• Re: Satellite L300 - Media palyer can not read the DVD

  Can anyone help?

  Have just implemented a L300 and everything was going well until I decided to try a prerecorded DVD. All I get is a message that reads... Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible decoder is not installed on your computer. I do have it connected to the internet if that makes a difference.

  Can someone explain what it means all and what to do. All new at this game!

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that you need to install a pack of codecs for Windows media player play DVD. I have good experiences with K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. Use Google to find, it contains the essential codecs for Windows Media Player.

  But let me give you a piece of advice: try to play DVDs with another room. I always use the VLC media player because it can play audio and video files more. In addition he s freeware and in my opinion more quickly as media player.
  Check it!

  I press Fn + F5 keys according to the directives and the drop-down list display Fn shows the symbol of the laptop before retreating off the screen. But still the DVD returns the same message and will not play. I find myself with Windows Media Player to play the DVD.

• Re: Satellite C660-125 DVD player can't read DVD

  Hi guys

  I have a C660-125 and its developed a problem with the DVD player. It can read CDs and burn fine CD, but it won't read or burn DVDs at all.

  I used a laser cleaner, I also googled firmware but can't find anything for her.

  Any ideas what is wrong with it?

  The model is TS-L633

  > I used a laser cleaner, I also googled firmware but can't find anything for her.

  I cleaned my alcohol BIZARRE or cotton tip laser lens and it worked like a charm. In your case worth a try too.

  In addition if an ODD firmware would be available, then you should find it on the European driver Toshiba page.
  I checked, but did not find a firmware for TS-L633 means that this firmware update is not necessary.

  But I found this Toshiba document:
  _ODD firmware update to solve problems with the Toshiba creator_ recovery CD
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9C02RP0000R01.htm

  But beware: the document contains files different firmware for TS-L633 on different sides. If your ODD is not on the list, don t try update firmware for your ODD would harm to the use of the firmware is not compatible!

• Satellite U300 - DVD player can't read DVD

  I got my U300 for about a year and a half, and now the DVD player has stopped working properly.

  I can play DVDs without problem, but I am unable to read CDs or disks of software. When I double click on DVD - RW on my computer, a message appears telling me to insert a disk in drive D, when it is already there!

  Anyone know what is the problem and how can I solve this problem? Any help is very appreciated! Thank you!

  Hello

  You can try the steps to follow

  -Try to remove upper and lower filters. If you n t know how, read this Microsoft KB article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

  -Remove the drive from Device Manager CD/DVD, and then restart the laptop. After the reboot of the CD/DVD drive will be recognized again. Maybe it works.

  -Perhaps there is dust on the lens. You should try to clean the lens of the CD/DVD drive.

  In the worst cases, the CD/DVD drive must be replaced :(

  Good bye
