Satellite A30 303: no update firmware for drive UJ-811 H100

Hello!

I have model witch toshiba A30-303 have mast * one optical drive UJ-811 H100, I have this laptop for over 2 years and I have strength to find any update on this drive I n even know if this company exists (matsu * a).

I've changed this disc about 5 or 6 times with a new period of warranty due to reading problems.

I'll be happy if someone knows something about the update of this player

GEIA sou Taso,

Matsu * one is the same company that PANASONIC which is more known for us. The UJ-811 is a quite old model (3-4 years) and very well known problems.

You forgot to mention in your post...
(1) exactly, what is not working on your disk (writing? read?) DVD? CD? Movies?) and also
(2) why do you think a firmware would solve your problem. (he has none)
(3) how often and for what purpose do you use your car,.
(4) and finally to what type of physical environment (home? mobile? dusty?) that you are using your laptop.

Be aware, that optical readers get very easily breakable, especially when it is used for watching/rip movies on them or access the drive streaming of games. Another possible reason would be a wrong installation / incompatible software on your PC that can cause the drive not to work properly (or even disappear).

You can try to 'clean up unused software' on your laptop and also to put a soft recovery to check, if your CD drive will be properly again. If the problem will not go away, you need to exchange it for a different brand new maybe even one (it was 5 times that a PANASONIC drive is broken?  ;)). If you are a heavy user of DVD player (movies, tearing, Burning, blah) you should ALSO get yourself a USB external... they hardly ever get broken, are faster and more reliable, and are much less expensive to replace. One of my friends who had already 3 discs replaced in his book could confirm as the best solution.

Kind regards

    Hello

    I'm looking to the original Firmware for my DVD-Rom, as he stopped playing DVD-R after I tried to make the region free drive. I still can't play CD and DVD original but not DVD-R

  • Need to update firmware for drive HDDVD of Satellite P200

    I bought my P200 - 17 c, 3 months ago. I tried to update my Firmware apparent more later (TO35).
    However I can't because I don't have any other installed TO33/TO34. After checking my FW version is TO04! ????

    How can I get previous versions so I can upgrade to the current version. I find it very odd that the current versions do not earlier versions already have with her.

    WHERE CAN I FIND THE FIRMWARE BACK TO THE SATELLITE P200?

    First that you check if you Satellite P200 has been equipped and supplied with the TS-L802A drive because TO35 firmware was designed only for this drive.
    You should know that the P200 series was delivered with different readers and not all support the TS-L802A ;)

  • Satellite A30 - 303 - drivers for Windows 7 that I can use?

    Hello!

    I just installed Windows 7 on my Satellite A30 303
    What drivers and updates download for it? I can't find any information on this topic... also toshiba detector program cannot identify my laptop...

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think it might be a little difficult to get Windows 7 drivers for this good old classic... The point is that Satellite A30 isn't designed for Windows 7, then you the way simplest are using Toshiba recovery disc where all the drivers and tools are already preinstalled.

    I can only find Windows XP drivers on the Toshiba site, so in my opinion, it would be the best choice for this laptop.

  • Satellite A45: need to update firmware on DVR K12D drive

    Hello...
    IM new here... Well, I have a toshiba > Satellite A45 Series... which had a DVD Multi Drive (DVR K12D) inside. The problem is that his operation stopped. Sometimes she would write a CD then sometimes it spoils my CD. I used on the media player were Verbatin, Imation, Supermedium, Sony.

    Well the reader works as a very short period and then dies OFF... every time I took it to the repair center...

    The drive has been changed now 4times by toshiba support. I asked for the release of Firmware from 1.05 to 1.15 or higher. They keep answering back telling me to ask pioneer. But it is an OEM obvious by toshiba.

    The player after having been changed stops working without delay of 2 to 3 months max 4 months time and den customer tried upgrading the drive by putting a higher config recorder multi disc double tht is the 8 GB one. The satellite detects that hardware.

    been 2 years now my readers send me problems such as:

    does not read DVD
    doeant read CD RW
    don't write CD/DVDs
    sometimes DVD detects any sometimes they detect its weird.

    The only solution is to update the firmware, but how can I do? I need the update of the firmware. I called toshiba WE also, they talked for two hours and then answer that I have to contact pioneer!

    Please help me!

    Vik!

    Hello

    CD/DVD players support generally not all means.
    As far as I know in the manual you will find a list of the CDs and DVDs is supported and it works properly.

    In addition, it seems that this device was designed for an American market and in this case, you should look at the Toshiba Site us.

    I checked this American site:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

    There, I found several notebooks A45 and the necessary drivers. I also found a driver for DVD rom and ram. It s not a firmware update but maybe it helps.

    However, on Toshiba Europe site, I found several updates firmware for the readers and the different European books but as I said at the beginning you have a US laptop and have to look on the American website. If you don't get an update of the firmaware if you ask the manufacturing of the car.

    In addition, I want to say that you can not be sure that, after updating the firmware of the player will not work correctly. This kind of malfunction looks like a defect of lens calibration and therefore only a replacement disc can solve this problem.
    If the drive has been replaced several times so I guess that the guarantee is valid and you will get a new.

  • Update the BIOS on Satellite A30 303

    Having a Satellite A30-303.
    With no intern work DVD.
    Have a usb DVD boot.

    I wonder if I can update Bios from Ubuntu. I need execute a .exe.

    Or if I can take a floppy and run the file BACK.

    Hello!

    For the Satellite A30 only one based on windows BIOS update is available.
    I think this will not work on Ubuntu and install Windows to make this update.

    Normally on Windows systems, you need to download the BIOS update, extract the .exe file and start it. That's all.

    Intel pro wireless card works with my satellite A30 303? The signal is strong or more just to buy a USB WiFi adapter?

    Hello

    It could pass the Sat A30-303 with the Wireless LAN PA3212U-1MPC card.
    It is an Intel 2100 Pro minPCI wireless network card that supports the 802. 11b standard.

    But to be honest, I prefer the external solution like WLan USB stick.
    You know that, sometimes, some compatibility problem between the wireless network card and the WLan router might appear. In my opinion it is much easier to test and remove the external USB WLAN as a wireless network card internal minPCI.

    Hope I could help a little.

    Hello, I have a problem with my satellite A30-303.
    I am trying to record CDs and DVDs. A month ago it gives me an error at the end of the recording. The error is 'Power Calibration Error'.
    How can I solve this?

    Thanks for the help.

    Toshiba Satellite A30 303

    Hello

    I read some of the comments in this forum about power calibration error and it seems that usually only the drive replacement will solve the problem.
    One reason might be poor quality media like CD/DVD
    But please check out this site:
    http://forums.Afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/93406

    But if this error occurs with all CD/DVD media, so in my opinion, the drive should be replaced

  • Should I use IDE or a SATA HDD in a Satellite A30 303

    Hi there, I was wondering what HARD drive I can get for my laptop A30-303 because the old is dying today being a machine for 4 years, so I would like to upgrade. Y at - it a maximum size of the machine, or I can put in any size of HARD drive?

    Also the HARD disk doesn't have an IDE or SATA interface?

    Hello

    As far as I remember the Satellite A30-303 PSA30E series came with a 60 GB 4200 RPM HARD drive.
    The laptop supports the Enhanced IDE (ATA-5). This means that you need to use the HARD drive that supports an IDE interface!

    But note; not all HARD drive sizes are supported. There is a BIOS HARD disk size limitation.
    I'm not sure on the compatible HARD disk sizes but in my opinion, you should be able to use 80 GB, 100 GB of maybe too.

    Best regards

Is it possible to boot from this device, or is it an another workaround?

    Hello

    Don t waste time and start don t try from the external USB CD/DVD drive.
    It's just not possible!

    The BIOS does not support a boot from the USB WEIRD. The BIOS supports disk HARD, the ODD, the LAN and USB FDD as devices bootable but not CD/DVD USB drive.

    You have no other choice as to buy a compatible CD player and internal support.

    Of course, you can try to boot from LAN, but it's not very easy and you will need to configure a RIS server.

  • Unable to update firmware for the PERC 5 controller / i on PE1950

    We have 6 PE1950 server with SAS PERC 5 / i integrated RAID controllers. Dell OpenManage complains about being obsolete PERC firmware. 2 servers I currently have running, firmware 5.2.1 - 0062 and 5.1.1 - 0040. I downloaded the latest version of 5.2.2 - 0072. I tried the update by the Windows package and who did not, and he complain about the OS being too recent. A server is Windows Server 2008 R2 and the other Windows Server R2 2012. So, I created a BACK USB key with Dell hard drive files and run update.bat. Who failed on both servers with the following errors:

    Firmware doesn't have flash. Stop!

  • Can satellite A30 - I install a larger HARD drive?

    I thought I had taken care with boards and pieces of kit. but after the reconstruction of my A30 (having the replaced DC Jack), he comes up with the following messages:

    * SMART failure provided on hard disk 0: TOSHIBA MK4018GAS (PM) *.
    * WARNING: Immediately back up your data and replace your hard drive. A failure may be imminent.*
    * Press F1 to continue. *

    I tried winding connector to HARD drive decision-making, which seems OK.

    So start thinking I killed this disk somehow. If Yes, can I install a larger drive, say 80 or even 160 GB and should I look for a magic word MK4018GAS, or is it SATA or IDE, I'm looking.

    Thank you. Robin

    Hello!

    If you delete the old HDD, you can see if an IDE or SATA HDD but the Satellite A30 is equipped with an IDE HDD.

    You can use a larger HARD drive. This should not be a problem, but as far as I know this laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that the disc size limit is 128GB and so you can use a 120 GB HARD drive.
    If you want to learn more about this read the article on Wikipedia or here: http://www.48bitlba.com

    So, you can buy a 120 GB HARD drive or an 80 GB HARD drive as you suggest. I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

    In any case, I think that it s a good idea to exchange the HARD drive. SMART error message appears as if there is something wrong with the HARD drive to back up your data as quickly as possible. ;)
