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.

Hello!

Windows recognize the drive and the BIOS also?

On the Toshiba site I founded a firmware update for Toshiba or Pioneer drives.
If you have such a reader, download and install the update.

  • 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 A300 - 1 FG psag4e does not read the recovery DVDs

    Hello

    Sorry for my English, I m French.

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 fg and I burn the dvd of recovery before you installed XP.

    And now the first DVD cannot be read correctly and I can't restore my laptop for sale
    (the fan is too loud, media keys do not work with another player WMP... I am not satisfied with this laptop)

    I am looking for the most possible to send me a copy of the DVD please.

    Best regards

    Hello

    Try copying this DVD of recovery on the other computer, and then try to boot from the burned DVD.

    By the way; Media buttons can be use din WinAmp. You should enable the option in the settings of WinAmp. The fan is not strong and cooling parameters can be changed in the settings to save energy.

  • Satellite A30-404: DVD player does not read some DVD

    Hello

    I have a satellite A30-404, and recently, I installed a new firmware update for my TOSHIBA DVD - ROM SD-R6112. (page can be found [here | http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 518 & langua ge = 33 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 28 & selectedLanguage = 33 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 46804 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42])

    Since then, I can't play some DVD I write, for the most part, the 4 GB DVD +, for example, I can perfectly read a 1, 3 GB DVD with 3 multisessions.

    However, other computers can read the DVD I can't.

    Help would be appreciated.

    Maybe the new firmware does contain all of the information on the DVD.
    Do you know what firmware is or what information it contains?

    The firmware of the drive contains simple information about the support that can be used, what burning/reading speed is supported, which average manufacturer is compatible, etc.

    Maybe the new firmware contains other information such as and therefore CD/DVD cannot be played correctly.
    I think in this case, you need to test different CDs/DVDs and try to burn at a different rate.

    My Firefox does not read any video or flash content more. And in watching the news of repair troubleshooting/malfunction in Firefox under graphics, he said that "Direct2D activated" and 'WebGL Renderer' have been blocked because of the version of the graphics driver.

    I downloaded a new version on the Toshiba site, but an update of the driver can not find the new version.
    I had briefly solved the problem by installing the new driver from the file but it is not recognized in Device Manager.

    Automatic update through Windows just tells me that the driver is up-to-date.
    I have the Satellite T130 - 10G.

    Would be great if someone could help.

    Thank you!

    Hmmmm... as you know Toshiba doesn't support third party software so I think that your question has nothing to do with Toshiba directly.

  • Tecra M5: DVD player does not read these mini DVD

    I have canon handycam dvd and mini dvd works on it. A month back I recorded the movie and photos on mini dvd with handycam and ran mini dvd on my tecra M5 player, it worked very well.

    Now after 1 month, I have 5 mini DVD with movies and photos that I took for 1 month of vacation country of diffierent, I tried my best but tecra dvd player does not read these mini dvd, label appears instead dvd player cd player when I put the mini dvd in there.

    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.

  • 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

    See you soon

  • Satellite P25-S520 - DVD player does not work properly

    Difficulty of DVD player or buy the external drive

    My DVD player does not work properly, in fact it can never work properly. Recently, I tried to back up my PC on a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize that the DVD was present. Then I tried to write a text file on a DVD and was a failure. DVD + R and DVD-R media were found to be (Maxwell 16 X).

    I could have probably lived with this however, I received a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my laptop nearby and it was recognized.

    An attempt to update the driver has also fails.

    I was able to copy a CD of music last night so that at least works properly.

    Does anyone know how can I fix? The important part is to be able to load my new program.

    Research on some forums I found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive can't be fixed, I'm not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately, where I live there is no brick and mortar stores selling external drives and I prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can someone suggest an external USB drive that will read and write CD and DVD and is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?

    Thanks for any help,

    Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.

    However, you won't be able to boot from CD (run recovery for example) If you are using an external drive.

    So, your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and request a quote.

    I searched and tried everything what we can imagine and impossible to find a solution. I can also restore because I don't really know this error at startup. Here are the symptoms and fixes I've tried. If there is someone out there who could help me it would be greatly appreciated!

    System:, I have XP w/SP3 installed. Dual-Core 3.0 G w / 3G P5N72T - MB Ram, HD 300 G, Asus CD/DVD Drive.

    Symptoms:

    • I had my CD player connected via PATA ribbon cable and my hard drive connected via a SATA cable.
    • My CD player will not autorun when an installation disc is installed.
    • My CD player will not read or display the contents of the disc when I use the file Explorer.
    • My letter of CD drive is D:\ and always appear as one of the discs.
    • When I use the command "run" and type: D:\install or D:\setup a windows "disk is not formatted" error appears stating "Windows is unable to read the disc. The disk might be corrupted or it could be in a form that is not compatible with windows.
    • My Green CD player will sweep on and I can hear it turn every time I try to explore the files or after I insert a disc, but she never autoruns, or displays content.
    • I decided to buy a new SATA CD drive and installed, unfortunately it does not work either exact problems remain.
    • I have two CD drives to another computer and they both work. So I know this isn't the disc or the lens.
    • I ran the utility Microsoft Fix It and she finds nothing wrong.

    • I removed the device from Device Manager and reinstalled.
    • I ran a virus, spyware, malware, and everything is clean.
    • I have the latest version of the system bios and all settings are fine. Most are on Auto that are associated with the detection.
    • Type of device DMA modes are selected in automatic detection.
    • If I could read a disc that I could try to reinstall windows XP, but it is not an option now until my CD player is fixed!
    • I don't have any installed like Nero buring CD software.
    • I actually installed Nero Light to see if it would read a disc, and of course I can see the disk and copy its content to my hard drive or take an image of the disk.
    • I tried to rename the drive, disconnect the drive.
    • 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.

  • CD player does not read the CD

    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.
