  • Satellite L300 - does not recognize CD

    DVDs are recognized and are playing very well, so he can't be a hardware problem or a problem with the laser. Have you tried a number of CD, so can not be a problem with the CD damaged or scratched either (I take care of them and keep them quite clean anyway :)))

    Have been searching the net for a resolution to the problem and it seems that many people have had this prob (then why not Toshiba has recognized this and sent a kind of patch/update to fix?). I can't find something that solves it however... I went into Device Manager and checked for the driver updated and changes made to the hardware and also removed the upper/lower filters... still nothing (although strangely a CD * fact * play briefly when I scanned it for hardware updates!) But the sound quality is really poor, so at the time wherever I've fiddled about once again with pieces of others, he stopped playing, or by being recognized again... When the CD is in the drive, and I'm going to drive to see if it is recognized, it is just empty, as if there is nothing in there.

    I think about uninstalling the driver, but a little worried about to do in the case where I can't find the right driver to reinstall again... then I will be drunk!

    Hello

    Is it not all CD or DVD discs are compatible with all CD/DVD players
    This happens because of manufacturers of different disk that supports each disk of different properties

    That is why it s always advisable to test different drives from various manufacturers in my case TDK CD - R and DVD-R (the blue one) are working properly and are compatible with my CD/DVD drive

    However, you can only view the Toshiba driver page if a CD/DVD update firmware is available for your CD/DVD drive in addition to information on the driver page that you can find information about what CD/DVD drive would be supported by an update of the firmware

    Last but not least, you can try to delete upper and lower filters in the registry as shown in this article of MS:

  • Satellite L750 does not recognize an external microphone

    My laptop does not recognize any external audio input device plugged into the mic port.

    I have a Satellite L750 running Windows 7 with the Conexant HD Audio Smart.

    I want to record using external mixer. I am connect the output of the bureau in the 3.5 mm microphone port, but it seems that it is still just using the internal mic.

    When I go into the sound properties, under the recording tab, it is only the internal mic. There is no option for an external mic.

    I tried updating the driver for sound card, remove the card driver sound and re - install, check all the properties under sound properties, but there is no option for the external microphone.

    I tried Googling the problem but nobody seems to have a viable solution.

    Please can someone help me get the laptop to recognize an external mic.

    > I want to record using external mixer. I am connect the output of the bureau in the 3.5 mm microphone port, but it seems that it is still just using the internal microphone

    Start a test: take an external microphone, connect it to the laptop and use a Windows 7 Audio Recorder utility (can be found in all programs-> Accessories) to record an audio sample.

    Is this possible?

    I think that the microphone that appears in the control-> audio-> recording tab panel is the external microphone jack.
    You can also click right in the recording tab and must mark the options: show disconnected devices and devices to see the disabled.

    By the way: find an old thread you created here on the similar theme:

  • Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive

    I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.

    Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.

    Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
    It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.

    I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
    I need to download the drivers to operate?
    It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?

    I'd appreciate any help. THX

    The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
    I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settings

    As you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.

    You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.

    Usually the ASP in your country could help you buy this disc of these guys here
    However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.
    My user manual provides this information.

  • Satellite A30: Does not recognize USB devices.

    My computer does not recognize any devices when connected to the USB Port on my Satellite A30. After downloading SP2, I was able to install the printer, but I can't use it because there is no printer icon in the toolbar. If I want to print something I get the window of the printer, select printing, then it goes to the author of the Image of MS Office. Basically, I can't use my printer or any other device connected to a USB port.

    However, it was working perfectly fine when I had the home edition of XP but I can not reinstall this one because there is something wrong with the recovery disk that's why I had to install XP Pro.
    Also, I used to get a sound, letting me know that a device has been connected. I get more or the icon in the toolbar.

    Is that what I could do to fix this please? Is it possible to get another disc of recovery somehow? Obviously, it's something to do with XP Pro software, but I don't know what to do.
    Could you please help me?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    If you get a window of the printer you need to select the right printer. If printing goes to MS Office Image writer so the right printer is not selected.

    On the new installation: If you install the operating system from the original Windows CD you must install the necessary drivers and QFE patches all in the right order.

    USB port: I found a useful paper on this topic:

    Pioneer DV - RW DVR - K13A is supposed to work correctly when I check the Properties tab.

    I tried to watch upodates but frmwre - na .zip was not allowed to work, the D drive was not considered appropriate...

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    Hello

    What exactly do you mean? Is the drive does not support content or there is problem if you want to burn data on DVD-R media?

