Satellite L655-173: reader of CD/DVDs even if the disk is inside

Hello, my laptop is Toshiba Satellite L655-173
My DVD player does not work.
When I put a CD or DVD in the drive indicates that the drive is empty.

Please help me, I need to update driver or buy a new drive.

Hello

Don t think that the driver should be updated. The pilot part of the Windows system so its certainly not a driver problem

Have you tried using different disks from different manufacturers?
Do this!

Also try to clean the laser lens with a cotton ball and alcohol tip.
Sometimes, the lens is dirty and does not read discs properly.

  • HP DVD Writer does not read or write DVD, but only the CD

    My HP DVD 1135t burner does not read or write DVD but only the CD. What is the problem? Please help me.

    CD/DVD players use different lasers for reading/writing DVD from the CD.  All indications would point to your laser DVD as having failed.  You could try to remove your drive and install it in another computer to see if the problem follows your player or your computer, but my bet is that the drive must be replaced.

  • Satellite A50 543 reads CDs and DVDs sporadically

    I have a problem with my DVD-ROM in my laptop. It only reads CD and DVD sporadically. But most of the time that I dwell in a DVD and it try the bed. But after a few seconds it stops and the DVD - ROM led lights constantly.

    My question is, can I get a new DVD-ROM? Or I have to send it back to Toshiba?

    Sorry, my English is not the best ;)

    Hello

    For me, this looks like a disk failure. After repeatedly the lens can not calibrate properly and so sometimes s not possible to read, burn with different media.
    You should know that internal portable players using different parameters like master/slave or c - salt. These parameters is not editable as on drives for desktop PC.
    Therefore, it is very important that you will use and bye a compatible.

    If you want to know which drive will work on your laptop, so I recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for details.

  • Satellite A210 - 1 4 - using Recovery DVD after replacing the hard drive

    Will be my Toshiba Recovery Disc I received with my Word still PC although the hard drive is different? How will I know?

    You can use the Toshiba Recovery disk, even if the HARD drive has been replaced.

  • Re: Satellite C660-1F1 won't turn on even with the AC adapter is plugged

    Hello

    I need help.
    I have a portable c660-1F1. It will come with the charger plugged.
    Trying to hook up without the battery and it will not turn on. I don't know what the problem is.

    I took the battery and took out the charger and you press the button power for 30 seconds and nothing.

    Did a CMOS reset and nothing.
    Took one on the memory and replaced it, but nothing.

    I don't know what the problem is. I even took the internal battery and see if that makes a difference.
    Nothing happened. Still won't turn.
    I think it may be the internal fuse if there is?
    Or if could be the port if the laptop? The charger works fine.

    The battery life is very good and I think I'm out of options and I'm afraid that it might be the motherboard and if yes, then I guess I can replace the card mother, but don't know if it works.

    Can someone help me?

    > The battery is fine and I think I'm out of options and I'm afraid that it might be the motherboard and if yes, then I guess I can replace the card mother, but don't know if it works.

    It looks like the motherboard.
    It would be the worst case, because the new motherboard is really expensive: about 300

    Do you think that its worth a try? I have not... in that case I would ask a technician to check the hardware.

    What would you do if you buy a mobo and finally you will discover that it is not question of mobo?

    Hello

    For a CD/DVD player, you need a special driver. It s a part of the operating system.
    Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager correctly or you have yellow exclamation points?

    Try to remove the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager. Choose the drive > right click > uninstall. After that, restart the laptop.

    If it doesn't work you should try to remove the upper and lower filters. Follow this workaround solution Microsoft how to proceed:

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M: regular crashes, sometimes even before the BIOS...

    Hello

    A month ago I bought a Satellite A660 - 11 M.
    I set up a dual-boot windows 7 / ubuntu 10.04 and I have lived several times a complete freeze of the system under the two BONES. In addition, after a freeze of the laptop is really difficult to restart: it freezes usually several times in a row, and most of the time there is no display at all (I don't even see lines of BIOS, or the toshiba logo).

    I read several threads with the same diagnosis, and it seems to be likely to be from the power adapter.
    Is there a way to be sure that it comes from him, and if so what can I do about it? If I send my computer in warranty, what are the chances that this problem is solved?

    Thank you for your response.
    Best,

    pico770

    On this path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here and what can be the reason of such behaviour of the laptop. What you need is verification by computer diagnosis and appropriate. This can only be done by the service.
    >... What are the chances that this problem is solved?
    Before your laptop will be sent in return it must be tested and if everything is OK you will get it again.
    Some default material, the part will be exchanged, portable will be tested again so that this problem needs to be solved.

