Satellite A60-772: SD - R6112 DVD - RW is not working properly

Hello

I bought a Satellite A60 772 in September of last year. His Player DVD - RW SD - R6112 worked well upward until March 2005, some time; However, I only used to burn CD - R and CD - RW. Then all about March, I used it maybe twice to burn on DVD - RW using the RecordNow! supplied software.

There is no problem - so - but shortly after the player refuses to detect even the CD - RW and DVD - RW. I can now use only of the CD - R with it (have not checked with DVD-R). Since then, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and even reinstalled once the operating system (e.g. Windows XP Home Edition). I also updated the BIOS about a month ago. Still nothing.

-Someone - had a similar problem? And if you also have an idea how to solve this problem?

Hello

If there is the same situation after the recovery process, I assume that there is some malfunction of the equipment. All that you have done is just. I think the warranty is still valid and the best solution is to contact the Service of your country partner and let check the drive.

Maybe the reader must be exchanged.

  • 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.

  • Satellite L500 - 1CQ PSLS0E - CD/DVD drive does not work - driver problem?

    Hello

    My DVD player does not work.

    There is power to it. The engine turns when I eject and reinsert. Troubleshooting Control Panel for the equipment and devices said it is a driver problem, but cannot fix it. Problem with the driver.

    I reinstalled it from the Toshiba site.
    It records in the right place?
    I am Windows 7 64 bit and chose the right driver for it.

    Should I use the 64-bit?
    I have 3 MB of RAM which was the spec when bought.

    If I wanted to change to 32 bit how you take you without the CD/DVD drive?
    Is there any point in doing this?

    Thank you

    Hello

    To be honest I m a bit confused.
    You are not able to boot from THE disks; Windows disk, disk recovery, disk Linux?

    If it of the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is faulty.
    Why? Because the CD/DVD drive is recognized and controlled by the BIOS when booting from CD or DVD.

    When the Windows operating system has started, the CD/DVD drive must use the Microsoft common driver which is part of the Windows operating system.
    This means that you n t need to install ALL the drivers in order to get the job of CD/DVD.

    If you can boot from any disk, but if the CD/DVD drive is not recognized by MY computer, then I recommend this:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

    Before you remove the upper and lower registry filters, remove the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager and then go into the registry and remove the filters. Restart the unit.

    Good luck

  • Sat 1900 - CD/DVD drive does not work properly. How to solve this?

    Hello :-)

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 1900, bought in 2003. It has a cd/dvd drive called MAST * UJDA720.

    For the last 3-4 months he was not working properly with movie DVDs. whenever a movie starts, it does not work smoothly, but in stop-and-go. First of all, I had everything again and it works fine, but lately, he never runs well and some DVD doesn't work well at all. Excuse me it I do not explain, I don't have the words in English.

    But maybe someone understands me and can help. My DVD player is dirty? Is there something like a standard CD? Or do I have to give the laptop to a repair shop?

    Thank you in advance, I would like to have my DVD player, back to normal - especially as I don't have a TV.

    concerning
    Kimbazulu

    Hello, Kerstin

    If you can watch the DVD on the unit I don't think the drive is defective. I have the same unit and still work well. Stop and go while playing DVDs can be caused due to the high utilization of the processor.

    Please try to start the Task Manager and check all running processes. All unnecessary processes can be stopped and on this way, the CPU will go to a lower level. If the antivir software is installed on your unit checking if this software analyzes the HARD disk and stop it.

    These things together can be responsible for stop and go while playing DVD movies.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P200 accidents + message: graphic card driver does not work properly

    Hello

    hope that this issue has not been covered before, but I've owned a Satellite P200 for 3 years now, and this week, it crashes all the time.

    When it started going down he gave me a few messages in the sense of "your graphics card/driver does not work properly and windows will be arrested to avoid damage.

    It has progressed to the point where now when I turn it on, I have vertical lines running down the screen and the screen flashes on and outside. Within 20 seconds, it restores the BSOD - 'there was a problem and windows will be arrested. Error Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area"then stops.

    I ran a system restore but the problem remains.

    I have a feeling that my graphics card is toast. Is this good? Are there any other options to try? Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Matt

    Hello

    Sounds like the GPU problem.
    But try the graphics card driver update.
    Use the most recent driver for your graphics card.

    In addition, clean the fans of portable computers.
    Dust and debris could prevent the cooling fans to turn with the best speed and this could lead to a higher temperature which would lead to overheating.
    Use a jet of compressed air. I also use it and it helps to get rid of dust and debris.

    If this is not enough, then a problem of graphics chip would be possible.

  • Satellite L670 - after Win 8 upgrade WIFI does not work properly

    Afteer upgrade to Win 8, the WiFi of my Satellite L670-128 has stopped working properly.

    The connection only works some time, usually only a few seconds before the connection is lost.
    After a few seconds or minutes the connection is restored, just soon to be lost again.

    Cannot download large files or even to see larger photos on normal web pages. Is there any Win8 driver for Broadcom coming 802.11n network card, or should I throw one 2.5 year old computer in the trash?

    Buy a usb-wlan card is not an option, as wireless mice is already "permanently" reserving one of the three usb ports and wlan card it would be just to the left...

    To my knowledge this L670 series isn t Win 8 taken in charge and this means that there is no special Win 8 drivers for this device, so I put t think you will find an another Win 8 driver for this WLan card.

    But do you really want to throw this laptop in the trash just because the wifi does not work properly running Win 8?
    The device was working properly under Win 7?

