Satellite A60-CD/DVD not recognized - URGENT

Hi ive just bought my A60 laptop and Ive noticed that the CD/DVD drive is not reconised... nor in the BIOS! I installed the latest bios updates but still nothing... pls can you help me?

Hello

As Maier said in this case, it may be a malfunction of the equipment. If the device does not appear in the BIOS, it's probably serious. Please contact the service partner in your country. You can find them on http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true.

    I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.

    > I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
    I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.
    For me, it looks more like an overheating problem caused by the internal temperature.
    It is a typical problem if the cooling fans are clogged and that air can circulate properly.

  • Satellite L550D R815 - engraver of DVD not recognized in external programs

    I have a problem, my dvd burner is not recognized by external programs such as Ace CD Burner or CdBurnerXP. I can burn DVDs and CDs in windows, but I want the added functionality of these external programs.

    I searched on the site of toshiba for updated drivers, but there are none, and Googling TSSTCORP CDDVDW Ts - l633P Ata Device (this is what is listed under my CD-ROM in Device Manager) gives no useful result.

    If it's any help the device type is listed as: Dvd/Cd Rom and manufacturer readers is (Standard CD-ROM drives)

    All do you know of any other driver that I can use to make accessible to other programs? You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Satellite A60 - laptop battery not charge/work

    Hello

    My stop laptop when you use the battery power. It will not re-start until I plugged in to the power supply. Every time I disconnected power laptop would shutdown. laptop does not work on batteries, no lights are working.
    When it is plugged seeing orange lights. Battery remains 90% fresh even after hours on departure av! I suggest that I can't use the battery power and the battery won't charge.
    Only a new battery in a month and has worked well up until now.

    I tried toshiba control energy saver but made no difference.

    I can't say with certainty if this happens because of the battery or something. In my opinion, it can be either battery or electronic power supply.
    Satellite A60's old laptop and everything is possible.

    Pre-installed software doesn t have a any influence on this. Toshiba power saver is preinstalled to consumption, Manager, with other words to help reduce battery power consumption and longer battery.

  • Satellite M70: HARD drive not recognized external - various XP error messages

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite M70 and I have a Western Digital external hard drive.
    Initially, it worked great, I was able to put my large collection of music, etc. on it and run a computer off to save space on my integrated HD.

    But recently I had problems with XP not recognizing HD or be able to write in it. It appears in my computer, then disappear, often randomly when I write new files to it.
    I reformatted the hard drive to NTFS as it ran originally as FAT32.

    I updated my BIOS as well, but I'm out of ideas.

    Anyone else had similar problems with XP?

  • Satellite U400-119 - battery not recognized

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop TOSHIBA Satellite U400-119. The operating system is Windows Vista Home basic.
    Before I turned on the laptop, I plugged on the CC adapter and let the batteries reload for 24 hours.

    However, after 24 hours, battery LED icon is orange and blinks (which means that the battery is low according to the user manual).
    When I tried to turn on the laptop without the adapter DC laptop computer did not respond. So I installed Vista while the laptop was still connected to the DC adapter.

    After installation, the Vista battery icon displays a red cross on the battery icon, which means that it is not recognized.
    This is a brand new laptop so I think the battery needs to be replaced, but I don't know.

    Someone at - it had a similar problem?
    Any sollutions to my problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    A display really interesting because one of my friends got the laptop U400 and a similar one issued what s happened too.
    Suddenly, the battery did not recognize I thought that it s a malfunction of the battery. But I was wrong.

    The solution is very easy.
    You must update the BIOS and this should help get rid you of this strange issue.
    My friend did the same thing and it worked!

  • Satellite A355-S6925 - SDHC not recognized

    My Toshiba Satellite A355-S6925 does not recognize a Lexar Platinum II 32 GB SDHC card class 4.

    My last hard drive crashed and I replaced with a new one and installed Windows 7 from scratch.

    Am I missing a driver or firmware to use the built in reader SDHC?

    Please help, I just bought a camcorder and I want to transfer video.

    Hi michael_fuglas,

    > My Toshiba Satellite A355-S6925 does not recognize a Lexar Platinum II 32 GB SDHC card class 4.
    Hmm, I think that the card isn't recognized due the high capacity of 32 GB. As much I know 32 GB cards are not supported for all card readers

    In your case, I would try a smaller size such as 4 GB or 8 GB. Generally these cards should always work.

  • Satellite A200 - hard drive not recognized

    Hello. Deploy a satellite A200.

    Original problem would not initialize only power light and hard drive light came on a second, nothing on the screen, not access to the parameters of F2. Reinstall memory, no go, deleted the test and drive hard and read disc hard ok in an external enclosure. With disk hard deleted computer will start after market boot disk and running program diagnosis ok. Can now access the settings of F2.

