Satellite Pro A10 - CD/DVD drive has stopped reading discs

• Satellite Pro A10 - CD/DVD drive - updated?

  I have an A10 and a few remnants of the A15 which I cannibalise the parts.
  The A10 has DVD playback only, while the A15 motorway had features of reading / writing DVD.

  Desperately the A10 BIOS does not recognize the A15 CD/DVD drive.
  Anyone know if it is possible to obtain this recognition - could I swap chips BIOS with the A15 for example?

  This machine is my toy and I have it running with a Pentium 4 M 2.4 GHz and 1 GB of ram (frustrating it does not accept the sticks of 1 GB!).

  It's a gift so if I break, well I'll be sad - but not heart broken...

  Hello
  You can only use the BIOS that came out for the Satellite Pro A10 series and which is available on the Toshiba page.

  But why you n t use a CD/DVD drive that is compatible with the model Satellite Pro A10?
  The manual provides details on supported devices.
  I found the user manual [here: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/userman-en-20090121085356.zip]

  On page 4-7 you will find info on the STRANGE devices supported by Pro A10
  -TEAC CD-224th CD-ROM drive
  -DW-224th drive TEAC CD-RW/DVD-ROM
  -Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-C2612
  -Diving Toshiba CD-RW/DVD-ROM SD-R2412
  -DVD-R /-RW drive SD-R6012
  -Hitachi drive of DVD - ROM RDA-8082
  -Player Panasonic UJDA-740/750 CD/RW/DVD-ROM

  Hope that the list could be useful.

• Driver has stopped reading discs

  The DVD RW drive on my computer (Vista SP2) has stopped reading & grateful discs. When I put a disc, the green light flashes for a few seconds, then nothing. When I double-click the drive in 'My Computer', the Player automatically opens & I get an error message: "insert a disc. Please insert a disc into drive D ".

  When I looked at the driver through the Device Manager, he told me that the HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GIA-HSSN ATA device work properly. When I clicked update, it told me that the latest version of the software was already installed. Roll Back Driver was not available. I uninstalled the driver and then rebooted my machine. The driver was reinstalled, but still did not work. I did a sfc scan, who told me that there is no integrity problems. Any ideas on the course of action to take to solve this problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

• Satellite 1000-Z2 CD/DVD drive has stopped working

  I had problems with the automatic eject button and have been doing it manually, and recently it was random when 'docking', so I reinserted, if not drive to work very well. Now he stopped to read the CD/DVD, and the entire computer freezes. Is it better to consider a repair shop or buy a new drive?

  Hello

  Generally, if the drive is dead only the drive replacement will solve the problems. I don t think that it is possible to repair the disk.
  But nevertheless, you must contact the service because there you can control compatible player. The problem is that not all readers are compatible with the device.
  The ASP from Toshiba have detailed information about the compatibility of the device and you can be sure that you will get a good player at 100%.

• Satellite A300-177 - Pioneer DVD - RW KD08A stopped reading discs

  The car has worked since the machine was purchased. Today, there has been a problem

  When you put in a disk, it rotates - but made much more noise than usual, then stops. And that's all. The machine - running Vista - does not recognize that there is a disc in the drive. The device is functioning according to the Device Manager and the driver is up to date and working properly. The DVD player, same media file browser Player do not recognize that there is a dik in drive.

  I tried 4 different DVD and CD. I looked at just 3 days ago, so I know there is no problem with the disks. I thought it would be the head of reading - but who wouldn't it start and then stop - isn't it.

  Any help appreciated. Someone at - he heard of this before. I don't know what to try now.

  Thank you

  Hi 90 feet.

  If the drive is properly recognized in Device Manager, there may be a problem with the upper and lower filters in the registry or it s the reader himself.

• Satellite A40: drive has stopped reading the CD & DVD discs

  Does anyone know why my CD/DVD combo drive has stopped reading discs (CD and DVD). The light blinks for a while then stays on but nohting happen after that. No prompt to ask to see WMP or real player etc. Nothing at all.

  Hi André,.

  Normally, this occurs if the optical drive cannot read the titles of the index on the CD. It does this so that the built-in firmware allows to identify the disc type and recalibrate the lens as a result.

  It might, however, be something simple as having the 'autoplay' feature to take no measure for that when a disc is inserted in the optical drive will be re - calibrate the lens and then not start any software to actually read the disc.

