Satellite A60: Can play self-created DVDs

All,

I have a Satellite A60 with UJDA760 CDRW/DVD drive.
The drive will not read the DVD (DVD + are not all, DVD - R, sometimes (if the drive is cold (?))).

This could be a firmware issue? And if yes, does anyone know, where I can find an update for this drive? (I tried the firmware pack - na .zip from the web site of Toshiba, but an update to the reader is not available)

The drive reads CDs without problem.

Thanks for your comments!
Wutz

Hi Bruno

You can update the firmaware but sometimes it doesn t solve disk problems.
For most of these issues occurs because the player doesn't supports different types of DVD or / and CD media.
Hard drives don't support all DVD. The best way is to test different media from different manufacturers.
Sometimes, the same media from the same manufacturer doesn t work on the disc. Yes, it seems very strange but it s true.
Check if you can use other DVDs.

  • Satellite A60: Can't play good games like the Sims 2

    Hello.
    I have a satellite A60 and im having problems with my display driver.

    I have the latest updates on everything, but I still can't play good games. Even the Sims 2 will slow down.

    Idecided to a cooler on the ati chipset (like some toshiba models) but I can't seem to put on, although his decision-making in the right place.

    so my question is:
    Why the video display is so slow? make my processor always on 99%
    Why the chipset cooling fan does not work?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy

    I think you have misunderstood something. This issue has nothing to do with the version of the graphics driver you know?

    AFAIK the A60 Sat came with an ATI graphics card that supports only 32-64 MB shared memory!
    It is simply down to play new games with maximum performance!
    The graphics card shared graphics memory for main memory and this reduces the amount of main memory.

    Last but not least the CPU always runs with maximum performance during game!
    The CPU is highly requested, play games or run other applications of high performance.
    Who is normal!

  • Satellite A60-302: CD Player read DVDs and CDs but not burned discs

    I have a Toshiba laptop: Satellite A60-302 and I have a problem with the cd player. It can read DVDs and records I buy but it will not read burned discs (even the ones I burned with the portable computers own burner). Only from time to time, he will read a burned disc.
    I tried to clean the eye of laser of cd players, but it did not help.

    Anyone know what could be the problem?

    Hello

    This sounds like the CD burner doesn't burn CD correctly.
    You suggested that you used different types of CD.
    In the user manual, you will find a list of compatible media.
    These media has been tested and it works correctly.

    But if this happens with all CD, so possibly the drive cannot work properly and only a replacement would solve that problem.

    Hello

    I have a SATELLITE A60: pentium 4 HT 3 GHz, 512 MB RAM, disk HARD 40 GB, LAN/WAN/WIDI, irda,.

    I want to know if I could install windows Vista Ultimate Edition, and where can I find appropriate devices for Windows Vista drivers.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Of course, you can install Vista on your laptop. I installed Vista on my old A50 and it works. OK, I m not able to use the extra features such as Aero for example but the operating system is running.

    The driver is a bit tricky simply said, there are no Vista drivers published, I found a few singles Vista drivers on some sites of s manufacturer of device but at the moment, there is no drivers for this laptop Toshiba.

    PS: on the site of Toshiba Canada, I found the only drivers for some new laptops Toshiba:

  • Problems playing self created discs DVD-R on Satellite M30

    I currently have problems reading DVD-R, I created on my laptop M-30. Would appriciate any solutions, ideas, Suggestion anyone could have.

    The problem
    My DVD - Rw drive refuses to recognize any DVD-R that I wrote using the same drive and software slipped & included. He simply refuses to recognize and when asked just indicates that the disk must be damaged or corrupted. All the tested discs (all 8 of them) worked properly on three other machines, which rules out a problem with the discs.
    Also it does not read discs written, he recognizes DVD-R Virgin and allows me to write for them. indeed written afetr and refuse 2 discs, one with Drag & drop, the other with WinDVD Creater 2, the system refused to recognize. However, they worked correctly on other machines.

    The drive was working properly before, and no major modifications were made to the system. He continues also to recognize and read in DVD-ROM drives trade.

    Would appriciate all ideas, suggestions, solutions to this.

