Satellite M30X-165 detected no CD and DVD

Hello

Thank you

Hello Sebastian

Do you have any malfunction messages of errors as a calibration error or something like that?
This problem only occurs with burning or also with reading media?

  • Satellite M30x-165: OpenGL in the graphics driver is old

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M30x-165.
    I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the page Web of Toshiba.

    When I check the version of the OpenGl driver it says that the version is 1.5.4454. Recently, I heard that this version is very old and may cause some problems with certain programs.

    The computer does not install the downloaded driver directly from ATI Web page.

    How can I update the version of OpenGL?

    Thank you well in advance.

    Hello

    The M30X isn't the new laptop series and therefore the graphic driver seems to be not updated to the latest state
    Graphics drivers that are released in the Toshiba page are designed especially for Toshiba laptops and there is a big difference between the Toshiba and the drivers of the ATI page. So it's not easy to install the ATI drivers on laptops OS.

    But there is one thing; first of all, you can unzip the package and then you could try to update the driver through Device Manager. Here, you point to the folder decompressed driver to update the graphics driver.

    This allows you to install non-Toshiba divers would help the Toshiba notebook.

    But note; These drivers are not certified for the use of the laptop and so you can ONLY use and YOUR OWN RISK.

  • Satellite M30X-165: Mat * a UJ - 831 S is not read and write any DVD

    Hello

    the next problem is sticky on the laptop Satellite M30X 165 with the burner Mat * a UJ - 831 S: it can read and write CDs, but is not able to write them to DVD or even read some of the ones I've burned and also read in the same drive. Even at the start of the DVD, it does not start from the recovery DVD, the player starts and slows down very quickly.
    Without doubt, it must be put at the service of repair or someone has other suggestions?

    Could you please tell me how long the repair takes (I know what it takes to install the desktop temporarily used).

    Thank you

    Using burning software, it detects the DVD, but invite you to an "error of calibration power (037303).

    Hello

    If you cannot use recovery media, I guess that the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  • Satellite M30X-165: new HARD drive does not work

    Hi, I want to replace the old hard drive, HITACHI 80 GB in my Satellite M30X 165. I bought SEAGATE Momentus 5400.3 120GB but it seems that it may not be recognized by the BIOS. Anyone know what to do or what types of discs can be used in this notebook? Thanks for help.

    Hello

    Sometimes a bios update has solved many issues about installing new hardware.

    BUT Please note: the Bios has a limitation of size of HARD drive support. Not all sizes are supported. I guess that the 120 GB are too big and therefore you can not use it!

    You must switch to a smaller size. Check with a 80 or 100 GB HARD drive

    See you soon

  • Satellite M30X - 165 Win XP Pro SP2 sound does not work

    Hello
    on my Satellite M30X 165 I simply get no sound output, if I look in Device Manager I see installed Realtek AC97 audio drivers but if I look at the Menu "Sounds and Audio devices" I see "No. Audio Device" in Control Panel, I use the Realtek drivers you can get from the Toshiba Homepage , the file is called sound-sm30-xp - 51005620.zip everyone has an idea? It's a freshly installed system not exceeding 4 Application installed at all (not even the bureau installed yet)

    If it's any help I have 2 unknown devices "PCI Flash Memory" and I don't know what it could be for I have no pcmcia cards connected and nothing more except Lan and mouse / keyboard.

    Noise appears on the recovery image installed Toshiba?

    If Yes, I assume that you have installed the operating system from the Microsoft CD and Toshiba drivers and utilities in the wrong order or some drivers are missing.

    But maybe the his doesn t appear due to the installation of SP2.
    I read in the Sp2 installation documentation (found on the Toshiba driver page) that maybe the Yamaha AC - XG driver sound 6.13.10.2152 must be installed.

    Anyway, please check this possibility.

  • Satellite M30x-165 - screen is black

    Dear all,

    Unfortunately, my screen is black.

    Whenever I start my laptop / notebook my screen (display / monitor) is black.

    I can't use my laptop because I don't see anything. The system works.

    Why does this happen?
    What can I do against it?

    I'd appreciate any help.

    Best regards
    JJ

    Hi JJ,

    A friend of me had the same problem on his Satellite M30x too. He didn t see an image on the monitor internal but external monitor works properly.
    Also, do you have plugged an external monitor to the laptop? You see an image on the external monitor?

    However, after testing an external monitor that works, he replaced the internal screen FL inverter and the laptop working again properly. :)

    If t, you can see an image on the external monitor too, it seems to be a hardware problem, maybe the card mother or something else.
    You can access the BIOS?

  • Satellite A100-788 cannot read CD and DVD RW

    Hello
    I just bought a Satellite A100-788 and can not read the CD and DVD RW (DVD I tried is a Sony) with the CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S.

    I have downloaded the driver (v 5.0.2.5) on the Toshiba site, and tried to install it but it did not work (result is ok, but it's the previous version when I look at the properties: Microsoft 5.1.2535.0, 07/01/2001). Installation of this driver will fix my problem, or, as I read on the forums, I'm going to nead to install a new firmware version?

    Anyone know what to do exactly?
    Thank you
    Stéphane

    Have you tested different brands of CD and DVD?
    As you may know the discs don't support all types of CD or DVD.
    In my manual, I found a hint of support of the CD and the DVD.
    This media must be tested and are compatible.

  • Satellite M30X-165 - broken HDD, need to be replaced

    Hello

    2 years and a few months after I bought the M30X 165, the hard drive has some corruptions (it's a Hitachi drive) and the tool manufacturer for consistency checking shows some errors. Hitachi offers a three-year guarantee for these hard drives (Travelstar).

    1 but I guess that it is not possible to get the replaced disk (because I bought it with the Toshiba system). Fix?
    2. what would be a good replacement for the reader? [Http://westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=346] is a?

    > 1. But I guess that it is not possible to get the replaced disk (because I bought it with the Toshiba system). Fix?
    To my knowledge the laptop is covered by the warranty for a year. If you register on the page of Toshiba notebook you could get an extra year warranty (2 years total).
    If pieces of hardware will die after the warranty expires, you pay for the replacement.

    > 2. What would be a good replacement for the reader?
    The laptop supports the IDE if you buy and IDE HDD.
    In addition, you must make sure that the size of the HARD drive is supported by the BIOS.
    In my opinion the 250 GB not are just too. Try a 120 GB. I think that it should be compatible.

    Best regards

    I've updated Toshiba Satellite A200-1AE from Vista Home to Vista Enterprise, but now I can't find TOSHIBA Disc Creator and DVD MovieFactory for TOSHIBA software.

    No idea how to get this software?

    Thanks, Bojan

  • Satellite A60 can't read CDs and DVDs serious

    I have a problem with my carpet * a UJ 820: it reads not burnt, CD or DVD, one real cd/dvd. I cleaned the lens with no improvement.

    Help me please!

    You are able to use the STRANGE for CD and DVD burning? Have you tested with different data, burned onto CD/DVD or you have this problem with specific data such as movies or music?

  • Satellite A60 no longer burn CDs and DVDs

    Hey, somebody help me.
    My A60 laptop no longer burned CDs and DVDs.
    There do not seem to read empty discs.
    Some regular she reads, but will not start and some, it will not
    not even start.

    Hello

    Sounds like a damaged disk device.
    Usual that these problems occur if the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.
    In my opinion it has not much to do. I don't think that the replacement of the drive will solve such a problem.
    As the authorized service partner Toshiba for a reader compatible and taken in charge.

