that refer to my model exactly.  Any help is appreciated.

    Please, try the following:

    1. disconnect the USB cable from your printer

    2. make sure to delete any previous copies of your HP printer from the printers (in Control Panel) screen

    3. restart your PC

    4. under the printers screen, enter the following print server properties screen:

    XP: File > print server properties

    Vista: right click on the area of the screen information, and then select run as administrator > print server properties (law as Administrator option will not allway appear)

    Win7: Select any other printer in a left click and you will see the properties of the print server to the Menu bar top

    On the Ports tab, be sure to remove any existing TCP/IP port.

    5. remove temporarily disable your firewall software

    6. start the installation and select reconfigure the network connection / add a device.

  • Cannot use my printer Officejet 4635 to the Mexico. Printer does not recognize the new cartridge.

    I moved my printer in Mexico City, HP Officejet 4635. It uses #61 cartridges. I was told that the 61 in the United States is the same as the #122 to the Mexico. However, the printer say it does not recognize the cartridge.

    Can someone give me some advice?

    Hi artist1234,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    Why the printer does not is because the unit is not regionalized for this part of the country.

    To get the printer to work, you will need to contact HP Total Care so that a representative from HP can regionalize the printer for you.

    If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836.  Seeing that you are in Mexico, please click here to access the information page you need.

    Thanks for your time.

    See you soon,.

  • Equium A100 does not recognize the charger

    I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem as me. I plugged my laptop Equium A100 to load and it basically does not recognize that it has, a charger, it worked perfectly fine the other day and my computer still works fine.

    Does anyone know if this could be caused by the shipper or the laptop? If it is just the charger I have to go buy another.
    Any response would be appreciated.

    The best thing you can do is to contact the service. They should check it.

    I've updated the drivers etc, but nothing... I tried the printer on the computer upstairs and he recognized no problem.

    I guess this new printer is designed to run on Vista or Win7, so it will be interesting to know what operating system is installed on your Satellite A100 and you have good drivers (if necessary) you got with your printer.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100 does not recognize the new router

    I saw this question for other printers, so I hope that there is a response to mine.  I just upgraded the speed of my internet service which involved a new router.  We made sure all the computers in the House worked with her, but I forgot to try the printer before the technician left.  Now my computer thinks printer Officejet Pro 8100 is offline (turned off) and the blue light on the printer blinks.  How can I get the printer to recognize the new router?  I guess I have to add that I do not know where to find the code of the intellectual property that is asked for when I go to the start menu, the HP folder, select my printer, etc.  He said: push the button on my printer wireless, so I push button blue flashing light but that does not produce a number.  Help appreciated!    It's an ATT router and I have the WiFi network name and wireless password.