    Can you please explain this a little more carefully?

    Just FYI: I use the empty media TDK almost 5 years and I can say that TDK is very good for this kind of things.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L300 - does not recognize CD

    Put the CD in laptop and nothing happehs - went to my computer and tried to run from there, but still nothing.
    Have you tried several CDs and none seems to be recognized - it's like the driver does not work.

    Please respond in terms for a fool of computer

    See you soon

    Hello

    First, you must give us more information about your exact model laptop number and the operating system.
    Your ad is not so exactly, so have you tried to boot from a CD? It work?

    If you only have problems in Windows, you should try to remove the upper and lower filters:
    (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.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite L300 - does not connect to wireless internet

    I have a satellite L300 (part No.: PSLB8A-0SN004) took me right back to the factory settings (out of box).

    I opened internet connections and all the usual wireless names were there.
    I tried hang my internet (wireless) home and tried several times, with the correct password, however it just does not connect.

    I tried to install the Realtek RTL8187B Wireless LAN driver both Atheros Wireless LAN Driver, but neither helped.

    The Wi - fi switch on the front is also in position to position IT. Please help I have to up my laptop up and running as soon as POSSIBLE.

    > I tried to install the Realtek RTL8187B Wireless LAN driver both Atheros Wireless LAN Driver, but neither helped.

    If the wireless network adapter is recognized in Device Manager, you n t need to install the WLan driver.
    In addition, you said that you can see the wireless networks available in your environment. This means that the WiFi is enabled and works

    I think that you should disable the WiFi settings (WEP, WPA, etc.) only for testing purposes and should try to connect the laptop to the network open, if possible, that means that you badly chosen encraption or the password.

  • Satellite L300 - does not successfully start Vista

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 when I boot it it goes directly to the Boot Manager screen where I have to start it manually. Once it starts it does not work correctly until I click on the Quick Launch button to stop scrolling up and down line.

    I have a full recovery of the system twice, but I'm still having the same problem.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    To be honest I don t understand what you mean exactly
    What happens if you press F8 immediately after the laptop has been power up?
    You can see the Advanced Boot Menu?

    If so, then try option called last known good configuration.
    If this does not help try you safe mode.

  • Satellite L550D does not recognize DVD

    Hi people,

    New on here have just got my laptop last week.
    It is a standard configuration with Windows 7 64 bit and the DVD - RW is a Pioneer model.

    I used CD no problem to install programs, etc, but yesterday put a DVD movie into the machine for the first time only for it to purr and turn the disc for a few moments and then do nothing.

    I tried the DVD of all regions and tried to find any updated drivers without success.
    Standard dvd only software on it and I haven't installed burn programs etc. it can have an impact.

    The only strange thing is that the driver is from 2006 and seems to speak of CDs.
    Before contacting toshiba, does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    You happen it ONLY helps some DVD or do you have problems with the other DVD too?

    In many cases, it is possible of s that the CD/DVD drive does not have the means of inserted at the compatibility issue. In such cases, it s a good idea to update the firmware of the drive of s (if the firmware is available for the CD/DVD drive).

    You must also change the registry; Start the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    In addition, go to the Device Manager and remove the drive from the list of devices CD/DVD.
    Then restart the unit, the Windows operating system should recognize the gain in car.

  • BIOS on Satellite L350 does not recognize devices

    Hello

    I have a Satalite L350 breaking in windows after about 1 min of loading. I thought that maybe the hard drive was defective, so I tried to run a program I called PC test 6. I then discovered that the cd player would not read. I then tried a CD USB player and again it would not start a disc. After resetting the BIOS to default settings, I discovered that the BIOS is not recognizing any device other than the hard drive. I took the hard drive and tested with PC Check via another PC and HD spent.

    Now I want to reinstall windows, but the CD player does not start. I guess that the problem comes my BIOS maybe flashing (InsydeH20 version 1.5) it would work? But... no device USB and CD: S

    Any ideas that I can please?

    Hello

    I don t think that the BIOS is the problem.
    The BIOS recognized HARD drive correctly. Right?
    Well, I think that the CD/DVD drive is faulty if the BIOS cannot recognize what
    Furthermore the L350 BIOS does not support startup from the CD/DVD USB drive.
    It is not possible

    If you want to install the recovery disk operating system, then you need to replace the internal CD/DVD drive because it appears to be defective

    Of course, it's my personal choice and just a suggestion
