Satellite A660 - optical driver turns off when burning DVD

I have a problem with the optical drive of energy saving options that disables the drive while burning.

I tried all the suggestions mentioned here [http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Satellite-Laptops-A-Series/Optical-drive-automatically-turns-off-due-to-power-saver/td-p/223654], but it does not help.

I start at the burn in Ashampoo Burning Studio free, and he seems to be good until the end. When it starts the process of lead-out the popup of the optical signals Drive Power drive is turned off. It's funny because it is still running at the speed of combustion and it will not stop. The reader becomes unresponsive, even I can't the DVD out. Even, that it disappears from the list of devices.

The only way I thought so far to stop the car and release the DVD is in the shutdown/Hibernate the computer.

Once the dive starts working again the STRANGE Fn-tab functionality started working and I can turn it on/Off/ejection at will.

All the burned DVD - s are not valid, and so far I have not managed to burn a single functional DVD.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 - PSAW3E with Win7 Enterprise 64-bit.

Is there a way to fix this? Remove the optical drive power management?

Hello

To be honest I have never heard of this issue, but it appears that the optical drive power management is part of the power of Toshiba configuration utility.
Part of the Toshiba value added package configuration done Toshiba power utility.

What you can try, for testing purposes, to remove the Toshiba added value of the system package, restart your computer and try to burn DVDs again to see if the same problem will occur again.

Toshiba value added package contains several tools such as utility cards flash FN so after his withdrawal, you will not be able to use the FN keys. In any case, after that trial, you can download and install Toshiba value added package again.

I mean, I know what kind of conflict is there, but maybe you should consider it.

  • Satellite A210 - 128 (PSAELE) turns off when you try to boot from the CD/DVD

    Hi all. I have a (serious) problem.

    I bought my Toshiba two years ago (it was brand new) with Windows Vista already installed (vista and boot partition). Now I'm trying to boot and install Windows 7 Ultimate, but after I select boot from CD/DVD and start the copy of the system files, my Toshiba * turns *, completely. Overheating is not the problem for sure.

    Anyone with a similar experience or everything to know about how to solve my problem? :(((

    Thnx,

    Stipe

    Hello

    Why you are sure that your computer laptop isn't overheating? In my view turn is the typical pattern of overheating and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
    Check this box!

    You have this problem when you try to install Windows 7 or make this happen with the Toshiba recovery disc too?

    Maybe during the process of copying the files will be written on a bad sector on the HARD drive and so he shuts himself who knows?

    Hello

    I agree that dust and debris that can affect cooling performance.
    I have clean the fans myself using a jet of compressed air.
    Just blow the dust using the spray of compressed air that helps a lot.

    BIOS 2.52 and 2.53: same problem. Main card has Intel RAID option ROM.

    Running Windows 7, the optical drive stays on without any problem.

  • My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

    My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

    After turning on if it passes the test post and enters the menu grub (Linux + Windows) or BIOS
    without problems, but most of the time after the start of the BONE found in the start - up, suddenly it powers off the power.

    The problem becomes bigger and bigger as punishment I can boot any operating system

    As seen on messages more soon as I cleaned the vents of CPU with a spray suddenly sure I wasn't a problem of overheatting.

    Someone has an idea of what can happen?

    Thank you

    Hmm, the laptop passes the MESSAGE correctly and it stops during the initialization of the operating system. Is this good?

    Well, in this case I would exclude the RAM to malfunction.

    I put t also think that it's an overheating problem because the laptop should work a little longer until it would be closed due to high temperature.

    What about the HARD drive malfunction? Are you sure that the HARD drive is ok?

    In my opinion, you should check the HDD and maybe try another.

  • Satellite A200-1FL randomly turns off

    Hello

    I have the problem that after I moved from the Spain to the Thailand now my Toshiba Satellite A200-1FL randomly turns off.
    This only seems to happen when it is connected with AC - with battery I have it is not happened again although I can't rule out it.

    After some time of work (sometimes only 10 minutes, sometimes up to 2 hours) the laptop just shuts off-as if I would unplug the unit without the battery inserted. It is certainly not an overheating problem because the CPU is at 55º c most of the time (a year before the cpu fan was dirty and he has sometimes increased to 90º - but which caused no stops).

    I don't know about electricity here in Thailand - but it seems 220V and they do not use the Earth (at least at the point where I am).
    I use the original Toshiba AC adapter.

    What could be the problem here - is there any solution or the solution to this problem?

    Thanks for any help,
    vitaminx

    Hey,.

    As stone I n not know electricity of the Spain and Thailand, but if you have only this problem with the AC adapter / CC, there are a few differences between the Spain and the Thailand.

    In your case, I will ask the local authorized maintainer in Thailand. For example just give them a call and ask a technician for help. I'm pretty sure, they can give you an answer if you need a new power supply or another outlet.

    Good luck! :)

  • IPhone 5 s screen does not turn off when it is plugged in to the charger.

    Hi all

    I use Iphone 5s from the last 4 months. Recently I came across this situation. Sometimes I see screen only turns off when its plugged into the charger. After a few hours of mobile will be turned off. Sometimes I manually press the power button to turn off the screen.

    Please let me know how to solve the problem.

    Kind regards

    Manju!

    Hello there, Manjunath K P!

    Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you're having a problem getting the phone to automatic locking. I know that I want my iPhone did not stay when over and have the screen lock correctly. You can, of course, that your Auto-Lock is set up correctly. Your range of choice of automatic locking from 30 seconds to 5 minutes before locking the screen, or you can choose never so that it does not lock. To change the settings, tap the settings icon, click the general button. Tap the AutoLock option and choose your preference.

    If these steps do not work, and you still do not see the iPhone Autolock when you're in charge, you can go to settings > general > reset and then press reset all settings. This removes all the data. For example, if you have 16GB of music, videos and photos, this option will not remove. What this does is actually reset some of your settings to factory default. It is not a complete withdrawal of the parameters. It deletes all of your preferences for Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, Notifications, general, sounds, brightness & wallpaper and privacy.

    Once that is done, go ahead and try to set the automatic lock again and see if it works.

    See you soon!

  • Satellite 1900-703: Swithces turns off

    In the end, the computer turns off when you
    (a) I'm trying to install Adobe Reader 7
    (b) I have try to use SystemSuite 5 tools or virus check
    In addition, although I followed all the correct instructions, the bios upgrade is not successful. I had a bad experience when after that I inserted the required disk and upgrading the bios has started, the computer has been cut and I could get it back that using the Windows XP boot floppies I had fortunately created.

    I recently completely cleaned the computer and reinstalled everything, including MS patches and so forth.
    Otherwise, the computer works fine, but in my opinion, the system is very fragile, somewhere.

    Any ideas?

    It may be that the system is fragile, somewhere. From experience, I know that the OS can be unstable, only if the OS is installed without using the restore CD. I have the same unit at home and I had no problem with no software installation in particular not to use Acrobat Reader. You wrote something about self made WXP boot disk. Can you tell me more about this?

    I also did my own (self-image) discs using the Norton Ghost software.
