Satellite Pro A100: DVD UJ850 of disk I/O error - will not read disks

I got a glance at other posts on the site of the people who have had a similar problem and I'm starting to think that my drive is defekt!

The defective hard drives after extracting audio from a CD to store on my MP3 player. I arrived at almost the end of the CD and the drive started to jump so I took out the cd.
After that, he would not read the discs and returned the device IO error that others have had.

First thing I did was install the driver and cleaned the lens. No luck. Then I removed the device in Device Manager and reinstalled windows, still no luck. Then I tried the registery fix. I even removed the drive and put it back in, my same experience if this can sometimes fix things. Still no joy.
As a last resort, I tried to find the firmware for the drive a Matsu * UJ850, but could ony find another OEM manufacturing of the firmware.

Firmware is for the toshiba Variant? I have really no idea why he left after the extraction of a CD. He had a very light use and is more than 1 year. If there is a way to repair rather than shell out on a new, one I would welcome suggestions.

I saw you first posted thread here in the forum on the problems of drive CD/DVD device.
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=20784
You solve it? It of the same problem?

The problem described here sounds a bit like a hardware malfunction. Especially the drive cannot read or write CD or DVD due to the lens of the drive failure.
But maybe you are a lucky guy and the material is ok

I noticed that the Sonic software could be responsible or IO errors.
Remove the software Sonic add it & remove programs, reboot the laptop and clean the registry with CCleaner software recheck player features.

  • DVD player on the desktop iMac 2009 will not read the dvd whats the fix

    DVD player on the desktop iMac 2009 went to play DVDs on Yosemite.  What is the solution?

    The first thing to try is a disc cleaning disc. About US$ 5-15 in most computer, office supplies and electronic. Loading slot discs get pretty dirty and this dirt/dust can interfere with proper disc. The cleaning disc is an inexpensive and simple step that often solves the problem.

  • Satellite Pro A100-830 - HDD upgrade questions

    I'm a complete noob so please forgive my silly question!

    I would like to replace my laptop HARD drive, is there any combatibilty issues I should be aware of, or is it just a case of getting a HARD drive 2.5 "?

    Is it easy to buy an external and use the internal drive inside the case?

    This seems to be the best way to the value of doing. Specific recommendations?
    Thank you!

    Hi magicmat,

    Generally upgrade the HARD drive is not complicated, and that's why you only have to remove the cover of the HARD drive on the lower side of your laptop to replace the HARD drive.

    Satellite Pro A100 already use hard disks with SATA interface so you have such a HARD drive. In addition, I would recommend a 5400 RPM model because it s quite fast and doesn t a lot of power.

    So that s what you need to know about upgrading. Theoretically, you can use the old or an external HDD with an external HARD drive enclosure. Also no problem. :)

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s will not read the cd rom cd-rom dvd

    OK, I read the other posts on these discs. Mine will play DVD movies and play them. It will not read the dvd ROM CD CD-ROM etc.
    This cannot be a hardware problem, it must be the software should not it?
    Can anyone help?
    Does anyone have information on how to remove these disks of the computer? Im sure I can install a new one myself if I really need to.
    Unfortunately the computer is just out of warranty

    Hi Robert,.

    Unfortunately, your problem sounds like a problem with the hardware with the optical drive. The player itself must be able to refocus its lenses to switch between DVD and CD formats, and also to pass the pressed DVD and DVD burned.

    I suggest you tyre remove the device from the Device Manager Control Panel, then restart your laptop so that the optical drive will be recognized as a new component hardware and Windows will then be re - install with standard drivers etc. If this does not work then it looks like a new drive will be necessary.

    Unfortunately you say not what model of laptop you have (the removal procedure is not the same in all cases), but in general if the car is equipped with in-house it is held in place with one or two screws accessible from the bottom of the laptop that should be removed first, then the optical drive can be slid out of its location.

    Kind regards

    People,
    I have a Satellite Pro A100, with a RUG * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841 S Drive.
    It will read fine data disks, but refuses to play with the audio CD or video DVD.

    I tried to uninstall & Re-Installing DVD - RAM Driver;
    That got rid of the "IO error" that I received, unfortunately I don't notice the full error: S.
    He now just doesn't see the drive. Someone at - it ideas?

