Satellite L350 - 277 - unable to play any DVD
Suddenly unable to play any DVD. Movies, DVD facilities, etc. Any ideas?
I think I have the latest drivers, but with this now discontinued model do not know what else to check or if, indeed, I have all the latest drivers. Any help welcome.
See you soon
Trey Please clean lens ODD. Maybe this will help.

Maybe you need a DVD decoder:Info about DVD decoders:

Satellite L350-171 - where to get the DVD to upgrade Toshiba (Vista to W7)
Hello world
I have a Satellite L350-171 and got a W7 DVD update "awhile." I get only round to install now and the first thing I see in the instructions, it's that I should have a upgrade DVD Toshiba, which I did :-(
Anyone know where I can get one, or if I need any? If not then can I just upgrade and hope that all drivers updated automatically? Sounds a bit risky
I hope this is the right place to ask.
If it isn't then point me in the right direction and I'll ask here rather :-)Thanks in advance for any help

A few years ago, Toshiba offered this upgrade program.
It's over and you can't upgrade drive more.What you can do is be upgraded using the original disc of Microsoft, but I think you should do clean install Win7. Your model of laptop is supported for Win7 and all necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Before starting with the upgrade Win7 create original Vista recovery DVDs.
If you need assistance with installing Win7 or if you have other questions, you are welcome. -
Satellite L350-277 - how to recover to factory settings?
I had a lot of problems with my Satellite L350-277. I had already created a recovery to help drive the Tech that was installed on the laptop guy.
In any case, it is time to reinstall again to the State of the plant. Thoughtless I pulled a drive of my computer Vista laptop satellite (I thought it was the original disc). All goes well until it restarts after you install windows system. On the screen was the warning that the product key was wrong, that's when I noticed the Vista on the screen. So I tracked down to the copy I made, it was not in the channel where I put the original his was among all the garbage I've had in the area (where I put all the waste). He was full of scratches and it does not load.
What I had actually done using the Vista disc has been clear the program on the D drive that reads from Windows 7. I ended up going to the PCWorld Tech guys. They have reinstalled windows 7 for the cost of £50. I didn't mind that I got my laptop working again. What I did not know according to them, was I can't create a recovery disk.
So to my question. Can I get my laptop back with all Toshiba knick knacks, so that its possible to create a restore disk. If not, can I get a Windows 7 disc installation program, download all drivers & create a restore disk in case of something that happens and I can reinstall windows 7? Get cramps in my fingers now. I'm not going on a little lol.
Hey Buddy,
That s a little confused is your story...
Normally you get factory settings if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc. It will restore the pre-installed Windows version that came with your laptop.
If you have Windows 7, you can t create a Toshiba Recovery disk. Only possible on what s preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, but if you install your own copy, you can create such a floppy.
If you have the original operating system back, you can order a recovery disc Toshiba here:

Win 7 restore without disk recovery on Satellite L350-277
Hi all
I'm trying to fix Satellite L350-277 of my sister-in-law following a HARD drive failing. Before the crash, he was running Win7 Home Premium (32 bit) that was preinstalled on the HARD drive. I managed to run Belarc on it before it went completely, but could not create the restore disc in time.
Disk failure HARD seems to be due to bad sectors and once failed, could not get past startup repair. While they were inspecting HARD drive (in the USB enclosure), both C: and D: (backup partition) appeared to be intact, so guessed was discussed with MBR. I have used Clonezilla to clone new HARD drive and I'm now work - failure of HARD drive it's always like it was incase I need to clone again.
With the HARD drive clone, I first tried to use bootrec.exe but some successful how to 'break' C: and could not see anything in the score.
BTW I am currently using a copy of DVD retail Win 7 to provide the functions of "restore". However the Toshiba restore capabilities do not appear in the list of options. So I decided then to install everything on C: retail copy to see if I could access toshiba restore functions using data in D:, that doesn't seem to work either.
Then I stumbled on this thread that gave me the hope to be able to start the Toshiba recory tool:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=44382I was hoping that Vista and Win7 preinstalls would be very similar, but the HARD drive has a recovery partition (D:\ HDDRecovery) and seems to fall in step 13. There are two files boot.wim in this partition: 'D:\hddrecovery\oddfiles\sources\boot.wim' and 'D:\hddrecovery\oddfiles\hddprep\sources\boot.wim '. Imaging either of these files does not cause the file according to the instructions of step 13. Here again, the guide is based around the Vista installation...
So what I try to do is to retrieve the data from the old HARD drive with the damaged boot record in order to restore the Win 7 OS pre-installed Toshiba. I seem to have the data (old HDD still retains files) do not seem to have enough knowledge now do!
Can someone help me?
On the one hand I can understand your wish to install the recovery image, but on the other hand, for me personally, this is nothing but waste your time for nothing. In General, recovery image is designed may not be copied or manipulated so this guy was very lucky.
Problem is that this recovery disk is not created after the purchase of the laptop.
Maybe it sounds stupid to you, but I recommend you restore disk original order for this machine.
You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
It costs 30 Euro only. With this money, you will get original recovery disk that includes the operating system active, all necessary drivers, tools, utilities and a few additional and useful applications.Using this disk, you will be able to have perfectly working machine in just 2 hours.
One more thing: the use of the disc is unlimited and you can use it 1000 times and each time you have enabled and configured perfectly BONE.

Unable to play any disc optical drawer
Hello.
I just bought a HP Pavilion laptop, it runs on Windows 8.1, but I am unable to play any form of disk in the optical tray.
They whizz autour, but I get nothing on the screen, so can not read the dvd / cd or even insert a disc for my printer.
I went Device Manager and selected the cd/dvd, and have to say an error message "Windows cannot start this hardware driver because his information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged (code 19)."
Can you help me please?

Satellite L350-277 - can I install driver touchpad of another model?
I just changed from a Satellite M70 and the touchpad performance is far superior. Is it possible to install the driver for the touchpad on the L350 M70? Anyone see any problem?
The Satellite L350 pilot leaves the pointer jumps all over the screen. Before say you 'change settings' - I - for about an hour.
The Satellite M70 driver has much more stability and more features - like every corner can have a function - copy / paste for example.Every technophobe in the Toshiba got ideas, before I screw to the top of the main interface on my new L350.
Hello
I can t imagine that jumping is caused due to the driver. Make sure that you do not touch the touchpad if you type something. Alternative, you can disable the touchpad due in writing if you press FN + F9.
Check this box!And before you install a driver from another laptop you need to test the latest driver for your laptop. Please first check from Toshiba Web site for an update of the L350 driver:

Satellite A110: I want to play a DVD but it says: not compatible
Hi I have a question.
I have a toshiba satellite a110. But when I want to play a dvd, it says:
is not compatible...
:(Can't watch movies, how to... :(
I have installed some software dvd - ram also uninstalled, restarted the laptop.
Someone?
Hello
Are you using the Windows operating system that has been preinstalled on the A110 Sat?
AFAIK almost all Toshiba laptops come with WinDVD program.
I also assume the Sat A110 supports this software and you must use it to play the DVD s.One question; What DVD did you play? An original or a copy?
The portable DVD Player supports different DVD region code settings.Please check if the region code that was chosen on the CD/DVD drive supports your DVD media!
For example; you will not be able to play the DVD we s if the region has been set for region 2

Satellite 1690cdt: his problem - cannot play any mp3
Hello
I have an old 1690cdt that works just right. the only problem I want to solve, is that the sound does not work.
If I run the windows media player, it says "no audio hardware available. I can't play any mp3 either.
If I put an audio cd in the cdrom drive, it plays.
If I look at the configuration of the system, there is an audio WDM crystal soundfusion cs4281 installed. According to the specifications, this should be the sound card.
I tried updating the driver, but it does not work
I can do, or is it just broken?
Sincerely,
Gerard
Hello
In my opinion, the sound card is ok. You need only a MP3 for Windows Media Player codec. I use the Winamp application to play the Mp3 files. This very nice program, I m very happy. Try to install it and check if it of possible to read mp3.
