• Satellite P200 - HD-DVD Player Toshiba can not read HD-DVD

  Hello.

  I have a problem with my Satellite P200-1: can not read HD DVD. There is a message that says that the video may not be in an external device.

  The problem is the same if I try on the screen of the laptop or on the TV (Sony Bravia Full HD) with HDMI. I have the latest driver and software for vista sp1 installed...

  Some have an idea?
  Sorry to talk so badly...

  I think I know what's wrong;

  Check this Toshiba TB document;

  [HD DVD title does not play ("unable to output the video to an external device"): http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1664 788xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 41741513 & stateId = 0% 200% 20 41739828]

  To resolve this problem, you will need to update the Audio driver Realtek for Windows Vista.

• Tecra A8 DVD don't read/write DVD-R 1-16 x.

  Using Sonic Record DLA, Tecra A8 DVD don't read/write DVD-R 1-16 x. Ok work on DVD - R 1-8 x and CD DVD - R 1-16 x has tested successfully on the two recent Toshiba Satellite Pro and HP Office. Have updated the Bios, software DVD-RAM and Sonic DLA.

  Hey,.

  What exactly do you mean? This means that you can t burn DVD-r with 16 x speed?
  In this case, you should check the specifications of your CD/DVD drive. Not all models support this speed of combustion. In addition, I recommend using 8 x only, he speed will give you a better quality of the burned data/average.

  You must also use different types of media. I believe that your other computers have different drives in order to test different mediums. I have a good experience with Verbatim DVD-R.

• Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

  I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

  Hi Bill,

  To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

  As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Satellite M70-165: unit of CD/DVD can't read data DVDs - "not possible access to D:.

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite M70-165 equipped of a DVD unit MAST * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S (5.1.2535.0 driver version).
  After years of 1 and a half with no problems, a few days ago, I restore the operating system (Windows XP Home) through the Toshiba restart DVD.

  Since then, the CD/DVD unit can read DVD audio, CD, or movies, but when I open a DVD (DVD software) data it is said that "it is not possible to access to the D:\." and something like "does not correct" (I use an Italian version of Win XP so I have to
  translate the messages in English).

  All drivrs are regularly installed and there should, in theory, work very well.

  I am a user of entry level, and I don't really know what to do. I attended every single forum on the issue for the past few days, but nobody does
  could help me.

  I would be extremely grateful if someone could help.

  Thanks in advance!

• Satellite 5200 903: can't read my DVD data burning

  Hallo,

  I have a problem with my DVD/CD-ROM. He can no longer read my DVD of data (backups of my hard drives) that I burned with the same. Also it can read the DVD movie only after I put the DVD in and out a couple of times. He has no problem with the CD.

  Don't you think it's a software or a hardware problem.

  Thank you
  Matthias

  Hi Matthias,

  This sounbds as a problem of possible material for me. As you know that the laser must be re-phased to manage the DVDS and allowed tolerances are much smaller. So your device can handle CD correvtly but fights with DVDs.

  Have you tried cleaning the lens on your DVD-ROM, this can improve the situation for you.

  Good luck

• Satellite A60: Can play self-created DVDs

  All,

  I have a Satellite A60 with UJDA760 CDRW/DVD drive.
  The drive will not read the DVD (DVD + are not all, DVD - R, sometimes (if the drive is cold (?))).

  This could be a firmware issue? And if yes, does anyone know, where I can find an update for this drive? (I tried the firmware pack - na .zip from the web site of Toshiba, but an update to the reader is not available)

  The drive reads CDs without problem.

  Thanks for your comments!
  Wutz

  Hi Bruno

  You can update the firmaware but sometimes it doesn t solve disk problems.
  For most of these issues occurs because the player doesn't supports different types of DVD or / and CD media.
  Hard drives don't support all DVD. The best way is to test different media from different manufacturers.
  Sometimes, the same media from the same manufacturer doesn t work on the disc. Yes, it seems very strange but it s true.
  Check if you can use other DVDs.

• Satellite L500D - can't get optical to work reliably drive

  HI again users Toshiba.

  Since I got my Satellite L500D I had a problem with TSST corpCD/DVGW TS - L633C ODD. I run 3 OS (Tri-Boot) and all have the same number, so, even though I have updated the firmware to version TO02, I can't get this drive to work reliably. From time to time it will "play" DVD / CD, but not more often.

  Basically, when I put a DVD or CD, the drive makes a sound of "hunting" and nothing else happens.

  I've been on several tracks of high-low registry settings, operating system specific upgrade and tonight an update of the firmware.

  Because etiquette programs that I use on this system I can't abandon this unit some 'tech boutique', even if there was a local.

  I am technician qualified in the field of electronics and electric, but have not been exposed to the functioning of such a DVD player so advice here before that I put on the classware magnifying and opt for a quick glance.

  My problem, what are looking for?

  Suggestions anyone?

  Hello

  What Satellite L500D you exactly (L500D-xxx)?
  If you have downloaded TO02 Toshiba support and download page?

  To be honest I n don't know what can be the problem, but you can remove the existing HARD drive, put the other HARD disk, install OS using the Toshiba recovery image (I hope that you created the recovery DVDs) and test the functionality of the BIZARRE with own OS pre-installed (factory State).

  If the problem persists perhaps you should contact Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help. They can check ODD and replace if necessary.

• Carpet * a UJ-830 cannot read/write DVDs on Equium L10

  Hi, I have a laptop Equium L10. My DVD RAM mast * a UJ 830 cannot read/write to DVD discs. But it can read and write CDs.
  I have installed the latest driver but no luck. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

  This problem appears since day one?

  I ask because it looks like a hardware malfunction, to me it seems that the lens can not calibrate properly and that's why the drive can read and write DVDs.
  What burning software do you use?
  For the most part a burning like Nero program provides an error message if the burning process failed

• CD DVD player: can not read data DVD discs that burned same machine

  Laptop with Windows Vista cannot read data DVD discs that burned same machine.  The discs work on another computer.  My laptop will read CD disks, he did, and it will play DVD movies. What's wrong?

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD &)
  Burn DVDs and CDs and read DVDs). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 parts to no function
  while others are doing so correctly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner
  could help.

  Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always
  issue.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the outside edge
  tolerances of the disks. They may be delivered, but it is usually cheaper to replace
  the reader.

  Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
  http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

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

  This troubleshooting might not help if there are problems of alignment and wear it
  is worth it.

  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 check the cables
  both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean the
  power and data of the contacts with a pencil eraser.

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

• Dell XPS 600 read/write DVD problem

  My system is a Dell XPS 600 and has a DVD/ROM drive & a DVD RW. The drive works fine, but the DVD RW will not read/write or recognize a disc is inserted. The original drive failed when running normally with WIN XP. I replaced the drive (w/Lite-on SOHW 1633 s), responsible for all the latest drivers, flashed the firmware of the disc and nForce4, changed discs and cables, from Win XP to WIN 64 bit with the same results. The drive won't work, except when I insert the boot disk WIN XP drivers he will read and open the files as it should. Can you help me?

  Osprey4,

  I think you're right. The new drive is the problem, and I'm going to get another to confirm.

  I changed discs and the RW still does not work.

  Thanks for your help.