  • Satellite L650-BT2N23: reading Blu - ray as part of the Intel HD graphics card

    I'm considering the purchase of the Satellite L650-BT2N23 with Blu - ray player, but it does not come with a discreet graphics card.

    My only option is the integrated graphics card Intel HD, and I fear that Blu - ray playback can suffer.

    Can someone give an opinion on this?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    Please read some information on the page of Intel on the Intel HD graphics chip.
    The chip is called HD because it is able to process HD video which means it should eb strong enough to work with the blu - ray!

    So in your case I wouldn't be afraid. The graphics chip is OK for video content high definition!

  • Satellite Pro P200 - 1EE: Question about two partitions on the disk with Vista

    Hello

    I've had my laptop for 2 months now and when I click on computer to watch my hard drive there are two; 1 called vista (: c) and other data (: E).
    Why is it two hard disks?
    And called Vista one 21.5 GB free and the other has 71.2 GB free.
    So if we get full my laptop will automatically use it?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    According to my experience, the Vista operating system to the second partition for data backup. It s necessary and important if you want to restore or repair the Windows operating system. This is a new feature in Vista!

    > So if you get full my laptop will automatically use it?
    No, it will automatically switch to the other partition if the first partition is full.
    You must point to the second partition if you want to store data on this second partition.

  • Samsung laptop (series 7 times) has improved to a 1 TB of HDD to a SATA Samsung 256 GB SSD. Even with the disk msft key, windows is now "infringement"? Help!

    I upgraded my Samsung series 7 times from the original 1 TB of HDD to a SATA Samsung 256 GB SSD.  I bought this computer refurbished shop ebay with lots of positive comments.  I reinstalled windows 7 Ultimate edition (same computer version came with) and a utility to find the disk key and the installation seem to work very well.  A few weeks later, I started getting messages that my copy of windows is fake - not true.

    Is it a simple case of Microsoft without realizing there are HARD drive, I installed was installed on the same computer or is there something more sinister is happening with the seller or the original owner of the laptop?
    It seemed there was a solution to the problem of one or two members of the forum but the link to download the fix does not work, and I'm not sure it will work for my computer/drive specific anyway.  I have to be very careful with this computer that I use for my small business and I can't afford to speculate and the shot of the thing to the top.  Any advice for a not-very-tech-savvy user would be greatly appreciated!

  • Satellite L655 - CD/DVD TS-L633C burning questions

    Hi all

    I have a portable Satellite L655, I bought a few months ago. The problem I face is now with my DVD player. When I try to burn a DVD using Nero Vision or any other burning software, even if he says he burned and successfully completed the rest blank disc! I've never seen such a thing in my 15 years of being a user. I am completely dumbfounded as to why the disc remains blank, even when I insert it into my PS3 console. A one or 2 times I can physically see that the disc has been burned, but when I reinsert him into the player he eirther fails to read in its entirety or it says that the disk is empty. I've lost far more than 10 DVDs, but the problem seems to persist. This only happens when burning a DVD and above all a movie. I can still burn Audio or data on a CD. I searched the internet for solutions, and it seems that a lot of people is facing the same question. Apparently, there is a firmware update, but I'm not able to find his location or the correct for my optical drive

    I really hope someone can shed some light on what I have more hair out of my head. Help, please?

    Hello

    What are the brands of disks that you have and you have tried different discs?

    I have good experiences with high-quality Verbatim DVDs and TDK and I always use DVD-R discs DVD + R instead. I would recommend therefore to test these DVD-R discs before contacting a service provider allowed.

    Not all disks work perfectly with all readers ;)

  • Re: Satellite L655 - very strange problem at startup

    Hello

    A problem with my Toshiba Satellite L655 of weirdo. Basically I even don't know how to explain it exactly.
    I write what actually happens...
    Almost any time when I turn on my computer by pressing the turning button as the computer begins to run and download, but all of a sudden after 7-8 seconds it crashes.
    I mean the computer is down and off. In addition, once he arrives there is little "BOOM" strange noise coming from the inside of the laptop.
    I don't know if the power supply (power cable) is related because it comes up with the cable connected and without.

    My laptop running Windows 7.
    I'm afraid that it didn't get injured because too many times, it crashes. I can't work with him:.
    I need this computer to be very good for my studies.
    I want to mention that I have keep the computer very well and performs updates.

    Please if you have any suggestions what can I do...

    Hello

    You know that on this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Please test as follows:
    -start the laptop computer and enter the BIOS settings, leave it for a while and watch carefully what will happen
    -If nothing happens by default the BIOS settings and restart the notebook
    -after reboot, press F8 and try to start Notepad in safe mode.
