Satellite M40: Mast * publishes a DVD Ram UJ - 831S

model: Satellite M40
Jon
I had a problem reading dvd + rw (s) with this record, he had no problem with engraving (x 4), but it reads only 2 x. And once she destoyed a rw (there was more dark spots (like burned) on the media after, maybe the middle was very cold or what?).
my current firmware is n/a (don't know how he know) and the question:
1. where can I find the latest firmware? and is it useful?

2. I recently noticed the becklight on screen is worse in the two lower corners (lower whole sections begins to be odd), is this normal by others or what?

Hi Jon

I'll be honest to you. Satellite M40 is fairly new. Why you n t contact your local dealer or service partner and clarify these issues. The warranty is still valid, and perhaps the reader will be replaced. Here on the forum, you can wait for days for suggestions that will help you a lot.

One of my friends has the same unit about a year now and it works very well. I liked laptop and I burn DVDs of film sometimes to his unit. So far, there is no problem with him.

Good luck and thank you to a return if there is a serious hardware problem.

    Hello Daoude

    In my opinion, you have a bad driver. You can find the most recent version of the driver from the official website of Toshiba. The version of the driver for windows xp is 3.1.0.0 (last updated 02/03/05).

  • Satellite M40-112: writing of DVDs takes long

    Hello, my friends, I have a Satellite M40-112 who bought 4 months ago. Now I have problems with my DVD-Ram, the writing of 4xDVD-RW, or 4xDVD-R of a volume of 4.3 G takes normally more than forty-five minutes, sometimes an hour. The transfer of data on DVD - RW or DVD-R the same volume also takes similar time. During this time, the CPU rate amounts to 100% occupancy when write or read DVD-RW/r. I tried the same jobs on my friends series Satellite L20, the average CPU occupancy rate was normally only 10 to 20%. Some experts could give me your ideas or suggestions treasurous? Thanks in advance.

    Hi my friend

    It's very strange. One of my friends has the same unit, we created a few DVD movies and burning procedure is much faster. I put t know what burning software you use, but please check if called simulation is selected. If so disable it.

  • Satellite A80-129: Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-830 s cannot burn DVDs

    MODEL: SA80-129
    DVD RAM TYPE MAST * A DVD-RAM UJ-830 S
    SYSTEM: WINXP
    SOFTWARE: NERO

    (1) DVDRAM CAN READ CD AND DVD EASILY, IT Burns CD WELL, BUT cannot burn DVDs, IT SHOWS: G:\ IS NOT ACCESSIBLE INCORRECT FUNCTION, UNTIL IT WORKS WELL. the blank dvd is not a problem, before I used even type a blank dvd to burn.
    (2) even allow the recoding in the properties, the properties shows the Virgin dvd 0bytes.

    all PROMTLY ANSWER would BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

    It doesn't sound good.
    I had a similar problem of combustion and the end of the story, I replaced the drive ;(
    However, try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then again to restart the operating system should recognize the device again.
    Then you could check if it able to burn the DVD s s.
    I think you should also try burning different DVD media.

    I have visited many work sites and the reader, and especially the calibration lens malfunction could be responsible for burning problems.
    This could be a worst case and in this case, the replacement is necessary.

    Hello

    How to help you if you don't mention what CD cannot be burned (original music CD, homes burned CDs, just specific producers, only some files are not readable). Give us more info on this issue.

    Check a little better, and if there is no success is perhaps the defective drive. It is well known that some CD (a cheaper) cannot be burned properly.

  • Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

    Hello

    cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
    Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

    Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

    First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
    After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

    Simple disc burning layer without problem.

    Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
    Thank you
    Luci

    Hello

    tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

    I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

    Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

  • Re: Satellite A210-12U: Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-8505 will not read discs - error Code 39

    Hello.

    I've had my A210-12U for about five months now, and recently for the past few months I had some problems with the dvd player.

    The thing is that the player will not play all discs, the drive will detect that a disc has been inserted, but it will not read. It happened for about a month but its only recently I really know whats been wrong with it.

    The drive I currently use is a CARPET * A DVD - RAM UJ-8505 ATA

    I scanned the disk for problems with the support toshiba but utility that came with something so I decided to check the drivers.

    Windows Vista gave this Message: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    I uninstalled the drivers and drivers on there and installed new ones that I downloaded here on the toshiba site.

