  Hello

  The issue could be linked to the anomaly of the player's laser lens.
  Maybe the lens can not handle the DVD because of a physical constraint.
  In most cases, the lens can not calibrate properly and therefore different media would not work.
  In this case there is not much to do in most of the cases that the drive needs to be replaced.

  But maybe you could try to clean the drive s laser lens using a cleaning professional who could be bought from the other computer dealers.

• Satellite A100 - does not read CD

  Hello!

  My drive doesn't read any CD or does not install any software, but it reads a DVD when played. For the normal software or CD CD he says - 'Insert the CD' and even if reinserted it does not read.

  I tried the support Microsoft-difficulty your CD and DVD player can't read, but it has not fixed the problem.

  Can anyone help?

  Hey Buddy,

  What Microsoft support fix tried exactly?
  Do you mean that? http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

  You can also try to remove the drive from Device Manager and then restart the laptop. After that the drive will be recognized automatically.

  Also try to clean the lens of the CD/DVD drive. Therefore, you can use a microfibre cloth.

• does not read dvd-video

  My Envy 17-1181nr just got Win7, reinstalled by HP.  Now, the player plays BluRay very well but does not read the DVD-video.  The drive makes noise, a video DVD of loading then the video starts and stops a few seconds.  I uninstalled the device and reinstalled with the updated drivers.  Suggestions welcome.  Bill

  Hi Bill,

  My mistake, I forgot that your laptop is a slot player.

  You should find that any store computer will store a disc, which you can load into the reader who will perform the cleanup - the disc itself was fine on brushes that will clean the lens.  The only point I want to emphasize, is to make sure that when you ask one of these discs, make sure what you say it's for portable optical drive as some are not suitable for the drives in the computer.

  Kind regards

• After downgrading from Vista Satellite L30-101 does not read DVD

  Hey,.

  Like many people, I didn't like Vista and so returned to the use of Windows XP.

  In doing so, I lost a lot of things like the ability to watch DVDs and sound, most of these problems fixed so easily by downloading the drivers from this site.

  However, even after the DVD driver download I can't read DVDs yet.
  When you try to play through Windows media player I get say error message that I did not have a MPEG-2 decoder, in the section web site help, it suggests where to get one, but you have to play for each other.
  After having one in the first place, I don't think I should buy a new one.

  If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appretiated if they could let me know.

  Thank you

  PS I have a Satellite L30-101

  I think you have a codec problem, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should install the latest version of Media Player and codec Xvid, DivX and AC3. These are free (google it!). Or you can try alternative software, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, you can try the demo versions.

• DVD player does not read DVD discs, or does it only intermittently.

  You really need this post in the Forum of Driver and Vista Hardware. A moderator will move
  There are.

  ================================================

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

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

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART 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 coward
  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
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  Hi guys,.
  Sorry if this is a re-post, but I couldn't find any information.

  Basically, I went to turn on my computer laptop thisarvo and the led lights up and stays on, the HARD Drive LED lights for a second and the fan starts a second but then the laptop is right there with a white screen and the power light on.

  I managed to get it started once and restored to factory settings. Stop it, went to restart and its still doing the same thing.

  Any help will be much apreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  Hmm... I think it sounds like a hardware malfunction and Windows installation should not affect the start-up of the laptop. Right now equipment is checked and starts and it has nothing to do with the version of Windows installed.

  Here in the forum FAQ/How-to section, I found an interesting announcement and it might be useful for you:
  https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/forumdispla...W-to-documents

  Otherwise you would need professional help from an ASP.  :(

• Pavilion a6220n does not read DVD but CD ok

  I have a Pavilion a6220n running Windows Vista Home Premium, I intend to upgrade to Windows 7.

  But just in time, I noticed that he doesn't read or write DVD, work of the fine conference.

  I'd like to get this fixed first as in order to move to W7, I will have the DVD player works as it should read the file from W7 ISO located on a DVD-R.

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, also deleted down filters, no help.

  I also restored the Factory Default Vista and still it will not read the DVD.

  When I insert the DVD just, it is there and does nothing, when I click on the DVD drive in my computer it ejects the disc saying

  "Please insert a disk in the drive.

  I tried several different discs DVD, DVD - R and DVD - RW, same problem.

  These DVD drives work fine on other computers.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  May be that the DVD drive on your computer has become defective. its not the unheard. Try using an external USB DVD drive to install Windows 7. The DVD inside your system is very easy to replace.

• Satellite A500 does not show 'time remaining' for the battery

  I just bought Satellite A500 with Windows 7 and I noticed one thing, it is that there is no "remaining time" for the battery?

  My former use A100 to display the time remaining on the power but not Windows 7, all I get is a remaining percentage... makes it go for all of the A500 running windows 7 or is - it something wrong with my new computer?

  I guess that the Win 7 drivers should be released in the near future, it seems that Toshiba is driver downloading
  Then maybe after the driver version complete you will get this battery notification allows you to see how it will work