    I would recommend running a few Wlan test.
    For example; Disable wireless encryption on your router and Wifi connectivity with the open network do that just for testing purposes, perhaps you will need to change the type of encryption to test.

    I'm not sure that just a rootcause is update BIOS, is also possible that other software using the same key combination.

    Basically, I installed some bog standard games, they fit very well and while respect it works perfectly fine until I have try to load the game itself, and with one, it brings up the message 'Please eject and re-enter cd-rom.

    Hello

    It will be interesting to know if this happens with all data media you use.

    In my opinion you must first locate the source of this problem. Check if your DVD - RAM drive works correctly using different CD, DVD and DVD - RAM of course. If Yes, in this case it is a problem specific, based on the game CD.

  • SA40-231, sd-r6112 dvd/r does not work

    I bought my sa40-231 some time ago and only recently made account it is supposed to come with a dvd/r. Of course this is partly my fault, but my computer doesn¨t save it as either a dvd burner and little matter what I can not do it burn the dvd. What could be wrong? cd burning works perfectly, but have tried DVD since 3 days and nothing seems to work.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Well, normally you don't need everything in addition to pilots. The drive uses the standard Microsoft drivers that are part of the operating system.
    However, I found on the page of the DVD-Ram driver Toshiba driver and a firmware update for the Satellite A40:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Try to install these applications.

  • Satellite A110-275: movies on DVD - R do not work

    Hi everyone I had a problem.

    A couple of weeks, I installed Vista on my laptop, to find every time that I burned a DVD movie, it would not properly play in my DVD player. So I thought it was a problem of Vista compatibility. So I reinstalled Windows XP to find this film now jumping when burned under Windows XP.

    I was told to change my media, so I still have no chance of jumps always.

    This is were I get confused, I was beginning to think that I have a problem with my DVD - RW, but if I burn to a DVD + RW Games movies fine burning on CD - R for music high etc all play very well it just seem to be my I can not burn to DVD - R. Now, I have been using this media for so long, I forgot how long it was to tell the truth.

    Any help what so ever on this would be appreciated with gratitude that I get desperate I'm even ready to give a little money if they can solve this problem I have a lot of holiday video that I need to get my hard drive.

    Last I know my holidays have been authorized and compressed in DVD format very well because he will play very well on a DVD - RW

    Also my DVD player is fine as I've tried movies in 2 other players

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    > I'm even ready to give a little money if they can solve this problem

    : D I put t want your money it's better that you will be buying a new drive ;)

    Hmm, maybe there is something wrong with the lens of the drive.
    If the lens is unable to correctly calibrate the reader cannot read or write media.

    Try to gently clean the lens maybe it helps.

  • Satellite Pro A200 series - CD/DVD-rw does not work

    I've had the laptop for a few months and it's great but now I try to add documents and music on CD or DVD and it will not write. The machine can play DVD +/-R/RW and CD.

    I have tried both DVD + RW is simply not found and the CD - RW try to write, but then the operation cannot have place towards the end of the process it says it cannot be completed.

    Any advice?
    Drives running on my desktop drives are very good.

    Hi Rebecca

    In most cases, these CD/DVD burning issues are related to mediums is not compatible.
    You should know that not all of the CDs or DVDs of different manufacturers are compatible and supported
    I would recommend so test different CD and DVD.

    What burning software do you use?
    I use the program Nero Burning Rom. It of great and supports many useful features. This software tested the CD/DVD drive and controls and sets the best burning speed.
    Sometimes it s useful to run these tests to ensure the best combustion parameters.

    But you question might be linked to the failure of hardware too.
    Sometimes the reader cannot process a CD or a DVD because the lens can not calibrate correctly. In this case, the disk must be replaced :(

    So finally I recommend that you check the different CD & DVD, and if the problem persists, contact the ASP in your country for a control.

    Bye and good luck

  • Satellite U300: Toshiba DVD player does not work properly

    Hello, yesterday I downloaded a new driver for Toshiba DVD player (only had the laptop a week or two).

    Now when I try to play a DVD it tells me "unable to output the video to an external device. Please change your display device by pressing the Fn + F5 keys after the end of the application"

    Now, I closed the dvd and then did as he said with the Fn + F5 keys, but this seems to get me nowhere. It appears the laptop and the lcd screen icons are highlighted.

    Any suggestions please?

    Hi mate,

    It seems that the pilot has some sort of problems. What you might try is to restore the system to a previous restore point.
    With luck, you could play your DVD´s again with the player from Toshiba, but I suggest you wait for the next update, maybe they will fix this problem.

    You can also use the "VideoLan" drive which is freeware and probably one of the best available players that can play almost all formats. If you want to try the drive, then just go here-> www.videolan.org/

    Otherwise, you can perform a restore, use the Toshiba DVD player and wait until toshiba released a new update that works...

  • Ubuntu Jaunty on Satellite A60 (PSA60E) - Fn keys and brightness do not work

    Hello, I am unable to use the Fn keys on my laptop, probably due to acpi problems (while the initialization of the system tells me "not connected to IO-APIC timer").
    I should update my bios (currently I have ' acpi bios v1.70 ") or what?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I doubt that the update of the BIOS might help, but of course, you could try updating the BIOS.
    On the European driver Toshiba page I found version 1.90
    He placed in the Archive s (product type choose Archive)

    But I think you will need go to windows OS in order to update the BIOS because it s only executable for Windows OS.

    In addition, please note that the FN buttons must Hotkey Utility is a tool of Toshiba but it s only for Windows operating system there are no tools for Linux so I doubt you could get these keys running Linux