    What I really want to know is: is this a problem with the drivers? is it a case that the operating system does not detect the hardware? or is this a situation where I should have the disk fixed on its guarantee?

    was soon Dan

    Hello

    Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:

  • Satellite M45: Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 831S burning question.

    I have a Satellite M45. I have problems with my DVD writer. I worked very well, now I'm having issues. It will read and play DVDs and CDs; However, when I try to burn it says D: / / is not accessible incorrect function.
    The machine worked before, this just started happening.
    I tried the firmware update, but it says that the target drive is not connected.

    Any help?

    Hello

    The message D: / / is not accessible occurs after the burning process or before you start to burn?
    It is possible that you have not closed the writing session.

    Hi Tony,.

    I have a rug * an optical drive installed in my SA30 and I always use DVD-R Datawrite discs. I used the high gray, yellow-top and, recently, the variants of red-top without any problem whatsoever.

    I can't comment on other formats (although I used the DVD - RW on the odd occasion) because my internal DVD burner will accept only the DVD-RAM and DVD-R formats.

    Moreover, the DVD-RAM format works well in my laptop but I found that it is not always supported by the software. Nero seems very happy with it, but the likes of DVDSHRINK don't even look.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite M40-185: DVD super multi drive does not read the CD

    I own a Toshiba Satellite M40-185. It is mounted with a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 831S.
    When I put the CD - R, which are supposed to work on this drive however it read as a CD - R [i.e. the icon changes from DVD - RAM drive in my computer to a CD - R]

    However, when you double-click the drive it says D:\ accicble not. But it works fine with DVD.
    Recently, I found that it stops between buring DVD as well. I got the replaced disk from Toshiba, but it was not to last long either.
    I wonder if his software level problem.

    I tried to update the firmware but it does not work because it's another drive for this what is mentioned on the website for drivers...

    Maybe it s only a registry error?
    I read different statements here in the forum and especially the deletion of in the upper and lower registry filters helps to address these issues.

  • Satellite P30 - DVD-RAM drive will not write DVD

    I have a Satellite P30 - 145 running XP Home Edition with a carpet * a reader of DVD-RAM UJ - 831S. I am able to read and write CDs and read DVDs, but am unable to write DVD. In 'My Computer', the drive is marked as a DVD - RAM drive, but if I insert a DVD r or DVD R, the label changes to CD drive, and I am not able to format the drive, I just inserted.
    Clues as to what is happening and what I can do about it?

    Hello

    Since when is this problem here? Is your unit pre-installed with your own operating system or with the recovery image? DVD - RAM Driver Software V3.1.0.0 is also pre-installed correctly? Burning application you are using?

    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, reboot the device and check if the drive is recognized correctly again. As far as I know that your device comes with fixed burner DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) and you should be able to create all formats.

  • Carpet * a DVD - RAM UJ-811 drive

    Laptop: Satellite A10-S703
    Carpet * a DVD - RAM UJ-811 drive supports 2 x DVD-R burning.

    The minimum speed of blank media DVD-R available on the market is 4 x.

    A warning on the cover of Imation DVD - R 4 x recordable disks says
    "Download the free firmware required to avoid damaging your Player 2 x" the given url is http://www.imation.com/products/dvd_media/dvd_firmware.html

    The links provided under Toshiba / Panasonic are not useful.

    Can someone guide me if I can burn 4 x media on this drive?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Ravi,

    If you have the DVD burner that can burn DVD-R with a speed x 2 there is no way to improve the speed of burning at 4 x speed.

    Some firmware updates of aid to enable support for new media and has increased by a few burning questions (results of optimal registration for your reader).

  • Satellite M40 - 244--> Boot from a USB

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite m40-244 with a DVD player which unfortunately is out of service.

    I would like to know if it is possible to boot from a USB key to reinstall Windows or Linux. In the BIOS there only HDD, floppy, CD-ROM, and LAN drive options.

    Does anyone know how to boot from a USB? I tried an external USB DVD drive, it does not work. I don't know if I'm doing the right way.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    As far as I know that of not possible because the M40 BIOS does not support this!
    As you mentioned in your ad; There is only one option for booting from the HARD drive, ODD, LAN and USB FDD (floppy)
