Satellite A210 CD/DVD drive disappeared

I have laptop Satellite A210-12U (PSAEGE) and the CD/DVD drive has no advert for it.

By ad, I mean its not listed via Start/computer, have only Vista (c), data (E :) listed there. I don't find in Device Manager or the other.

Light on the CD/DVD tray lights up when starting and turns on when I place a DVD in the drawer, but nothing happens.

Any solution?

Hello

To be honest, I don't understand. You are talking about the Cd/Dvd drive missing or Dvd Toshiba player?

Anyway, try this:

1. access to 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}

Reboot the laptop and wait for the CD/DVD drive would appear once again

or

2 go to the page of the Toshiba driver and download dvd player

  • Re: Satellite A100-1VG - DVD drive disappearing

    Hello

    I have problems with the CD/DVD-RW drive on my Satellite A100-1VG. In fact, from time to time he disappears. It will not work to CDs or DVDs and it does not appear on my computer. The only mention of "Hard disks" in bed Device Manager "FUJITSU MHY2120BH ATA Device", which I think is my DVD player.

    I tried downloading new drivers without result. Unfortunately, my warranty expired, so I can't just kick the Toshiba laptop to be fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi all

    ODD is in the BIOS settings and the Device Manager?

    Enter in BIOS, select this check box, set it to default settings, restart Windows.

  • Satellite - DVD drive disappeared

    Installed new software, the other day to 'catch' a video of my VCR - filled my Vista disk so I uninstalled after you put the video on my hard drive. Now my DVD drive does not appear on my computer.

    I tried microsoft automated troubleshooting - it installs the driver for the device and the ram, but it disappears again each time I turn off my pc - and the dvd drive still does not work. I don't know what I'm doing here so if anyone has any simple information how to fix this, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you

    Hi writerchic,

    I put t know what Microsoft troubleshooting you have tried or what it does exactly, but in your case, I would like to delete the server - and lowerfilteres in the registry. Therefore, follow these steps:

    (1) run regedit (start-> Run-> regedit)
    2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart your laptop.

    It work?

  • Satellite P100-188-CD/DVD drive disappear when install iTunes

    I have a P100-188 and when I install itunes (ver 7.7.11 I think) my D drive disappeared.
    If I check in the device manager that there is an error in there against the disc.

    The only way I can get back the player must do a system restore.
    Does anyone know the version of iTunes that I have to install to bypass this or the correct driver for the reader?
    The device has a drive HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N installed.

    Thank you very much

    James

    > "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." The error signature shows that: AppName: itunes.exe Appver:8.0.0.35 Modname: unknown Modver:0.0.0.0 Offset: 00008200.

    I remember one of my friends had a similar question. The error always appears after the new installation of iTunes.
    He called me and I tried different things, I reinstalled the application, clean the OS, etc, but anything :( I was really desperate

    Finally, I decided to reinstall the OS to see if there could be something wrong with the Windows installed. And that was the key of the OS has been confused don t I know why, but after the new OS installation (it was a hard way) worked the iTunes

    If you can first try reinstalling iTunes, then clean the operating system using CCLeaner and then try again.
    If this can't help, then a new install of the OS may be necessary!

    Hello

    You may not use any CD/DVD drive.
    You must use one that is compatible and supported.
    The fact is that you use a reader that contains the wrong master/slave/c-salt settings prevent the player BIOS recognizes.

    Although I know the laptop user manual should contain information on compatible CD/DVD players.
    Otherwise you could try to get in touch with a local ASP and can order the STRANGE compatible to these guys

  • Satellite L100: CD/DVD drive is not recognized in the Bios or workstation

    Satellite L100 - 170 No.PSLA3E model 02501QEN under Win XP.

    The icon of the CD/DVD drive has disappeared from the desktop and is not listed in the Device Manager or showing in the BIOS.
    There is power to the drive and the tray ejects OK
    I tried to use the ease of adding new hardware in the Control Panel, but it does not list a CD player.
    I removed the disc and then re - it sitting, but it made no difference.

    I used the restoration of the system for the last available date 26 January 08, but it does not restore the CD player... and I have none, he worked at that time.
    I don't think it's a faulty drive, because he is picking up power and when you insert a CD, it starts as if she was about to read the disc, but nothing appears on the screen.

    The laptop belongs to a child with autism and all I can get out he is "I don't know" when asked what happened to the laptop.
    Sorry I don't have any other information.

    Can anyone help.

    Thank you

    Well, usually if the CD/DVD drive doesn t appear in the BIOS or BIOS cannot recognize the ODD then chances are that the CD/DVD drive is malfunctioning.

    But the best way to check this is a new installation of the OS. You should try to boot from a bootable XP CD.
    If the laptop would be able to boot from the CD, then the material is ok.

  • Satellite L40 - CD/DVD drive does not end to close after burning

    Hello

    My TOSHIBA SATELLITE L40 works correctly under VISTA HOME PREMIUM. This is the first time that I realize that the CD/DVD driver is unable to complete a session of engraving using NERO8, NERO9, ASHAMPO TSHIBA DISC CREATOR or in Windows mode. The burn starts fine from 0% to 100% where it remains for a long time. Where can be the problem come from? Is the driver broken only for burning?

    It correctly reads all CDs and DVDs once loaded.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think that this problem can be caused by using fully compatible diskettes
    I had many problems with different CD or DVD from different manufacturers.
    I tested several brands and finally I had a good experience with TDK discs Verbatim R my disk manages this disc better than others

    Perhaps, you should also test different drives from different manufacturers.

  • Satellite C660 - 11K DVD drive does not

    I was just become acquainted with my new laptop Satellite C660 - 11K that I bought for Christmas and came to try playing a DVD for the first time tonight.

    The first one I tried was a business produced in format DVD RW DVD. When I inserted in the DVD player, I got a "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem during playback of the file" error message. Following the troubleshooting guide to check my sound, video settings and game controllers do not solve the problem.

    I then tried a purchased movie DVD (DVD-video format) and received the same error message.

    Finally, I have inserted an audio CD purchased and tried to play it through Windows Media Player and iTunes, but could not play all titles. The Gracenote software did, however, identify the CD and track names.

    By Device Manager, I found that my DVD drive is a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633C and that it is enabled, the value of region 2 DVD and it has drivers up to date.

    Am I missing something stupid that prevents me to get my DVD player to work, or do I have a defective DVD player?

    Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hi mate

    Perhaps you need a firmware update for the CD/DVD drive.
    I found this Toshiba document:

    + ODD Firmware Update to fix problems with audio sound distortion on playback of the CD in Windows 7 +.
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0502VV0000R01.htm

    Please check and if necessary, update the firmware!

  • Satellite L755 - CD/DVD drive does not

    I own Satellite L755 and the dvd rom does not work (do not read disks and show on the disks in the computer).

    When I go into the Device Manager in windows it displays error code: 39 which means that the driver is defective.

    It is not the first time its happening.
    It happens after a few months and I need to back up and do the system recovery each time.

    Is there a way to fix this without making the system recovery each time?

    Hello

    Try this workaround:

    Go to Device Manager and remove the CD/DVD drive entry (mark and press DELETE)

    Then start the registry and remove the filters above and below the following key:

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