• Satellite L30: reader will not read CDs or DVDs

  In the evening, I was recently testing on various operating systems on my laptop and eventually decided to return to Windows Pro.
  It was working fine until a couple of days, but then the hard drive started making a rattling noise, like R/RW head stuck.

  Now it will not read CDs or DVDs, can someone please help and tell me if it's a failure of the software or hardware, and the best way to fix it?

  Hello

  The drive problems are not uncommon and may still occur.
  For the most part the purpose of calibration training does not work correctly.
  The objective must be calibrated in the correct position until the player will read or write to the media.
  This fault is not reperable and especially the drive needs to be replaced!

• Combo CDR/DVD SDR2102 drive will not read CDs or DVDs

  Hello

  I have a mobile Ergo Elite 4.
  The hard drive crashed and I bought a new one.
  I have loaded windows XP by using a boot disk but cannot get the Toshiba SDR2102 CDR/DVD combo drive to work. I had to load windows on via USB
  using a USB port.

  I can see the drive in windows Explorer, but it will not read the CD or DVD.
  I looked in the Device Manager, and it came with no warning mark.
  I tried deleteting, re-startup and he's back in the Device Manager.

  I'm trying to find a better driver, but it says that I use the best driver.
  I tried various Web sites using sand everywhere tells me that I do not need a driver for this drive.
  What I do, it seems as if the Combo driver is recognized but it will not be read whatever it is inserted, he said only: insert the disc.

  Does anyone know what I can try? or know where I can get drivers for it or software to test the drive?

  any help would be appreciated. :-(
  Some.

  Hello

  You n t need a special driver for the CD/DVD drive.
  CD/DVD players use the current Microsoft drivers already contained in the Windows operating system.

  In my opinion, you should first test different types of media. Please note that not all CD or DVD s are compatible. Distribute readers can't handle bad quality mediums.

  But we shouldn't t rule out a risk of hardware malfunction.
  Disk failure and you may wish to contact your dealer for a replacement.

• Satellite A40: Drive does not read CD but DVD

  I have a SatA40 (now almost 3 years ago) and cd/dvd unit does not work well, the cd cannot read or write, but the dvd reads all my DVDs.

  Does anyone have an idea why we don't have, and the other does not? (Everyone I mention that he thinks it's strange - thought if does not work the other shouldn't be.)

  Hello

  You sounds of description as the lens of the drive cannot calibrate in the right position.
  Usually before the player will read or write the middle of what the lens must be calibrated.
  In you case the lens can not calibrate and that's why the drive does not recognize the CD.

  Usually in this case, the drive must be replaced.
  But maybe you are a lucky man. Try to clean the lens gently. But be careful

  Hello

  How did you try to boot from the CD drive?
  Have you tried to press the C key immediately after starting the laptop?

  Alternatively, you can press F12. The start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the drive as a boot device.

• Reader superDrive will not read audio CD & DVD of movie most

  Hello

  My SuperDrive eject automatically audio CDs and DVDs (movies) after several hours of spinning and slow down.

  I tried with a data CD (an old CD - RW Archlinux), it goes successfully and appears in the Finder without problem. And I also managed to write to blank DVDs.

  Then recently reset the SMC as explained here: reset of the controller of the steering system (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support , but it has not changed anything.

  Now, I'm looking for any command line, I can put in Terminal that gives me information about what is happening.

  Is BTW, possible to Flash the firmware of the drive SuperDrive?

  Thanks in advance the Apple community

  Optical drives of old iMac aluminum is, generally, the first piece of hardware to fail.

  Reason, essentially, its orientation in the iMac while exposed to heat internal excessive.

  You could try to clean the disc, by the power of your iMac, unplug power, take a credit card, wrapped in a Microfiber cloth to see if you can get one of the dust and dirt on pushing the fabric in and out movement at the same time (wipe off every time you pull out of the slot) until no more dirt won't come off on the canvas. Reconnect your iMac, start your iMac and try the drive again.

  If it failed, plan B is to purchase an external optical drive.

  The external optical drive made Apple only works with recent Macs who no longer have a disc Super bulit.

  If you need an optical drive that works with your year and model Mac, look at these.

  Not all optical drives are Mac compatible.
  Most Mac compatible hard disks you will find only to buy online.
  Here are two on Amazon.com which are inexpensive and compatible Mac

• Re: Satellite A210-12U: Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-8505 will not read discs - error Code 39

  Hello.

  I've had my A210-12U for about five months now, and recently for the past few months I had some problems with the dvd player.

  The thing is that the player will not play all discs, the drive will detect that a disc has been inserted, but it will not read. It happened for about a month but its only recently I really know whats been wrong with it.

  The drive I currently use is a CARPET * A DVD - RAM UJ-8505 ATA

  I scanned the disk for problems with the support toshiba but utility that came with something so I decided to check the drivers.

  Windows Vista gave this Message: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

  I uninstalled the drivers and drivers on there and installed new ones that I downloaded here on the toshiba site.

  What I really want to know is: is this a problem with the drivers? is it a case that the operating system does not detect the hardware? or is this a situation where I should have the disk fixed on its guarantee?

  was soon Dan

  Hello

  Don t worry buddy I put t think that it s a hardware problem. It looks like a corrupted registry entry and it should be solved easily

  Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  and restart the laptop
