• Equium M50 can burn CD but not DVD - power calibration error

  Hello

  Well, basically, that's my problem. The other day I tried to burn a dvd but kept getting the "power calibration error" tried different DVD and burning software, but still the same problem, although I can burn DVDs perfectly.

  Any ideas anyone?
  Thank you.

  Hi dude

  Unfortunately, this doesn't sound good.
  Power calibration error is known to me and it seems that there is no other way to replace the CD/DVD drive with the new.

  According to the error message is unable to calibrate s lens by car in the right position and that's why the drive can't handle certain mediums.

  See your owner's manual for compatible CD/DVD players.
  If you want you can also control the caught player in charge of a partner of service authorized in your country.

  Good luck

• Qosmio G20: Can't burn CD but only DVD - power calibration error

  Hello

  I am having trouble, and I think it's very strange.
  I can't record audio cd or data!

  I used sonic reducer, like nero, like windows media player... tried 3 different brands of cd'r and I can not burn audio or data files in one of these... But... I can burn DVDs... it's very strange right?

  PS: when I record with nero, I keep having this message on the relatory of the engraving: 'power, calibration error' but only i when I try to burn Cda´s... DVD recording has not this problem

  I have to update some drivers?

  Please, any help would be great, or I'll have to make a big trip to resolve the problem on the laptop store.

  Hello

  I'm afraid you will have to make a trip: (m
  Information about the burning process was very useful.
  This confirms my fears.
  In my opinion there is not a lot to do and the drive needs to be replaced. There is a power calibration error. This happens if the lens can not calibrate correctly. If you use different media the lens must be calibrated every time before the combustion process will begin.

  I think that you will need to contact the Toshiba ASP in your country

• Re: Satellite A200 - cannot burn DVDs

  I had a Toshiba Satellite A200 for several years and have never had a DVD burning problem before.

  About a week ago when I tried to burn a DVD with Nero, he went through the motions and was told everything had been done successfully, but when I went to read the DVD, the computer told me that it was a blank disc.
  I tried to use different programs to burn on DVD, with the same result every time. My DVD drive is a TSST corp CDDVDW TS - L632H ATA Device. He can still play the DVD already made and play, then I start to think that the party "burnery" (I'm fine with the techno jargon) has made his dash.

  Does this mean I need to replace the drive?
  All the answers you guys could give would be greatly appreciated, it has become a bit frustrating.
  See you soon

  First try to remove upper and lower filters: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=314060

  Second, make sure that there is no dust on the lens, use a Microfiber cloth to gently wipe the optical lens.

  Third, look for a firmware updated the L632H drivers Toshiba Web site.

• Satellite A300 - cannot burn DVDs dual layer

  Hi, I bought my laptop 10 months ago.

  Since then I ve been burning a disc or two every now and then, no intense use of the driver.

  Last week I tried to burn a DVD double layer, my driver seems not to be able to burn a. I used BurnXP free burning software that supports double layer and when he finished the first layer of the program collapsed in response, I have tried 2-3 disk, none worked.
  Then I tried the latest version of Nero, everything seemed smooth (it burned down two layers) up until the finished burning process and then I got an error message that the procedure has failed.

  I have tried different brands of disc 'TDK' 'Philips' "In extenso" or something. None worked.
  I tried a Philips disc on my desktop drive and it it burned very well.
  -Should I head to Toshiba service?
  -Are there a driver/firmware to fix my problem?

  PS: I tried to update firmware but can't find a firmware for my drive.
  I have the ' matsita DVD-RAM uj-850 s and I used the right type of DVD discs--
  Type in advance.

  > So I tried the latest version of Nero, everything seemed smooth (it burned down two layers) up until the finished burning process and then I got an error message that the procedure has failed.
  You have received this message, but have you checked the DVD DL after that?
  Perhaps the data has been burned correctly?

  I got a lot of time, the message that the burning procedure was not successful, but I then tested the disc and it was legible.

  AFAIK that should the user manual contains also some info on drive tested and compatible.
  Maybe you should use the DVD DL recommended in this user's manual.

  But of course this could be also a material IRREGULAR deadlines.
  In this case, you must request the ASP for the test and check!

• My Satellite A100 cannot burn DVDs

  I have a rug * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S who is really fighting with burning discs. Although the system recognizes the drive Ok when I go in WinDVD creator or Roxio there is no disk selected and no to select. It seems that none of my burning software does not recognize the drive. Any ideas?

  Hello

  What to say! Pre-installed images are tested and if your device has a factory settings, it should work fine. If I remember correctly, the set comes with the NOW called RECORDING of SONIC burning software. I hope you have tested before use of Roxio.

  Try to remove all the burning software, install Nero and test it properly. Sonic and Roxio maybe some conflicts and engraving option is not available.

• Satellite L20: Cannot watch DVD movies due to region code

  Where can I find drivers or patch or firmware for my cd/dvd rom drive model - Mat * un UJ841S?
  I can't open the dvd movies because I don't have the drivers for the region. Treadmill * a web of firmware is not any driver for this model instaled in toshiba.

  Hello

  I'm afraid, I have bad news for you m.
  If you want to watch the shape of U.S. DVD or another continent you need to change the region code of the DVD player.
  But you can change the region code 5 times only.
  Then it of not possible to change the settings more.

