• CD drive won't burn dvd or read burned dvd but will play store bought dvd

  TSSTcorp cd/DVGW-ts-h652m ata device, it's my player to cd for some reason, I can't burn cd/DVDs, but the reader will read these and play them, also it won't read burned DVDs, Noah he reformatted dvd, how can I solve this problem

  Hello

  Have you tried to close all programs and then insert the disc in the drive?

  You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
  Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  CD have a tolerance + - and you have to write on the side outside their tolerance. They can be given
  However, it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

  Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
  http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

  Try this troubleshooting:

  Step 1: Please make all underneath the same if you've done it before as it's often the total of the process which
  solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  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 burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

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

  Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
  Your player registry entries.

  Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
  other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

• Satellite A30 - problem writing to DVD

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba A30 (PSA 33F) satellite some time ago and have just tried to burn on a dvd, but it is not being seen by the dvd-r/rw. So, I get a message that there is no cd in the drive.
  But I can burn CD but not dvd.

  It will play dvd movies, but the play/stop/pause buttons ETC don't work.

  I tried deleting the Device Manager but has not solved the problems.

  Search the Toshiba web site that says I must install the driver ram dvd but who did not.

  Any advice welcome.

  Hi William,.

  Can you confirm that your A30 has a DVD burner? My Satellite A30 came only with a CD burner (a TEAC DW224E) so I had to replace it (with a CARPET * A UJ825) in order to burn DVDs.

• Satellite L350-14F find the router but will not connect

  Hello

  I just bought a new laptop Satellite L350-14F, but I can't seem to connect to my connection wireless broadband.
  My roommate's laptop connects fine.

  The mine finds the network, asks for the WEP key but will not let me.

  I am running Windows Vista SP1.

  Can anyone help?

  Hmm. I recommend you to check the settings of the WLan router.
  If the MAC address filtering enabled and that your WLan MAC address was not included in MAC address filtering, then you would not be able to connect to the router.

  It would also be possible that you try to insert an incorrect encryption key

  Therefore, it would be desirable to disable all the security settings on the router and then try to establish the WiFi connection.
  If this would have functions, then you might reactivate the WLan security settings.

  By the way; Check if an update of the Wlan driver could also sometimes there is some compatibility problems between the Wlan router and Wlan card drivers.

• Satellite A500-141 - the CD/DVD drive will not recognize any disk in the status bar

  I watch the DVD yesterday and he played upward halfway through and almost jerky. Ejected and thought no more of him now, the player will not recognize any disc, be it video or sound. I tried a system restore but still the same thing that it is not read disks. Any help appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi quietly,

  If your CD/DVD drive doesn't work, how do you have a system restore?

  Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager correctly or you see a yellow exclamation mark on it?

  Maybe the lens is dirty and must be cleaned with a Microfiber cloth. Open try CD/DVD and try to clean the lens with a clean Microfiber cloth.