    Hi bbusybookworm,

    that is not easy to give advice, but lets try...

    What Service Pack is installed? SP1 or SP2.

    As far as I know, if you installed SP2, you make updates to preinstalled programs.

    How many burning programs installed, Drag & Drop, WinDVD Creator. What else?

    It could be possible that some programs hamber each other.

    I had this problem with Roxio products and "Alcohol", for example.

    Good bye

  • Can satellite L300 - I play region 1 DVD?

    I'm having a slight dilemma and would like to request a preview. I am owner of a Satellite L300/L300D and I have my eye on a specific DVD set, however its marked as region 1. I would like to know if he would play on my laptop without any requirement must be respected (basically I question whether it is multi-region).

    I have not fiddled with the operating system (it came with Vista) or drive DVD Toshiba delivered pre-installed, etc..

    Hello

    Theoretically, there s no problem to change DVD region because you can change it in the properties of the Device Manager > CD/DVD drive.

    But don t forget the region code can be changed 4 times and then it is not possible to s more, but in Device Manager you can see how many times you can change it.

  • Satellite L40: Can I use Toshiba DVD to install Vista on a new HARD drive

    Hi people,

    I'm new to this forum... I don't know that there, can someone advise me.
    I replace my Satellite L40 HDD with a bigger drive, the current is only 80Gig.

    And my question is, can I use my Toshiba recovery Disc to reinstall Vista on the new HARD drive, or is it a hidden partition on the original HARD drive?
    If someone has done this, would appreciate an idiots guide to doing the same thing.

    Cheerzzzzzzzzzzz...

    Dave

    Of course you can do it.
    The DVD of Vista recovery Toshiba help you install Vista, all the drivers Toshiba and tools, and it automatically creates all the partitions.

    So what you have to do is to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

  • Satellite L500D - can't read/write DVD

    Hello

    About a fortnight ago my DVD drive stopped reading/burning DVD and now only times/burns CD I followed the guides to remove the upper and lower filters and reformatted my laptop to factory State and the DVD player does not work.

    I bought a new replacement drive, and is not reading the DVD either so im assuming that my original DVD player worked but there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop itself?

    I bought the laptop in November ' 09 so it is still under warranty or is there anything else I can try?

    See you soon

    Hi mitchello,.

    > and reformatted my laptop to the factory of the State and the DVD drive has failed.
    If you have tested with factory settings and it still doesn t work it s hardware malfunction but it strange why s it doesn t work with a new disk

    What program you use to read or write DVDs? I can recommend the VLC to play all the multimedia content and CD Burner XP Media Player like burning program. Both programs are freeware and works perfectly. Never had a problem with these tools.

    Have you bought a new drive to an authorized service? I ask this question because not all readers are compatible with all mobile phones due to the assignment of the different pins. If the new drive does not work you can return it for a replacement.

    However, if you'll be able to find a Blue Ray internal ODD and updated it so please come back and post the results.

  • After dismantling Satellite A60 cannot detect the CD/DVD drive

    Hello

    I opened my laptop to clean-up and it was the first time that I never opened a laptop. Messed up at the opening of the cd/dvd drive.
    Instead of just pulling out, I started its opening screw but quickly realized that this is not the right way. So I took it out. Rest of the disassembly procedure went well and I assembled it back but he little silver r 2 bands and a small source, which I'm sure that belongs to the CD player and I couldn't adapt it.
    And I don't know how it fits.
    The computer does not detect the drive. Although I can open it by clicking on the Open button, then he hang out by sharp object. (The light will blink showing the power exists in)

    The second thing is the microphone. I've never used until last week, but my voice is going through. The system does not detect any microphone.

    Help appreciated

    Hello

    On this path, it is not easy to say what is the problem with CD/DVD player. Are there signs of the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager or the drive is not displayed in Windows Explorer?

    How did you test mic? Try it with the tape recorder for windows. So you can test the functionality of the mic on the easiest way.

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

    First of all, I have to ask... are the extensions of file on all the photo files. JPG?

    It is possible that the error means that the total size of the photo file has exceeded the

    limitations of the CD.

    It is also possible that choosing the slow burning speed could improve the issue.