    Format external hard drive, reinstall and start with the startup disk, hard disk appears in the bios, the test runs diagnostic ok.
    Tried to install Windows XP and XP pro and windows twice starts to install and then comes up with an error saying there is no hard drive present, even if the Bios and a diagnostic boot disk at the same time recognize the hard drive.
    Tried another hard drive with the same problem, not recognized.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Normally with this record everything should work fine because it s pre-tested and specifically designed for your laptop.
    Check this box!

    In the worst cases, your HARD drive is faulty and you need a new. The HARD drive seems to have random failures.

  • Satellite A10 - recovery disk not recognized

    I want to format my hard drive and reinstall windows xp.

    Of course, I have Toshiba A10 laptop with HDD 160g, 1 g of Ram, cd/dvd player and the restore disc (cd).

    Problem: the restore disc is not recognized by the cd player. When I insert the disc, then again, boot sequence goes to hard drive and boots from there

    What I did:
    1. check if the reader sees another s cd. Answer Yes, Yes
    2 boot sequence of the bios checked as well as toshiba consoles set up made sure it is
    in "order"hdd, lan, floppy, cdrom", (I tried other combinations starting with cd as well).
    3. I cleaned the restore disc, didn't work
    4. I ordered another set of Toshiba restore disk, which did not work either, still not recognized
    5. I bought a cd/dvd external reader believe it or not, disc starts to work in this case, I get a warning screen shows all data will be lost and asks me to click if I want to continue, when I click it says will now restart the computer and it does but comes back and goes back on the hard drive and boots from there.

    I must also add; When I switch on I get "' pxe e61 media test failure, mof outgoing intel boot agt" msg, according to my search, this problem indicates hard disk.
    but my hard drive does not work,

    Will someone give me an advice?

    If the BIOS is set to boot from the local network first, before trying to boot from the HARD drive, you will see the error PXE.

    Have you tried to clean the lens in the DVD player? Wipe with a Microfiber cloth.

    try holding down "C" when you turn on the laptop, this will make it boot from the CD.

  • Wireless connection on Satellite A60 743 does not work properly

    I can't get any connection to wireless internet with my laptop. How can I use it? This notebook should have wireless, but I tried to connect and nothing happens! Please help me!

    Best regards

    NASI

    Hello

    Don t be angry against me and sorry for my next hard words but these statements likethis laptop should have wirelessor I tried to connect and nothing happensare bulls * t!

    Do you know what is Wlan and how does it work?
    Regarding your statement I n t think so!

    First of all why you propose this notebook should support the WLan card! Who told you that!
    I checked the hardware configuration of this laptop and Satellite A60 743 was delivered WITHOUT WLan minPCI card!

    Why you n t check in the first step!
    You should check the WLan card availability in Device Manager. Under network adapters, you should see the wireless network card.
    If the wireless network adapter does not appear, you have no. WLAN!

  • /AR cd/DVD not recognized by windows

    yesterday, I posted on the forums aboutmy cd/dvd does not read the disc, windows don't recognize it and says its an unidentified device, I used fix - it nothing works. Indeed, it is frustrating... help, thanks james

    Hello

    Make sure that the drive works - / settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 so watch the screen
    as you start - together on CD/DVD boot order - save. Put in a Windows or other boot disk and
    see if the drive works. Be sure to set the boot order to the harddrive when finished.

    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
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • DVD not recognized writers more - please help!

    I have a Dell Studio 1555 laptop that came with a DVD - RW drive. A year ago, my husband did a single DVD for a few friends, using the Windows DVD Maker program. It worked!

    Unfortunately, it worked only once. The next time we tried, the DVD - RW drive seems not be recognized at all - not by any program or by Windows at all. I searched online and read about the removal of the upper and lower filters in the registry. I did: still the drive is not recognized.

    I tried the thing Microsoft Fix It, but it does not recognize the drive as a writer.

    I bought a new external DVD burner and repeated the above. It is not recognized as a USB storage device.

    I ran the auditor system files, and after some difficulties to find it, check for errors in the CBS. This is the entry:

    Can someone help me write a dvd again? I don't really understand computers, but it seems obvious that the problem must be with Windows.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Did you check with the manufacturer of your system, the manufacturer of the drive and ask in the Mycelial forums?

    If you tried the whole store then try an in Place upgrade/repair facility that
    allows you to keep the programs and data, even if redundant backups are always a good
    idea. (If you have not used the methods in the troubleshooter so it is less likely to help him as)
    the same incorrect settings will be always present).

    You can try a repair install or an upgrade in Place.

    You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
    Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
    machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a
    good backup or 3 (security in redundancy).

    I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a new PC - no previous operating system. Hard drive is a Western Digital WD800 IDE. CD/DVD is a Sony CRX230ED. The CD/DVD recognizes CDs very well. But I put the Windows 7 DVD in there and it is not recognized.

    Going nuts.

    This CD player is. You need a combination player that can play CDs and DVDs. If it is a new computer that someone built for you, take because they rip you off. Nobody in his right mind would put a plain CD - RW disc in a computer today. If you compiled yourself computer parts you hang out, pull the reader and the pitch. Replace it with a CD/DVD-RW drive instead. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
