Satellite L500 - 1CQ PSLS0E - CD/DVD drive does not work - driver problem?

Hello

My DVD player does not work.

There is power to it. The engine turns when I eject and reinsert. Troubleshooting Control Panel for the equipment and devices said it is a driver problem, but cannot fix it. Problem with the driver.

I reinstalled it from the Toshiba site.
It records in the right place?
I am Windows 7 64 bit and chose the right driver for it.

Should I use the 64-bit?
I have 3 MB of RAM which was the spec when bought.

If I wanted to change to 32 bit how you take you without the CD/DVD drive?
Is there any point in doing this?

Thank you

Richard

Hello

To be honest I m a bit confused.
You are not able to boot from THE disks; Windows disk, disk recovery, disk Linux?

If it of the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is faulty.
Why? Because the CD/DVD drive is recognized and controlled by the BIOS when booting from CD or DVD.

When the Windows operating system has started, the CD/DVD drive must use the Microsoft common driver which is part of the Windows operating system.
This means that you n t need to install ALL the drivers in order to get the job of CD/DVD.

If you can boot from any disk, but if the CD/DVD drive is not recognized by MY computer, then I recommend this:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

Before you remove the upper and lower registry filters, remove the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager and then go into the registry and remove the filters. Restart the unit.

Good luck

    To be honest I don't think that anyone will be able to help you with this.
    As far as I know that's not used such mechanical volume on older models of computers laptops, but electronically part controlled by software, so the only thing you can do is to test the functionality with the settings and see if the problem will be the same.

    What else can you do? I do not know. Maybe update the BIOS, but I do not think that this will help you.

  • Satellite L500: WLan is de-energized and does not work most of the time

    Hi all, I have a satellite toshiba L500 running windows 7. iprimus have used wireless internet, no problem for a few weeks before that, used it via an ethernet cable as I didnth ave a wireless modem. my phone was off load the other night and went flat, next morning when I woke up and turned on, it wouldnrt to connect to internet after hours and hours of phone calls, iprimus and many resets winsock, ethernet and modem reset cable tests they tell me that the problem is in my laptop...

    So I rang toshiba... and they got forced to go in device drivers, cards, and then network and disable, actually uninstall the wireless drivers and then reinstall... and it worked... Finally... (forgot to add with the confusion iprimus someone had reset my passowrd and I had to configure to the laptop...)

    Anyway, after all of these calls, I did a full restore of the computer laptop, all deleted and reinstalled everything and then reinstall the modem. This time in the configuration of the modem, he told me the wireless network adapter was unplugged and let me only implemented via ethernet...

    now earlier today, I had the internet... but he dropped randomly... pages Web will go slow, sometimes it will reconnect, sometimes he used. now I thougbht could try and uninstall and reinstall the modem again, s soul mistake and this time, can not get the wireless at all.

    Ive google to see if others have had this problem... and seeing what others has written, I went into my battery settings and checked the WLAN will not in mode 'sleep', etc., and ive also checked everythings active. Ive no idea what do, or iprimus and Toshiba will give me answers, both companies are just to blame each other lol
    so I have
    It doesn't seem to be my laptop, as all the lights are on modem... and iprimus keep telling me its not record not not with them (disconnects) so my wireless. Although every time my laptop has left internet, so would my iphone of bfs were testing us and so did my other laptop which is partially drunk but couldn't normally always connect to the net... so as to tell me it is a problem of modem... Ive no idea what to do... and can not keep it via ethernet on the bench in the new House ive, as with 2 children less than 3 years moved in, is asking for trouble...

    That s the best way to get rid of a client who has a problem, I know that those people who don't say, this is not my problem it problem computer laptop s ;)
    I think that the guys running out of ideas.

    However, first try an update of the WLan driver;
    NEST WLan driver can be downloaded here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    If new BIOS BIOS update would be available.
    You should also check the advanced settings of the wireless network card.
    To do this, go to Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab WLan card.

    Here you can choose some settings that would improve performance

    Thank you

    Hello

    Have you tried to update the display driver? Maybe you have an older version that is not fully compatible with Windows 7. Just check the Web from Toshiba site to get the latest version:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Normally for mode full screen in games you choose the native screen resolution of your screen there.
    Check this box!

