• Satellite A100-447 - DVD player does not read some discs

  Hello

  I have a 4 month old Satellite 100-447 (PSAAN), came preloaded with Vista Home Premium and a carpet * CD/DVD super-multi UJ-850 s player.

  The DVD player does not work properly. It will recognize a few blank, but never DVD-R DVD and won't recognise any DVD at all serious. He is very good with CD and DVD movie discs. It's just recordable DVD where there is a problem.

  Also when you try to write to a DVD, when he chooses to recognize a TI-error in half way through.

  What can I do?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  You can do the follwowing:

  Go to this website http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp,

  Download the latest update of the firmware for this drive, install it, and then try again.

  Sometimes, the manufacturer must update their readers for the newer recordable media and so I think that it is possible that your drive is simply not up to date.

• Satellite A30 - 404 - the fan does not work

  I have a Satellite A30-404 for a couple of years now, and recently I saw serious problems with my laptop.

  Let me start from the beginning:

  My laptop has been a few months, when he suddenly stopped, I contacted the helpline and they picked up the phone and fixed.
  Again, a few months later, it happens again and I call them, they tell me that the problem is caused by the dust accumulating on the radiator of the laptop.
  I used a vacuum among fans to clean dust.

  When I do that, indeed, there was a lot of dust coming out, so I made this process, I realized a few months and the laptop remained very well.

  A few months ago, when vacunuming the pc again once I heard something breaking and I soon realized that all the components of one of the fan where gone.

  Probably one of them broke and since it had to be rotated at high speed he stopped and beat all the others. So I had 2 broken fans 1. I realized that in the long term that my processer could be destroyed because it did not good cooling. Since then the processer would become very hot and consumes much more energy than normal.

  Now, I also have the problem that whenever I turn on the pc it starts slowly draining battery (its plugged into the power supply). It's like I have a giant battery, the laptop power and eventually it will turn off. I also tried to boot the pc with no battery at all and it works very well for a while, but then it turned off suddenly. I try to turn on the pc and after 1 or 2 seconds it stops again. I don't know if its related to the fact that the processor is damaged boats.

  I talked to a lot of people in order to get the fixed fan but they say it can become very expensive since its hard getting the same fan. And by the way, when I work on the computer with only the battery that it depends on almost an hour

  Any suggestions? Help, please

  EDIT: I turned of the auto in hibernation when the battery is low to see what is happening, the energy of the battery indicates 0%, but the laptop stays on.

  Hello

  Well, you should be cautious if you use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fans. It is risky!
  Extra ball bearings might damage if the fans turn too fast.

  So if you have no experience with these procedures you should t do.
  The person with the experience as a technician workbook must clean the fans and cooling modules.

  I agree with Doomlord, and it seems that you need a new cooling module.

• Satellite A300-1MC - CD player does not read any disk

  I have a brand new A300-1MC, old so probably not a malfunction already 5 days only!

  Yesterday I have it configured my printer and camera, no problem at all when playing the discs. However, tonight the CD player is not just reads any disc, have tried everything from a DVD on a music CD.

  I'm not too hot with the computer stuff but hoping that someone out there will be able to help and hoping it's something really simple! Did a scan for virus, just in case, but nothing appeared.
  A big thank you in advance, Carol.

  All the other standard size DVD, CD works good about it. Its complex and as well as irritating.

  Any suggestions?
  Why his messedup?

  Seems that the lens cannot read this miniDVD s. Maybe cannot calibrate the lens of the drive and the miniDVD is so illegible.
  Try the sascha. Maybe you are a lucky man, and it works.
  If this is not the case, try to remove the drive physically from the laptop. Restart the laptop without the drive. The BIOS and Windows shouldn't t recognizes the drive.
  Then stops again, put the drive in the notebook and the startup of the device.
  The laptop should recognize the drive and must indicate the firmware again.

  I don't know if this will help but it s attemptable m

• CD player does not read the series Satellite A recovery CD

  Hello

  I have a laptop my father gave to me and I need to restore it before using it for me because it works very slowly.
  I have the restore cd but I have problems with the cd player.
  It does not read some CDs, but it will not read the cd recovery so its as if it is not there.

  Is it possible to restore it without the cd? I'm not very super-friendly up with computers, so please simplify if possible.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Claire.

  You can try to boot from the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
  Check if this CD is readable.

  Then you can download the drivers from Toshiba from the European driver Toshiba page and could install the drivers

  A few words about the CD drive problem, it seems that the goal of readers can calibrate in the right position and therefore some CD or DVD is not readable
  In most cases, the CD/DVD drive should be replaced to solve these problems

• DVD player does not recognize some media on Satellite A30-514

  I own a laptop Satellite A30-514 with Microsoft xp OS. For some time, some DVD (no games) will not play of the drive. some other not. It is not a problem of region - they are all region 2. Windows does not read the disc when inserted and does not record a disc in the drive when I show 'my computer '. CD is the game normally. This could be a (internal) driver problem or my CD DVD combo is all just too old now?

  Thank you, Mary.

  Hello

  To give you a precise answer, it will be interesting to know what DVD is not readable. Meaning of the word "media" is in general and not helpful to understand the problem.

  Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, and it is possible that the WEIRD feature is not good more. You can try to clean the lens.

• 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

  • I'm sure I tried other things, but can't remember right now!

  Thanks for your help in advance!

  Hi msavage2000,

  It seems you have tried most of the steps to solve this problem. However, we would like to know if the drive does recognize the drive?

  As we know readers work, I would like you to try a new PATA/IDE cable and check the result.

  Original title: Windows Installer 4.5 on a computer laptop gateway running windows7

  I tried several things with windows install 4.5. I even tried sfc/scannow, and who came back under the name of no violation. The only thing I have not tried is the clean utility windows, that will help? Who's going to make me lose all my photos and music and information stored in the school's computer? The reason why I am trying to solve this problem is because the Player reads any of my software cd HP, Polaroid and Microsoft2010?  someone please advise

  Hi fredibar,

  1 are. What utilities you referring?
  2. what exactly is the problem with Windows install?

  As the CD/DVD drive does not read the CD, we need troubleshoot CD player. We do not think that Windows Installer is related to the CD player.

  To fix the CD/DVD read the issue, try the following steps:
  a. see your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media
  b. click Run Now button and run the tool successfully.
  c. restart the computer and check if the CD is read by the CD/DVD drive.

  Hello

  Seems that certain this kind of DVD is not fully compatible with this CD/DVD player
  Sorry, but these issues are not uncommon that you will always encounter discs which are not totally compatible and that the readers of the laser lens is unable to handle this drive

  But just a question; These films are created for the European region?
  I mean there are different regions DVD

  As far as I know the films for European needs region 2
  The United States have need of region 1 and South American setting & Middle need area 4

  So if you want to watch DVD designed for US then you need to change the region to 1 settings.

  But note; You can change the region settings only 4 times then this parameters could be blocked, it is not possible to change it again
