Satellite L300 17V won't read the CD in the drive

I have a new Satellite laptop with Vista installed and I'm having problems to make the machine to read some CD. It does not recognize the discs that I burned or issued by my employer, and yet these disks are accessible from my other laptop and my desktop PC. Are there any known issues with this phone and all the patches?

Hello

You have problems reading some some disc? This means that some discs are readable and some can be treated by ODD.
Is this good?

Matt well, according to me, it is a compatibility issue, this means that some drives are not fully compatible, I read that sometimes the most CD or DVD media more could be not entirely compatible.

What to do or how to solve these problems?
Well, most often only fully compatible use of the media can be a real solution.
I recommend you to use and test the DVD and the CD from different manufacturers.
Also, you should check different types of media. I mean and +.

If you the reader can not read some original disks and then try to burn this disc in another computer and check if burned disc could be managed by portable CD/DVD drive.

Last but not least, you can check if an update of the s drive firmware is available and if it would improve the compatibility of the discs.

Welcome them

  • Satellite L300: problems trying to get the CD player work

    Currently, I have a Satellite L300 unit and have problems trying to get my CD drive work.

    Recently, I deleted the cd player, completely by chance instead of a printer.
    Now it won't reinstall and no update driver makes no difference.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    First of all, try to restore Windows back to a Restore Point prior to a date before the problem occurred. System Restore is in the start menu-> programs-> Accessories-> system tools

    Then try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry, and then restart. Windows should find the CD Player automatically, unless the registry has been messed up.

    When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.

    (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
    2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart.

    If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

  • Satellite L300 - will not start after the installation of Skype

    My Toshiba Satellite L300 won't start after installing Skype.
    This happened to someone else, and can I do?

    Thank you.

    I think Skype is probably the most used messenger and ideal application for communication.
    It is professionally designed and programmed. As you know in recent years, it has been offered in many different versions and it is always better and better.

    So I think that Skype itself is probably not the problem. I know that a lot of people also use Skype and I've never heard problem described.

    Anyway, what you can try is to remove Skype and try to install it again. Try also push the BONES at that earlier time. Maybe some Microsoft updates are responsible for the stability of the software.
    It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

  • Satellite L300 - Windows does not recognize the connected device

    I have Toshiba Satellite L300 series, PSLB8E. It came with a basic version of vista pre-installed window and it was working fine until I decided to update.

    I took it to a computer for an upgrade store to ultimate window.
    This version worked very well for a few weeks until I have received a message on the screen that says: 'I have to get a genuine copy of windows.

    Because ever since I started having problems with my usb ports, my computer couldn't detect something I connect to it (usb, printer, mouse, etc.) he worked with modem only, sometimes it would open my external hard drive but it does not have its drivers.

    I then decided to buy a window 7 home base, but instead of this problem will disappear, that it got worse as my usb ports completely stopped working.

    I tried all the stuff I can think, but nothing has worked. the problem I have is that I don't have the original disc in Windows vista

    Someone please help!

    I agree: installing drivers for Windows 7 is very important to get all devices work correctly. Windows 7 is much better than Vista OS and I don't see any reasons why your L300 Sat should not work properly with this Win 7 OS.

    I recommend you to install the Windows 7 system again by install completely clean.
    After that, download all drivers Toshiba Win 7 of the Toshiba UE driver page.

    Very important are the drivers as value added package, Chip Set Utility, card reader controller, display driver, LAN driver, WLan, Sound Driver, Storage Manager and driver of the touchpad

  • Satellite L300 - where can I get the recovery utility

    Hello

    I have the Satellite L300 laptop with the reinstalled Windows 7.
    A year ago, I installed an original Version of Windows Vista, but I created a Windows 7 recovery disk.
    I recorded all of the files on another partition recovery, but I need the recovery utility to create the installation disk.
    Where can I find this utility?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    You can not download it.
    The Toshiba recovery disc creator is preinstalled and you should always create the recovery disk before you change the operating system or anything on the HARD drive.
    Save files to another partition recovery won't help you because the recovery disk creator Toshiba will not recognize it

    Now, you will need to order the recovery disk if you want to recover the computer laptop s factory settings.

    Hello

    My laptop is Satellite L300-255. I have improved it's ram to 4 GB. I want to increase the graphics card 1 340 MB. In the specifications of the laptop, he said that the graphics card can increase if the Ram has increased to 3 GB

    Hello

    Shared graphics memory is controlled by GPU driver. You cannot add or edit it manually.

    More depends on the Windows OS you use, because the 32-bit system can manage max 3.2 GB of system memory.

    For example:

    * (32 bit OS) *.
    System memory: 2GB | 4 GB
    Dedicated video memory: 128 MB | 128 MB
    Shared system memory: 702MB | 1214 MB
    TOTAL available graphics memory: 830MB | 1342 MB

    * (64 bit OS) *.
    System memory: 2GB | 4 GB
    Dedicated video memory: 128 MB | 128 MB
    Shared system memory: 702MB | 1631 MB
    TOTAL available graphics memory: 830MB | 1759 MB

  • Satellite L300-1 has 3 - after the BIOS update, I get a BSOD

    I have a Satellite L300 1A 3 MODEL PSLB8E. I decided to update the version of the BIOS, thinking that he can resolve my issue of ethernet controller.

    But after the update, my laptop goes on infinite blue screen of death. How can I recover from this injury?

    Can someone please help.

    Hello

    Did you choose the good BIOS update for your model? Was it for Satellite L300 PSLB8E?

    After the BIOS update you must always load the default settings. Maybe a bad BIOS setting is causing this BSOD.

    It is Toshiba Satellite L300 and Windows Vista 32 bit

    Thanks maz

    Hey Buddy,

    You can use drive E all the time... ;-)

    The point is that most programs will be installed on the C drive, so you should choose drive E, if you want to install.

    In my opinion the best option is if you save all important files and private on second drive E. I mean these files like photos, videos, music, documents, etc. He just copy and post it on the E drive, everything that s! :)