  • Satellite Pro A200 series - CD/DVD-rw does not work

    I've had the laptop for a few months and it's great but now I try to add documents and music on CD or DVD and it will not write. The machine can play DVD +/-R/RW and CD.

    I have tried both DVD + RW is simply not found and the CD - RW try to write, but then the operation cannot have place towards the end of the process it says it cannot be completed.

    Any advice?
    Drives running on my desktop drives are very good.

    Hi Rebecca

    In most cases, these CD/DVD burning issues are related to mediums is not compatible.
    You should know that not all of the CDs or DVDs of different manufacturers are compatible and supported
    I would recommend so test different CD and DVD.

    What burning software do you use?
    I use the program Nero Burning Rom. It of great and supports many useful features. This software tested the CD/DVD drive and controls and sets the best burning speed.
    Sometimes it s useful to run these tests to ensure the best combustion parameters.

    But you question might be linked to the failure of hardware too.
    Sometimes the reader cannot process a CD or a DVD because the lens can not calibrate correctly. In this case, the disk must be replaced :(

    So finally I recommend that you check the different CD & DVD, and if the problem persists, contact the ASP in your country for a control.

    Bye and good luck

  • Satellite P25-S520 - DVD player does not work properly

    Difficulty of DVD player or buy the external drive

    My DVD player does not work properly, in fact it can never work properly. Recently, I tried to back up my PC on a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize that the DVD was present. Then I tried to write a text file on a DVD and was a failure. DVD + R and DVD-R media were found to be (Maxwell 16 X).

    I could have probably lived with this however, I received a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my laptop nearby and it was recognized.

    An attempt to update the driver has also fails.

    I was able to copy a CD of music last night so that at least works properly.

    Does anyone know how can I fix? The important part is to be able to load my new program.

    Research on some forums I found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive can't be fixed, I'm not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately, where I live there is no brick and mortar stores selling external drives and I prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can someone suggest an external USB drive that will read and write CD and DVD and is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?

    Thanks for any help,

    Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.

    However, you won't be able to boot from CD (run recovery for example) If you are using an external drive.

    So, your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and request a quote.

  • On Qosmio G20 DVD player does not work

    On my laptop dvd player does not work perfectly.
    I can watch DVDs and CDs, but I can't burn CDs or DVDs at all.

    This laptop is a former view model and think that when I bought the store I bought it since deleted most of the information

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hello

    There are two possible reasons why you are not able to copy anything to the CD or DVD.

    First, it may be possible that the drives used are not entirely compatible.
    In such cases, it s always advisable to test different CD and DVD from different manufacturers.

    Secondly, the issue could be related to a defective laser lens; in many cases, this can happen because of a physical constraint. If the laser lens can not calibrate in a good position, then the player will not be able to handle the inserted discs.
    This could be the worst case, because this issue is not repairable. Just a STRANGE replacement could help.

  • Satellite P200 - Product Recovery Disk 2/2 does not work

    Hello

    because my laptop (Satellite P200 - I bought in December 2007) does not work more properly - and when, after a lot of cleaning it still wasn't working properly - I decided to start from the beginning and restore the operating system with 2 product recovery cd / dvd.

    Recovery disk 1/2 worked well - Windows Vista Home Premium product is loaded again on my computer.

    But what abot * Disck2/2 product recovery? *
    At one point, the recovery program calls for a 'supplement' but when I put in the product recovery disc 2/2 at this time, that the program does not recognize the disc. During the rest of the recovery program the program didn't ask for Product Recovery Disk 2/2, so the content of this CD-ROM/dvd now is not loaded on my laptop.

    Someone had this problem too?
    What do you have on this?
    Is this a problem for not loading the content of the product recovery disc 2/2 (I can go without it?)?

    Thanks in advance for any response!

    Hello

    > Products 1/2 worked well - Windows Vista Home Premium recovery disc is loaded again on my computer.

    I put t know which modules the tool called for, but AFAIK the Toshiba image contains the operating system Vista, Toshiba drivers and additional software.
    So if you've recovered the laptop using the recovery disk Toshiba 1 then the laptop must be set to the SAME State as at the first day of the purchase.

    PS: what files you can find on the second disk?

    I would also ask you to contact the manufacturer of your computer to check the updates of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE
