• Satellite L650 - ODD does not read most of the CD or DVD after BIOS update

  While DVD copy, asked me to do an upgrade of the bios for the included software on my laptop, so I thought that coming from toshibsa, it must be safe. I closed all my apps and let the update occur, restarted my pc and tried to continue to copy my dvd.

  Now my dvd writer does not read most of my CD or DVD, original as well.
  I managed to get hold of my previous Bios version after a battle before the update to see if I can go back to my old version, but the executable file runs a program that says the version is older then the one I use, so it will not load it.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated I have two days to copy 100 DVDs for a customer and I can't do it now,

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L650 running windows 7 64 bit 8 GB memory with a SSD hard drive

  > I can return to my old version, but the executable file runs a program that says the version is older then the one I use, so it will not load it

  I don t think that the BIOS is the problem here, the point is that CD and DVD support details are stored in the firmware of the CD/DVD drive and NOT in the BIOS of the laptop.
  So in my opinion the update of the BIOS is not the reason for your problem.

  I think you should check if cleaning the laser lens allows you to read discs.
  Use a fluid wadding tip and alcohol to gently clean the laser lens.

• Satellite M30: the drive will not read or burn a dvd - rw - Xp SP2

  I have my carpet and M30 * one dvd not read or burn dvd - rw. Tried driver implemented to date, but without operating. Help, please!

  Hi Khalifa,

  Until you can play a DVD - RW on your M30 the DVD must be finalized. In order to record on a blank DVD - RW the drive must be formatted first (using something like Nero INCD). If all goes well, then you should be capable of both wathch and burn DVD - RW discs. :-)

  Kind regards

• Satellite A40: Drive does not read CD but DVD

  I have a SatA40 (now almost 3 years ago) and cd/dvd unit does not work well, the cd cannot read or write, but the dvd reads all my DVDs.

  Does anyone have an idea why we don't have, and the other does not? (Everyone I mention that he thinks it's strange - thought if does not work the other shouldn't be.)

  Hello

  You sounds of description as the lens of the drive cannot calibrate in the right position.
  Usually before the player will read or write the middle of what the lens must be calibrated.
  In you case the lens can not calibrate and that's why the drive does not recognize the CD.

  Usually in this case, the drive must be replaced.
  But maybe you are a lucky man. Try to clean the lens gently. But be careful

• Satellite A100: I am not able to use the keys FN - common module error

  HY,

  I have a toshiba satellite A100 series and I have a problem:
  I'm not able to use the fn functions (for example fn + f9 to turn off the touchpad or fn + f3 to the eve and so on...) and I got an error concerning "common module.

  A dialog box told me that the common module is closed...
  Someone knows this problem?

  I'm sorry for English...

  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t know why this error message and why the common modules stopped working, but to my knowledge, the common modules are needed to run and use the FN keys for example.

  So here is my advice;
  Go to Toshiba's European diver page, choose the common law modules, download, unzip, and reinstall it again!

  After restarting again the FN keys should work again.

  Best regards and good luck

  Thank you in advance for any help you can

  The DVD player may require cleaning with a cheap kit that you can buy at any place that sells computers.  I had good experience with my readers DVD LG, not to mention my LG TV that I love.  One thing you can do when you are trying to burn DVDs would be to reduce the burn speed.  I usually use the software Roxio or Nero to burn DVDs - they have always worked well for me.

  Relative to the backup, use one of these big drives for backup and you get a good 3rd party backup program like the free Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

  http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm .  Better yet, you get an external hard drive.  You can buy these days 1.5 to ones for about $90.

  Good luck.

• Re: CD/DVD drive does not seem to start the DVD in Satellite P750

  My CD/DVD drive does not seem to start DVD, it runs and runs and the only way I can run a DVD (i.e. film) is using Windows Media Center, while the software to install must be enabled in Windows Explorer.

  Anyone?

  Help, please.
  Thank you!

• Carpet * a DVD - RAM in Satellite A100 drive does not work properly

  When I insert any type of disc, the drive lights up, but the system cannot access anything on the disc. I tried all the fixes that were shown in the forums, but nothing works. The message I get is: D: / is not accessible. I/o device error. Oddly enough the only disc it reads without any problems is the recovery disk. Unfortunately, a system recovery didn't solve the problem.

