• Tecra S2 - write on DVD problems

  I have a Toshiba Tecra S2 under XP Pro SP3. He has a stack * a UJ - 831S - DVD - RW drive. I have long written files to the DVD-R and RW - simply by drag-and - drop in Windows Explorer. I've updated to SP3, a few weeks ago, and now I find that while I can read previously recorded or original DVDs and CDs without problem, I can't do anything with blank DVDs. When empty, the drive appears in my computer as a DVD RAM drive D:, but when I put in a blank DVD, it changes the description of the CD player, and when I try to access the DVD, I get the message "D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function ". As it should be for the DVD, the CD registration area is not checked in the properties of the drive.

  I don't know if the problem is related to the upgrade to SP3 that I have not used the DVD player immediately before and immediately after the upgrade, but I don't have the problem three weeks before the upgrade when the last, I used the function. I used Device Manager to confirm that the most recent driver is installed for the DVD player. If I start the software Sonic RecordNow, that I can write on a DVD without problem - it is just the ability to drag-and - drop in the Windows Explorer that has been lost.

  Any help gratefully received.

• Satellite M70-148 - power on problem after hibernation

  Hello:
  Sometimes, I have a problem I can not turn on after hibernation. The fan starts, but the computer does not start again. I can only turn off again by pressing the button for a few seconds. When I remove my power cord and press the power button, I am able to start up. I can solve this?

  I've been on the internet looking for a solution and found this description of the problem, which is exactly what I have, but unfortunately there is no solution.

  "
  I'll explain the problem in detail, right after hibernation or standby IF you press power button / stop it goes blue led fan starts, HD led lights, led battery, power adapter led (if its connected) and a cd player make it sound as if he looking for a CD, and THEN stopped fan HD led turns off, no sound from CD, leaves u with button only works / stop led on, a pretty frustrating blue

  After waiting, u eventually gave up, turn it off by prolonged pressure on the button / stop and then no matter wut u do, simply starts only even the sounds and the leds as mentioned above, nothing on the screen as if its dead! No logo, no nothing.

  Give him a time (about 15 min with battery connected, or 5 minutes or less with the battery) press the button, IT U - GO, works perfectly!

  same case with the judgment but not always as put into hibernation and sleep (but once made wake-up from standby mode!), but most of the time after the judgment, you have to wait 15 min!

  No memory connected USB flash or something else!

  I have installed winXP pro SP2 above and installed the drivers and the Microsoft HOT fixes too, but the problem remains.

  I also made recovery from the CD of restoration which follows, also not good!

  I noticed that if you disconnected the battery the appliance needs less time to wake or boot. about 5 min.

  what kills me, is that the device works perfectly and I love it! I've had this problem with her!

  So what I need to know is the following: is there anyway to weather course if it's a hardware or software problem?

  its not easy to go to service local cuz its in another city! I need to try first what it takes to fix it on my own!
  "

  Thank you for your time!

  Well, there's not much to do. You have some many possibilities. Check your installed BIOS version and compare it with the version on the Toshiba site.
  If there is a newer version so you can try to update the BIOS. But please be careful.

• Matsu * a DVD UJ - 841S cannot burn properly - Satellite M70

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite M70.
  The Dvd burner does not work. When I burn a CD for example, after a few minutes, the burn process stops with the error message. I have no problem with reading DVD and CD.

  I think that the problem is due to the old drivers (2001) or the firmware.
  I'm trying to install the new driver from the download area of Toshiba but I do not solve the problem.

  It is possible to find new Matsu firmware * a DVD UJ - 841S?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I m sure this isn't a problem of an old firmware because I assume that your burned CD/DVD reader drives correctly in the past.
  In addition, the European driver Toshiba page would provide a new firmware if the old firmware would be defective.

  I think there are two possibilities; you have not used fully compatible CD or your CD/DVD drive starts to malfunction.
  It would not be anything unusual because the s drive laser lens loses the own performance during the long period of use
  However, you should test a few other drives from different manufacturers.
  I had a good experience with discs CD - R TDKs
  Maybe you should try it.

  How did you create the partition, and you have created the partition for the use of Linux?
  The fact is that you cannot use a similar kind of partition for the Windows operating system.