  Try to insert a disc and then open 'My computer' and check if the optical drive is displayed. If this is the case, then try the "Explorer" (right-click on the icon). If you receive an error indicating that the disk is not accessible or the disc cannot be read, then it is likley that you have a faulty drive.

  Kind regards

• CD/DVD drive has stopped being recognized by Satellite A100 - 01 G

  I have a Satellite A100 - 01 G, but the CD/DVD drive has stopped being recognized by the machine.

  Help, please
  Thank you

  Hello

  Have you checked in the Device Manager if the CD/DVD player display correctly?
  Please check this!

  As a follow-up, I would recommend removing the reader of CD/DVD of the crèche of the device a restarting the laptop.
  The Windows operating system should recognize the new device (ODD) and should load the drivers again.

  Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  and reboot.

  Good luck

  Rare Hi

  This message is certainly created by the installed graphic card driver.
  I can't say for sure why this happens, but I recommend you to reinstall the graphics driver.
  In most cases, this should fix problems with gambling.

• Satellite L500-13D-CD/DVD drive does not read CD

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite l500-137 laptop with vista sp2.
  There is a cd writes that my dvd drive would not read, the driver can read other CDs & DVDs well.
  who says cd's seems to be fine as it can become red from the other computer.

  any suggestions?

  * Thanks to *.

  Hello

  That means only one disc can be read from your laptop and all other disks can be read properly? Well, in my opinion, it could be a disc problem, maybe it's striped s and so it can t be read to all readers.

  In your case, I would try to clean the lens of your CD/DVD drive. Therefore, you can use a microfibre cloth.
  Check it!

• CD/DVD drive does not read discs on Equium A100

  My cd/dvd drive does not read any discs be it, white, written or commercially written. It opens and closes and is light to show that he is working on. Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning properly.

  Tried the update of drivers, no update available. Tried restoring the system back 1 day and 1 week and 1 month, then and still the problem cannot be corrected. When I put a cd/dvd in the drive and try to access it, it says: D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

  Can someone help me I tried everything my friends and I can think, or is it better to send just to toshiba warranty.

  If the solution proposed by James will not help, you should try to remove the drive to CD/DVD in Device Manager.
  After phone restart the operating system will recognize and initialize the disk again.
  After this review of the procedure if you can read, write the middle.

• E DVD drive has stopped working on my Satellite L755D

• How to use Recovery on satellite Pro L10 with DVD drive broken?

  Hello...

  I have a satellite Pro L10, which is virused. I need to recover Windows. Unfortunately, I can not, because the CD/DVD drive is borked.

  I tried everything until and including the purchase of a laptop adapter HD, but my desktop computer is not a Toshiba so he does not have the recovery disk.

  I've never had to use a "recovery disk" before, so I have no idea how it works - apparently there should be a folder on my hard drive recovery? can someone tell me where I could find it? (I'm quite familiar with the innards of my installation of Windows and have never noticed before). Also, is it possible that this native recovery file has been compromised by my virus?

  Default: can it be fixed using an installation of LAN, and if so, could someone point me to instructions? (My BIOS allows booting from LAN, but not USB, which is irritating).

  Any other suggestions would be welcome.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First of all you will not be able to use the Toshiba Recovery disk if you cannot use the CD/DVD drive.
  Why? Because you need to boot from the CD of recovery if you want to install windows from the CD from Toshiba.

  You ask how to boot from LAN?
  Well friend; I doubt that you will be able to do.
  First of all that this could be possible only if you have a RIS server.
  The Remote Installation Services can be installed optionally on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008.

  It's really complicated and not easy for someone who has never done.
  If you want you can google a little how to create REEFS but in my opinion it s advisable to buy and compatible CD/DVD drive because the STRANGE can also be used for other purposes

• Satellite Pro A30: CD/DVD drive does not-how to restore the OS?

• Satellite Pro A10 - updated DVD player

  Hello. I bought this laptop with a DVD player, but upgrade to a DVD - RW so that I can burn DVDs. Anyone know if it is possible to buy an internal DVD RW burner drive for this model of Satellite Pro or should I just a USB external DVD burner?

  Thank you

  Hiya,

  You can certainly replace your DVD drive with a new DVD burner, but you will need to make sure that you get a new device with the same form factor (physical dimensions) and also one that is on the characteristics of good connection (master, slave, or C/salt).

  I suggest that you only contact your nearest ASP to check compatible DVD burners.

  Kind regards
