• After downgrading from Vista Satellite L30-101 does not read DVD

  Hey,.

  Like many people, I didn't like Vista and so returned to the use of Windows XP.

  In doing so, I lost a lot of things like the ability to watch DVDs and sound, most of these problems fixed so easily by downloading the drivers from this site.

  However, even after the DVD driver download I can't read DVDs yet.
  When you try to play through Windows media player I get say error message that I did not have a MPEG-2 decoder, in the section web site help, it suggests where to get one, but you have to play for each other.
  After having one in the first place, I don't think I should buy a new one.

  If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appretiated if they could let me know.

  Thank you

  PS I have a Satellite L30-101

  I think you have a codec problem, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should install the latest version of Media Player and codec Xvid, DivX and AC3. These are free (google it!). Or you can try alternative software, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, you can try the demo versions.

• Satellite L650 - ODD does not read most of the CD or DVD after BIOS update

  While DVD copy, asked me to do an upgrade of the bios for the included software on my laptop, so I thought that coming from toshibsa, it must be safe. I closed all my apps and let the update occur, restarted my pc and tried to continue to copy my dvd.

  Now my dvd writer does not read most of my CD or DVD, original as well.
  I managed to get hold of my previous Bios version after a battle before the update to see if I can go back to my old version, but the executable file runs a program that says the version is older then the one I use, so it will not load it.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated I have two days to copy 100 DVDs for a customer and I can't do it now,

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L650 running windows 7 64 bit 8 GB memory with a SSD hard drive

  > I can return to my old version, but the executable file runs a program that says the version is older then the one I use, so it will not load it

  I don t think that the BIOS is the problem here, the point is that CD and DVD support details are stored in the firmware of the CD/DVD drive and NOT in the BIOS of the laptop.
  So in my opinion the update of the BIOS is not the reason for your problem.

  I think you should check if cleaning the laser lens allows you to read discs.
  Use a fluid wadding tip and alcohol to gently clean the laser lens.

• Re: Satellite A200-1N7 does not read the SDHC card using Win 7 32 bit

  Hi all

  After that I installed windows 7 32 bit on my laptop, it does not read my sdhc card.
  And he did it when I got Vista.

  Can someone help what to do?

  Thank you very much:

  Adry

  Hello

  Have you installed the driver for the card reader?
  Have you noticed an unknown device in Device Manager?

  Please see the page of European disk from Toshiba for the card reader driver.
  Satellite A200-1N7 belongs to the PSAE3E series
  I found the driver of the card reader for Vista 64-bit
  Usually the Vista driver should work on Win 7 OS too

  If this does not work, then try the drivers released for A500 or L500 series!

• Satellite A200 27z does not recognize DVD drive

  Hello

  Ive got the computer laptop toshiba Satellite A200 27z & a while a go it wouldn't turn on at all, I took it to a computer repair shop & they seemed to solve the problem, except that they delete all the "stuff" that comes with the laptop.

  On the most part, he always does things I want to do. But recently I went to play a dvd in there & it won't work, even if it does not play DVD if theyre sent to me by msn etc.

  Normally, when I put a dvd, toshiba dvd player would automatically right away, but now he used. When I go to manually open the dvd player toshiba a message just ups saying:

  * the specific drive is not found. Check the settings by going to settings > stock settings > source. or otherwise check that the disc has been correctly connected to the levels

  Ive been in the "action settings", but the source area is blocked (do not type anything in it). I don't know much about computers and so do not know how to check if the drive is properly connected.

  It will not also recognize when I put a cd that he either, as normally if I put a cd in and then itunes would automatically load upward, now itunes will not appear if a cd is in the laptop & I can't find it anywhere.

  can help someone, I have no idea about these things!

  I had this problem a few months ago, I thought that I should send it to be repaired but Windows Mr Fixit made and my dvd player is running again

• does not read dvd-video

  My Envy 17-1181nr just got Win7, reinstalled by HP.  Now, the player plays BluRay very well but does not read the DVD-video.  The drive makes noise, a video DVD of loading then the video starts and stops a few seconds.  I uninstalled the device and reinstalled with the updated drivers.  Suggestions welcome.  Bill

  Hi Bill,

  My mistake, I forgot that your laptop is a slot player.

  You should find that any store computer will store a disc, which you can load into the reader who will perform the cleanup - the disc itself was fine on brushes that will clean the lens.  The only point I want to emphasize, is to make sure that when you ask one of these discs, make sure what you say it's for portable optical drive as some are not suitable for the drives in the computer.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A300-1ME does not read that DVD only reads CD - R

  HY,

  My Satellite A300 - 1st Don t read CD - R and CD - RW worse or unburned, it only read´s DVD´s.
  Please can you give me a helping hand for this problem.