  PS: Unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't support the Linux operating system and you will find all the drivers Toshiba for this OS.

  Hello

  As far as I know that the Intel SATA AHCI Controller driver has been installed on this device.
  This driver is required for SATA hard drives. The OS Setup is unable to start without this driver, but then the installation hangs.
  On this page of intel for drivers:
  http://support.Intel.com/support/chipsets/IMSM/sb/CS-021701.htm

  But the recovery procedure works with the recovery CD?
  Have you created a CD of Drivers and tools with the function that has been placed in the assistance of Toshiba?

  You should also find this driver very necessary.

  Good bye

• Satellite M70-337: cannot install the Wlan driver

  Hello!

  My Satellite M70-337 has a problem. WiFi does not work and I can't install the driver for network controller. I downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba Web site but it still does not work. If anyone knows what's going on, please let me know.

  My email: [email protected] Best Rgs.

  Hey Buddy

  Depending on the laptop that you use, you will need to choose the right WLan driver.
  Have you downloaded the WLan driver in the computer category laptop good?

  It seems that the satellite M70-337 contains the number of PSM77E and that is why you chose this series of mobile in the download form.

  Check that you have installed the wireless network card. It is important because the laptop might be bundled with various wireless network cards; for example with Intel or Atheros.

  I think that if you chose the right laptop and use the good Wlan card that everything will work out ;)

  THX

  You can do the following: go to download drivers of Toshiba Europe site and check if there is an update of firmware for this specific player. If so, I strongly recommend you apply and check if it works.

  If the didn t of the firmware update worked later you assumed that the reader is defective and must be replaced.

  The problem could be the driver lens calibration.
  Before the player will read or write to the media of the lens must be calibrated in the right position, but if the drive has been used long-term these problems appear

  Sometimes the lens cleaning helps, but especially the disk needs to be replaced

• DVD of Satellite M70 of burning low speed

  Hello world

  I bought my laptop a few months there, it's a Satellite M70 which has a stack * a UJ - 841S of speed which registration should be around 8 x, but I can't check greater than 1.2 X on DVD and 8 X on CD, it takes me 40 minutes to record a DVD, can someone help me?

  Is there an update for this?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Diogo

  The DVD writer is not the only factor that determines how fast the media must be written. I'm sure you know it depends on media itself and burning software too.

  Have you tried to use DVD media to check the burn speed? I recommend you to use well known as TDK DVD producers. I use it for a long time with different burners and until now never had no problem and the speed of combustion was always declared on DVDs.

• Satellite M70: DL - DVD are not recognized on Pioneer DVR-K16S

  My DVD player does not recognize DL media (this device is compatible DL) so I can't burn this type of DVD, that someone can tell me why? all other media CD and DVD works great. I can write and read, but with DL, I can't write because this type of media are not recognized. I tried to find information and driver and firmware on the internet, but I can't find note on DVR-K16s pilot.

  I have a satellite M70

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the Satellite M70, it should be possible to burn the DL DVD.
  It's not easy to say why you can't burn your DL media.
  You know that not all readers to support all of the CD and DVD.
  A friend of mine tried to use DL media. There were also some problems with another drive.
  I recommend that you test some DL media.

• Re: Satellite M70-148 - new compatible DVD player

  I have a Satellite M70-148 and the DVD writer is dead some time ago, I'm looking to replace it now but I'm stuck. After looking a bit on Amazon, I found these:
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B0052JJ44C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=AX7W93QYFVSA2
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B0052JJ2P8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&m=AX7W93QYFVSA2

  Is the 2 only I could find on Amazon, I asked the seller as well, but I prefer to know for sure, anyone know if either will fit in a M70 148? All this looks like but what about the connector etc...

  Thanks for any help!

  Hey,.

  What vendor you asked?
  If it were an authorized service provider, you can be sure that the readers, they mentioned will not work properly and I would like to buy only one disk recommended by a service provider authorized because different readers have different pinouts, etc. to 100%, so not all readers are compatible.

  I can t tell if Amazon readers are compatible or not, but if you ask an authorized service provider can give you an exact answer ;)
