Satellite A110-179 CD/DVD does NOT READ

I have a Satellite A110-179 and you have a problem with my CD/DVD Multi writer.
The DVD drive light is constantly orange. It won't read any CD I already updated the BIOS.

That's happened?

Hi Luis

This can really be a problem with the hardware of the CD/DVD drive
Maybe the ODD died and only replacement players will help you.

But as Akuma already said, you must contact the ASP for and check.
Guys should be able to provide clarification, perhaps there is a little chance for fixing without replacement.

Good luck

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  • CD DVD does not read by the reader of cd/dvd from my PC

    guys, my PC does not read DVD discs for a while now... tried troubleshooting several times but I keep getting a message that "the DVD/CD drive works properly".. .He video plays audio CDs and CD fine, it's just the DVD; It stops after spinning for like 2 seconds... that's Samsung R580... would appreciate any help I can get a pls.

    Among the failures most common is the DVD/CD drive.

    If yours is a laptop, the problem is the availability and price.  It is an article of OEM available only from your PC manufacturer.  Cost is probably about $100, but generally quite easy to install.

    If yours is a desktop computer, the problem is easy to solve and low cost.  About $20.  Remove all power, press and hold the power switch IT for at least 7 seconds.  Set on the side with the threads on the bottom. Take off the side.  You may need to remove the front as well.  The DVD player is held in place usually by 2 screws easily accessible.  You must remove the 2 cables from the back.  Remove the old one.  Drag another in its place.  Fix the two wires, they only fit one way.  Equip the 2 screws.  Replace the side and front on.

    There is a simple alternative.  It is a portable DVD player that connects to the computer via a USB cable.  Some receive their power of this cable.  He turns around $25 and is completely transferable from one computer to the other.  Also small and light.

  • Satellite L870-14 x - CD/DVD does not read CD

    I bought this Toshiba Satellite L870-14 portable x on 12 October and he's really starting to annoy me now.

    I lost hours and hours trying to install my own content of the previous laptop. I have endless questions, trying to get the product key for MS Office 2010 to be accepted, and NOW I can't get the CD/DVD device to read any CD, including a CD for office 2007 as a stopgap.

    Does anyone have the same problems as me or I just bought a laptop from Trash.

    My heart is broken!
    Thank you.

    Hello

    Start from the beginning...
    Turn on the device, press F8 and choose fix my computer.
    Then choose HARD drive recovery.

    This procedure would fix the laptop back to factory settings.
    It is important because in this case, you might check if material of your laptop is affected or is malfunctioning...
    After the recovery procedure, everything should work properly.

    The CD/DVD drive should work fine, but in some very rare cases not all disks of all manufacturers of disc would be compatible... its always possible that some brands would not be handled properly.

  • CD/DVD does not read discs on Pavilion G6 2293SA laptop computer running Windows 8 :(

    Hey there

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this.

    I bought the G6 Pavilion in November last year. When I got home I went to a recognize (as recommended) recovery disks but the laptop there is a blank disc in the drive. I tried a couple of different brands, but nothing worked and I got to the PC world. They couldn't work out what the problem was if gave me a replacement, and exactly the same thing happened. They claimed that it was probably one of the "many problems with window 8'. Finally, I tried some Sony DVD - R discs and it worked (hooray!).

    However, since that time the player rarely works properly. It seems to work ok program disks, but don't like them burn all discs. It has never worked through iTunes, for a few days, it let me burn some discs of music with Cyberlink Power2Go but it no longer works.

    Sometimes when I go hard disk it will say there is no disk in it (when it exists) or is it in use? We'll see what he does today... OK, Virgin (Sony CD - RW) drive... the hard disk is whirring... but nothing happens on the screen. OK, navigate to my computer... Double-click the icon and it says: "How do you use this disk" and gives me two options: "as a USB' or 'player with a CD/DVD '. However, it only allows me to choose the first option (which I don't) and even if I click ok on the flash drive option, it says that the drive must be formatted, mess around trying to do for about 10 minutes and then says format failed.

    Can anyone suggest anything? PC World that it is a software problem and my problem (thank you guys). Really grateful for any help.

    See you soon

    Paul

    I suggest using the corresponding update firmware in the driver download section.  Who looks more like a problem of hardware/firmware for me. Use Device Manager to select the firmware update software good optical disc. If the firmware update does not resolve the problem, thencontact HPfor warranty repair.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - CD/DVD does not appear on my computer

    Hello! This is probably a silly question / easy but I am very new in this and... my CD/DVD unit does not work.
    It does not show on 'my computer' and when I insert a disc, nothing happens (with the exception of a humming noise but then nothing)...

    Please can someone help me?
    As the helpline does not respond on Saturday...

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Try this;
    Go to the Device Manager and remove the drive from the Device Manager list CD/DVD.
    Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  • Satellite x 200-25 h does not read the recovery disk

    Hello

    I bought my laptop less than a year ago and I wanted to format.
    I tried to use the product recovery disc, but it seems that it will not read.
    My laptop reads all CDs, but the recovery one.

    I put the cd in the machine, stop, turn and press F12. It shows me 2 hard drives and cd/dvd option and one I don't remember, I think it's LAN. I choose the CD/DVD option and taking me in a black screen and after 1 minute, Windows load...

    I already tried the other options, but nothing happened, the first option (1 hard drives) takes me to windows. The other takes me to a black screen, then windows.

    When I use the cd of the laptop makes a horrible noise...

    ANOTHER problem I have is that I have just 1 CD, I've never had a recovery CD 2 or more... I don't know that I have not lost given them that I never touched this thing...

    Please HELPPPP

    Hello

    Maybe the drive is not able to manage the recovery due some scratches or something like that disc
    Who knows why the CD/DVD drive cannot read, it seems to be the problem with the drive

    You could try to copy (burn) this DVD using another computer and then could attempt to use the recovery disc copied in order to verify if the drive would deal with the new drive

  • Satellite A110-178: Audio output does not pass the low frequenties

    Hello world

    I just bought a satellite A110-178. However, the audio output of the socket minijack isn't what it should be. Frequencies of less than 200 Hz seem to be switched off. Perhaps the sound card the filter to protect the tiny Laptop speakers, but this is not normal.
    I checked all settings of windows, virtual sound is set to off, and I have reinstalled audio drivers realtek, but still no bass.

    Can someone help me please...

    Hi guys

    Have you heard something called Virtual Sound Toshiba tools?
    I think that it s preinstalled on the A110. On my laptop, this request has been pre-installed, and there are different options that might help clear this issue.

    I put t know exactly what that problem because nobody has described the problem detailed, but you should check the options in open detail settings.
    There, click on the Option button and you will get the new window with the option enable called the audio filter when the audio sample rate is less than 44 kHz

    This you should all play a bit with this good luck tool