  Thank you

  Hello

  First of all, you should check if are some registry issues.
  Go to the register a remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Then restart the device and check if you could read the CD.

  I had a lot of problems with different discs (CDs and DVDs) as well
  I could solve the problem. the problem is that my CD/DVD drive is not compatible with some CD and DVD from different manufacturers

  Finally, I bought some TDK CD - R and my CD/DVD player has been able to manage these disks
  I think you should check the different discs from different manufacturers too!

  Last but not least check if there is an update of the firmware of CD/DVD for you, CD/DVD player.
  To do this, you should visit checking page European driver Toshiba details more details.
  You will find the info if the firmware has been published for you CD/DVD drive.

• DVD - RW DVR-K17LF for the Satellite series does not read DVD but only to CD

  Hello

  I have a serious problem with my DVD player.
  He stopped to work. I mean, he's not reading CD but not DVD discs.
  I don't know what the problem is.

  I went on the internet and found no solution.

  Please help me.
  It is not a software problem, because my laptop does not start the DVD, but due to the CD...

  Hello

  The issue could be linked to the anomaly of the player's laser lens.
  Maybe the lens can not handle the DVD because of a physical constraint.
  In most cases, the lens can not calibrate properly and therefore different media would not work.
  In this case there is not much to do in most of the cases that the drive needs to be replaced.

  But maybe you could try to clean the drive s laser lens using a cleaning professional who could be bought from the other computer dealers.
  I don't very well if this will help but it s worth to try m

  PS: Try this:
  Remove the drive from Device Manager, access the registry and remove the filters top and bottom of this key;
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Then restart the laptop and check the functionality of s by car.

• Satellite P200-1EE does not read HD DVD drive TS-L802A HD

  I bought a P200-1EE of PC World and have found since that she has huge problems for reading HD DVDs via HD Toshiba DVD player software.

  I bought the last movie of Harry Potter of Warner Brothers to test the drive. Player software launches (after recognizing the media) once I inserted the disc to hd, but it crashes then once he eventually tries to read the disc. I know that the drive is ok because it worked without any problem on the Xbox HD dvd player, and on about 60 attempts, he played twice!

  The guys from PC World pulled a 1EE another P200 of their warehouse and after it is autoconfig he had the same problems, that is to say he ran the player then locked with a black screen (no error) and we finish the task the software does not respond.

  I'm a little frustrated and can not find the Board of anywhere. I have updated the bios of laptop computers, but can not find updates the firmware for Player software or drive. The driver doesn'tseem to have updates or the other (version 6.0.6000.16386)

  I have an exceptional appeal with Tosh but I hope someone else can have solved something similar.

  I am also looking for support playing movies through the HDMI cable, if I can get the laptop working.

  Thanks for your time my dear SIRS.

  Hello

  You use the Toshiba HD DVD player?
  If yes-> trying to update from Toshiba's HD DVD player with the update published on the Qosmio G30.
  There is an update of this utility, and the original version must be installed to perform this update!

  But please don t forget a fact; HD DVD technology is very recent, and not all movies have been designed with the same level.
  Sometimes may occur that the player will manage all HD DVD.

  Of course, you could try to test other HD DVD movies to ensure that equipment (HD-DVD player) is not defective

• Satellite A40: Drive does not read CD but DVD

  I have a SatA40 (now almost 3 years ago) and cd/dvd unit does not work well, the cd cannot read or write, but the dvd reads all my DVDs.

  Does anyone have an idea why we don't have, and the other does not? (Everyone I mention that he thinks it's strange - thought if does not work the other shouldn't be.)

  Hello

  You sounds of description as the lens of the drive cannot calibrate in the right position.
  Usually before the player will read or write the middle of what the lens must be calibrated.
  In you case the lens can not calibrate and that's why the drive does not recognize the CD.

  Usually in this case, the drive must be replaced.
  But maybe you are a lucky man. Try to clean the lens gently. But be careful

• Satellite A500 does not read DVD

  Not sure about the specific problem of original posters but I cant get DVD's to play on my A500 either. I only had the unit for a few weeks, but don't think I've tried far movies (movies on my USB stick work fine, just can't get the DVD player to work). I had no problem initial installation Norton / MSoffice and others so I guess that the hardware is working fine just do not speak for the rest of the computer regarding Watch DVD
  The hard drive does not appear when I 'explorer' the computer so I can not yet use Media Player to find the disc and see the movie like this. If I try to use the toshiba dvd player, I get the following message;

  "The specified drive is not found. Check the settings by going in "parameters - parameters-source of the Action, or otherwise make sure that disk has been correctly connected to the PC.

  When I explore drivers, the computer says that I have the good. Ideas for a jerk of techie nearly to repair it? My EX so used to do all those things... I would rather not go crawling back to him for help! Laughing out loud

  Hello