  The new driver or firmware update won't help in this case.

• Satellite M40: Power calibration error - drive cannot burn DVD - RW more

  My drive is a carpet * an oem UJ - 831S. After a screw-up partitioning job, I had to format my HD and reinstall Windows XP... and then I can not burn DVD - RW more.

  Tried many programs such as Nero and a fireman, gives an error of calibration of power from the beginning.
  Burning CD - r and CD - RW no problem however, and I can read CDs and DVDs of movies very well.

  Google and searched for a month without success, tried to blow the laser lens, but there is no dust, I tried different media, etc. I know the best answer is that the drive is done, BUT I refuse to acknowledge it because it is too big of a coincedence to stop working right after that I reinstalled XP.

  An interesting note however, my laptop has not been provided with a CD of Toshiba, so I had to reinstall manually more drivers by downloading the Toshiba site, so I have a funny feeling, this could be a thing of the software/firmware, or even a framework.

  I installed the new firmware 1.02 for the reader as well. I don't remember what the firmware was before resettlement, IE the laptop computer settings to factory default, I'd like to downgrade to 1.00 if possible.

  Experts have ideas? And is there a way I can reset the firmware?

  Maybe I could remove the drive from the system-> devices and let XP Reinstall for me?

  Hello

  > I don't know the best answer is that the drive is done, BUT I refuse to acknowledge it because it is too big of a coincidence to stop working right after that I reinstalled XP.

  Of course, it s simply to say the drive is dead because everything looks like a hardware malfunction. Most often the power calibration error appears because of the drive lens can't calibrate in the right position and thus cannot read some CD or DVD s s or it of not possible to write about them.

  But maybe you are a lucky man and might try this procedure:
  -Try to remove the drive physically from the Bay for laptop
  -Restart the unit without the drive
  -In this case the operating system should start from the HARD drive
  -Close the notebook then reinsert the drive unit in the Bay of s for laptop
  During initialization, the laptop should recognize the drive and must pick up the firmware

  Then you can check if you can burn the DVD again, otherwise you will need a new drive

• The CD/DVD drive power calibration error - Satellite A100-646

  Hi all

  I have a problem with the DVD-RAM of my laptop. I can not burn cd/DVDs, show error message is "power calibration error".
  Can I fix it myself?
  I tried to change the blank media (CD/DVD), cleaned the optical lens. S.O. Vista Home Premium
  The unit of DVD - RAM, it is MAST * A DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA Device Ver = 1.10 firmware

  Tanks a lot
  Best regards

  Fabrizio

  > I can fix it myself?

  Do not think that you will be able to solve this problem, because according to the error message, lens driver cannot calibrate in the right position and that's why the drive can't burn any DVD or CD.

  This is a mechanical problem and to my knowledge, the drive must be replaced.
  For assistance, please contact the ASP in your country. They should replace the disc with the compatible and supported a.

  If the warranty is valid should be done for free.

  Good luck a cheers

• Satellite A50 will record on Dvd, but not on a CD - power calibration error

  My Satellite A50 will record on Dvd, but not on a cd. It happens with power calibration error after about 5% of the record.
  The drive used to save at all!

  --> Power calibration error is a mistake known to me.
  I've read on various sites several suggestions and comments and the power calibration error appear because the lens of the drive can not calibrate correctly.
  It is a hardware malfunction and unfortunately nothing :(

  You will need to replace the drive

• Re: Need Satellite L30 - 105 Vista - power calibration error - new firmware

  Hey guys =)

  Ive got a Satellite L30-105 running a Vista 32 bit. And even if I try several different (Imageburn, Nero) burning software, and with the TDK - CD, I get an error in the burning software, saying "power calibration error".

  Satellite L30 - 105 (item number PSL33E-02S026N5), use a cd/dvd burner called MAST * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s

  I wonder, can I download and install new drivers for my dvd player?

  I will also try to buy this "cleaning-cd", to try to clean the lens. cause I bought the laptop in 2007... then her grandmother as...

  But you guys don't have any what could be bad? Is it expensive to get a new cd/dvd drive for this laptop?

  Bravo and thank you!

  Hello

  Power calibration error means that the laser ODD lens cannot calibrate in the right position.
  Generally this has nothing to do with a firmware of drive but with the problem of equipment.

  In most cases, the CD/DVD drive must be replaced.

  I'm not sure how a new CD/DVD drive could be but the fact is that you cannot use any CD/DVD drive
  You need a compatible and such disc compatible and taken in charge could be ordered in a local ASP.

• Power calibration error - Mat * a UJ - 830 s drive Satellite M45

  Hello!

  I have a problem writing files on my carpet * a writer uj-830 s. My laptop is Satellite M45. When I try to burn a CD or DVD in nore or dla, it gives the power calibration error.

  I'm sick and tired of this!
  Can someone help me please?

  Hello

  Power calibration error is known to me and revealer of truth he s just doesn't sound right.
  For the most part, this message appears if the lens of the player is unable to calibrate in the right position.

  The goal must always be calibrated before you start read or write the middle.
  If this procedure fails, the drive is not able to manage the CD or DVD and get the power calibration error.

  Frankly, in most cases, the drive needs to be replaced, because AFAIK this dysfunction is not repairable.