  Hello

  If you're still guaranteed then it would be necessary in your case bring/send your machine to a local toshiba for a hardwarecheckup servicepartner. But even if Don t you out of warranty you should do it because your questions sounds like a hardware failure.

  If you need help finding a service partner so I can give you a link where you can find one that is closest:

• SD-2212 drive does not read some DVD - Satellite 1410

  Hello every1,
  I have the Satellite 1410 604 for more than 2 years, with player combo mentioned above...
  It serves me right, except that it does not read certain types of dvd media, and I use only high quality DVD Verbatim...
  It happens that in the last months. It is not my main computer but it's to use in my house, and it really bothers me when my sister or father takes the new A60 Pro satellite on the road (its battery is better), I can't use last discs on it. So if there is a cause of upgrade, firmware I can't find on this site...

  Thanks in advance...

  Hello

  I don t think that the firmware update will solve this problem because this pilot acknowledged this DVD some time ago.
  In addition, I put t found any firmware of this drive on the Toshiba site.

  But check if the disk by removing the procedure will solve this problem. So why go to Device Manager and remove the disc. After again starting the operating system should recognize the drive again

  Good bye

• Satellite L500-13D-CD/DVD drive does not read CD

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite l500-137 laptop with vista sp2.
  There is a cd writes that my dvd drive would not read, the driver can read other CDs & DVDs well.
  who says cd's seems to be fine as it can become red from the other computer.

  any suggestions?

  * Thanks to *.

  Hello

  That means only one disc can be read from your laptop and all other disks can be read properly? Well, in my opinion, it could be a disc problem, maybe it's striped s and so it can t be read to all readers.

  In your case, I would try to clean the lens of your CD/DVD drive. Therefore, you can use a microfibre cloth.
  Check it!

• CD/DVD drive does not read discs on Equium A100

  My cd/dvd drive does not read any discs be it, white, written or commercially written. It opens and closes and is light to show that he is working on. Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning properly.

  Tried the update of drivers, no update available. Tried restoring the system back 1 day and 1 week and 1 month, then and still the problem cannot be corrected. When I put a cd/dvd in the drive and try to access it, it says: D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

  Can someone help me I tried everything my friends and I can think, or is it better to send just to toshiba warranty.

  If the solution proposed by James will not help, you should try to remove the drive to CD/DVD in Device Manager.
  After phone restart the operating system will recognize and initialize the disk again.
  After this review of the procedure if you can read, write the middle.

• Satellite A100 - ODD can't read Win7 installation CD

  I have a pro satellite and the satellite a100. I bought a disc of microsoft to replace XP with windows 7 on the a100.

  The a100 dvd player will not recognize the drive of w7 but he reads audio and video discs very well.

  The satellite pro recognizes the drive of w7 so I think there may be a problem with the dvd-a100 player or its parameters. Can anyone help please?

  Hello

  There is nothing wrong with the settings because there is no special parameters to read a disc.
  If the optical drive does not read the disc, then the disc or the CD/DVD drive isn't OK.

  As the disc works in relation to another optical disc drive, I suppose that the s drive laser lens can not handle support for Windows 7.

  According to my experience of the issues may appear due to the dirty laser lens.
  I recommend you to clean the laser lens using cotton tip and liquid alcohol.

  In many cases, this work around simply helped to get the drive recognized again.

• Satellite Pro M40X - can not read MMC - SD card more than 1 GB

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro M40X but it read only MMC/SD with a capacity of 1 GB. If I try with 2GB or 4GB nothing appens. What can I do? What drivers I try to upgrade to Windows XP to be able to read cards up to 4 GB?

  thanx

  Hello

  The drive will not read the 4 GB SD card due to hardware limitation!
  CA? s not a software but a hardware problem!

  Even you will update the driver, it will not help get the 4 GB SD card running!
  I recommend to use an external card reader which can be connected to the USB port!

• Satellite 2410-303 will not read the product recovery CD

  My satellite 2410-303 will not read my product recovery CD.
  When I turned off my pc with the drive in, I get messages saying that the disk is not formatted correctly.

  Hello

  It of weird, is your CD the other disc drive? Have you tried to read your cd of restoration with another computer? If the same error occurs on another computer system, then the cd is probably defective.

  Just a question: I guess you want to recover your machine, Don t you?

  See you soon