  • Satellite M30X: reader will not read the DVD-R data but plays movies in DVD-R and CD

    I have a Toshiba M30X with combi DVD/CDRW drive.
    I have accumulated 12 GB of digital photo I wanted to erase but do not want the number of CDs that can be the so I bought an external DVD LITEON EZ - DUB and made 3 DVD - R burner of plenty of JPEG.
    However, when I put the DVD in the drive of Toshiba combi, it clicks for a moment or two, but when I click on the combi drive in my computer, the folder is empty and it is said there are 0 bytes.
    CD of still works, audio and data, DVD movies fine, reading DVD-R on my Pioneer DVD recorder (for TV - looks like a video/nothing to do with PC) plays very well, but he won't recognise DVD - r with data (JPEG or MP3) on them.

    It makes no difference what software was used (Nero 6.6) and LITEON EZDUB and it's okay if the discs are completed, a single session, multi session or what - it will not play any of them.
    However, these discs work perfectly in my old office to 7 years with a Sony DVD/CDRW combination of 4 years.
    I'm puzzled.
    I don't particularly want to reinstall windows, in the case where it does not recognize the recovery DVDs and I remember Microsoft a Note having activated by phone with a code that is different every time you ask him to generate a.
    It's a bit of pain that I wanted to make my pictures with me in my laptop bag.
    I won't be carting around an external DVD burner just to read the DVD.
    I've updated the firmware for SD - R 2512.
    He had no other effect freeze on a black screen on restart - I had to hold down the switch 15 minutes in this State.
    The laptop is 1 year and 26 days if that counts for anything.

    Anyone have any ideas? Or can I just put up with him.

    Hello

    Well, I can only make suggestions.
    You are able to place files many MP3 and Jpeg on DVD.
    This is perhaps a reason why Explorer cannot handle the DVD.

    Try to burn the DVD with photo JEPG, but do not have the full DVD with these files.
    You must leave a free space on the media. Maybe it helps.

    But it's very strange for me and it's just a suggestion. I've never tired it and don't know if it helps.
    I had a similar problem on my laptop but I solved using compatible media. Some readers prefer different media for different types of files.

  • Satellite M30X-165 only boot from a hard drive possible

    Today, I tried to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 but no media like CD/DVD bootable and works of disk removable (USB key).

    Notepad only boots from hard drive.
    With F12 I have a start menu, but no matter what I select that does not work and Windows XP boots from the hard drive. Later, I changed the boot sequence in the bios, but it does not work.

    Finally, I did a bios update 1.60 zu 2.00 but I still have the problem.
    How can I boot from DVD or USB stick?

    Try please enter the BIOS and set it to default settings. After doing this, try again please.
    Optical disc drive recognized and listed correctly in the BIOS settings?
    It works when you use it in Windows?

    Also try another thing. Put the bootable disc in ODD and shut down your laptop. Reboot and press the C key several times. If I m remembering well this should force ODD as first bootabe.

  • How to install Win 7 on a Satellite M30X-165 (S)

    The laptop has a Pentium clocked at 1.6 GHz and 1 GB of RAM which I would upgrade to 2 GB. I want to change the OS from Win XP to Win 7. I know that Toshiba do not support the software and drivers for Win 7:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=235849𹥉

    But when I remove the hard drive, install Windows Vista and later upgrade to Windows 7 If this could be a way to use Vista drivers and Toshiba Software, especially software for function keys. I think that the third-party software should come through Win 7 update.

    Some devices are:
    Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
    Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
    ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series graphics card
    ENE CB710 Cardbus Controller
    Realtek AC97 Audio
    TOSHIBA Software Modem (not important)

    Some software are:
    TOSHIBA ConfigFree
    Alps Pointing-device Driver
    ATI Desktop component
    TOSHIBA utilities

    Long ago, I had Satellite M70 that was machine WXP too. It was not supported for Win7 but I installed it to see how it will work. My problem was to find the display driver, but I found somewhere on the net and the machine was OK. I could use it but without specific Toshiba and utility tools.

    Unfortunately on this forum we do have enough information about these updates on old machines. I can only say: install it, test it and post comments.
