Satellite A20-S103: can't burn CDs

I use satellite A20-S103.
my laptop won't burn CD more!
This laptop uses a combo CDRw-DVD-ROM
It reads, but he's not burn CDs?
I looked in the tools and utilities cdrom. I saw a driver called DVDRAM. also I searched toshiba.com drivers latest. She also wrote driver DVDRAM here.

What is the true driver?
What can I do to fix this?

Hello

As far as I know, DVD player is automatically recognized by the operating system and you n t need to install any driver. Driver DVD-RAM is something else and it is not only the driver but the little tool too and must be installed if the unit has DVD - RAM drive.

If you can't burn CD the only thing you can do is to do some tests.
Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. The reader will be recognized and installed automatically
Check if you have any success with the media from different manufacturers
Try to clean the lens

If this does not help, I guess that your drive should be replaced.

Good luck!

  • Updated satellite A20-S103 - CPU and RAM

    I have toshiba satellite a20-s103 and I want to spend the cpu and ram.

    I need more to upgrade the processor that the RAM, the socket is socket p, please if you find any compatible cpu or ram from e - bay or if you find elsewhere, new cpu, or second hand in a good situation, please report it!

    and please tell me if intel core 2 duo or quad is compatible
    If you find the intel core 2 quad or compatible with that laptop duo, please report!

    Thank you very much!!!

    Guess what buddy.
    Forget the CPU upgrade!

    It is a very old notebook support old chipset.
    I'm quite sure that the chipset would not support Intel Core CPU m.

    In addition, the memory can be improved up to 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512 MB)
    More is not possible.

    In my opinion, if you need more performance, buy a laptop (maybe good work 2nd unit) supporting the newer parts.

  • Satellite A20-S103: LAN cable disconnected

    Hello

    I can not access my LAN or internet.
    I use a Satellite A20-S103 with a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC

    When I connect the Lan cable to the LAN port, the message "LAN Cable" disconnected.
    The same message is displayed using connectivity doctor ConfigFree.

    I have changed several cables, used cables that worked on other computers and the message still there and no access to the router/modem.

    Near the LAN port LEDs are not lightning (or orange or green, no)

    I already read messages here in the forum (and other forums) and I can't get the ethernet card works.

    Do you think the problem is with the card or the operating system.

    Can you help me?
    Sorry for my English

    First, check to see if the network card has been recognized in the Device Manager.
    Under network adapters, you should see the LAN card.

    If there is a yellow exclamation point near network card then the driver has not been installed correctly or there is another serious error.

    In the first case I recommend the withdrawal of the LAN card from the Device Manager and after new reboot, you should try to reinstall the driver downloaded from the Toshiba page!

    In addition, you must set TCP/IP parameters automatically because the router assigns the IP address automatically.

    Please check and report the results

    Good luck

    > I need a flash BIOS for laptop Toshiba Satellite A20-S103. I have already downloaded on the download site. But this one I can't use because I need windows must be installed.

    You will get no other update BIOS (traditional BIOS). Only the victory of BIOS-based are available on the Toshiba page!

    In addition, you should be able to install windows even the BIOS is not fully ACPI-compatible.

    What Windows you are trying to install?

  • Lost my recovery of my Satellite A20-S103 disk

    Hi all! I lost my recovery of my Satellite A20-S103 disk. Anyone could copy it for me? Or, there is somewhere I can get it? Thank you! Be well!

    > Could someone copy it for me?

    Toshiba Forum is not an emporium of recovery disks!
    I guess that a recovery could be ordered from the ASP.

    If this laptop is too old then it will not be possible to get the collection of the ASP.
    In this case, you need to install the XP from your own disc, and then the pilots could be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  • Satellite a20 s103 wifi problem

    Hello!
    I inserted a card MSI mp54g2 mini pci wifi in my computer Toshiba Satellite a20 s103 and it does not work properly. The signal level is very low, although I tested it in the same room where was my AP (dlink dl-624 +). I found that there are 2 cables inside the computer (Brown and white) and two locations on the wifi card (in the hand). I don't know how I connect them, yet I tried all possible combinations and none of them does not change the signal level. Also, I found that even though the antena is not connected, the signal level is the same.
    Can someone help me with this one? !!
    Please help me!
    THX :)

    HI TEC

    Connect cable o white HANDS and black to THE and try again.

  • HP 15 Notebook PC: iTunes error 4450 - can't burn CDs

    I bought this laptop 2 months ago. It has all the latest updates installed. I bought the laptop computer mainly to house all my files itunes, images and videos. I managed to transfer all the data to the laptop, but my first attempt to burn a CD from itunes, I got an "unknown error 4450.  I then tried burning the files manually on a drive using the Cyberlink burning software which is installed on the laptop and it also did not work.  It starts as it will burn the disc, runs for 30 seconds and then stops and opens drive poster "Audio CD - #0xEB020BED - an unknown error has been found.

    Because I could not manually burn a cd, I suppose that the problem is in the laptop and is not iTunes.  It seems that something is wrong, but I don't know how to solve this problem.  Because the laptop is new, a system restore probably will not solve anything, especially if it's a failure of construction plant.  If I can't burn CDs on this unit, he was buying at all.

    Please notify.

    For those seeking the resolution of a similar error, it was a setting in the default programs in the laptop. The WIndows Disk Image burner is by default to read mp4 files. Once I changed that, it works great now in iTunes and Power2Go.

  • Satellite L655-12 q - CD/DVD-rom can't burn CDs

    Hello

    I use a Satellite L655-12 q, model number short PSK1EE.
    It has a tsstcorp CD/DVGW, type ts-L633c. My rom reads and burns DVDs fine, but can not read or burn CDs, especially when the size of the files involved is small.

    Can someone please help?
    Thnx.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what is wrong, but if there is problem with playback too, it may be a malfunction of the equipment. Perhaps more calibration doesn t the goal and objective cannot be placed in the right position to read/write CD.

    Warranty is still valid?

  • Can't burn CDs with Windows Media Player

    Hello

    I have problems with CD burning on my computer satellite phone. Had the laptop for a few months and have had no problems. However only found an extra software with the DVD drivers CD so downloaded it - big mistake!

    I had to restore in settings a few weeks that I could not delete the programs. That s all is well now, but since I was unable to burn CDs in Windows Media Player. I click on "burn" and nothing happens, and the right side says CD has nothing on the subject (it s a blank CD).
    All tried and checked my settings, etc, can't think of what it could be.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I would be grateful for any help.
    Thank you