    I did a full windows update, and the Toshiba Diagnostic util tell me anything useful except "Fail" :(

    I found a thread in this forum that describes a similar theme:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19747&MessageID=72404

    Sometimes this error is displayed because the player does not support the environment.
    Always it is every way is supported by readers and I think that in the user manual, you will find an index CDs or DVDs compatible

    Maybe the drive is defective and can not calibrate lens in the right position.
    But this laptop is not very old, and I can't imagine that the drive is defective
    However, nothing is impossible.

    What you can do is to carefully clean the lens and see that it will help.

  • Satellite Pro A100-622: disk space HARD lower since I use regitry cleaning tool

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-622 with 80 GB hard drive.

    About a week ago, I used a program I downloaded on internet to clearn registry and improve "performance.
    Since my HDD has been gnawed.

    I deleted programs as much as I could, but even before the cleaning, I never used 30 GB max.
    Have done everthing, disk cleanup, and no sooner got a few MBs, they disappear.

    Don't know what to do now.
    Even tried to reformat the drive using the recovery of products of Toshiba, nothing helps.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You mean that 30 GB on the HARD disk are available?

    Check the status of the disk in disk management.
    You can see the entire HARD drive and all the available partitions
    Perhaps a partition has been created and the other part of the HARD drive is unallocated space

    But he s strange this recovery disk didn't solve this usually recovery disk format the whole HARD drive and redefines the laptop to factory settings

  • Solution for DVD playback choppy on Satellite Pro A100

    Hello!

    I had this problem twice on my Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro A100 bought in April 2006): the DVD used to play very well, but now (perhaps after an update of the driver or installation of software, I not sure what causes this) DVD playback is choppy, distorted sound. This occurs throughout all media players on Windows XP (for example, PowerDVD which came with the laptop) or Windows media player.

    I searched the internet far from a solution and finally found how to solve this problem:

    Go to Device Manager, select the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" section, and then select the "second IDE channel", right click and 'uninstall '. (There are two second IDE channels, if you know which then just uninstall both.) Restart Windows XP, Windows XP will automatically reinstall the drivers without the need to download anything. Subsequently the DVD Player reads normally.

    The symptoms of the problem, apart from DVD playback choppy, are the "transfer mode" gets stuck on PIO for a reason, and bring back to DMA with no opportunity to spend. I have no idea what software or driver causes this, or why, but if this is your problem too, if you think that this solves.

    Cool, thanks for the inquiry and the nice information.
    Could be useful to others here in the forum.
    Nice to have these community users :)

  • Satellite Pro A100: Mat * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi drive does not

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a carpet * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi Drive.

    Recently, I decided that as my laptop is running slowly I wanted to format and reinstall XP Pro, I used a standard version of OEM XP Pro (not seller specfic) and he went on the formatting and the reconstruction of my laptop.

    Fortunately, I used Acronis True Image to backup my laptop before I did that my above mentioned dvd player is so more to bury properly (all the drivers and the necessary software has been installed). Before I formatted the laptop I could burn on + and - DVD (r, rw and ram) now that the laptop has been rebuilt, I can only burn to dvd-r/rw/ram.

    I restored from my laptop to the picture created by Acronis and can use the drive normally again to burn + and - DVD.

    Does anyone know why this would have stopped working in the new installation of Windows? I also tried to create a virtual machine using the same xp disc but it always gives me the problem of dvd player.

    Thank you

    Hello.

    The carpet * a dvd multi drive uj - 841 s that came with my satellite pro a100 written on very slow DVD. Firmware 1.50
    I use good philips and kodak media (both rated 16 X).

    now, I know that the drive is only rated at 8 X max. But I can't even reach 6 X.

    A firmware update would solve this?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, some burning applications control the burning speed to obtain the best possible results from burning
    As you probably n t know the speed of combustion higher risk of burn errors
    I burn my DVD only using a single 1 x speed.

    Then I can be sure that all DVD players would be able to play the burned DVD.

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S does not recognize movie DVD on Satellite Pro A100

    I have a portable Satellite Pro A100-PSAAPE.

    Initially the played DVD movies very well, but now it does not recognize DVD movie at all.

    The drive itself is recognized and works very well with recovery DVD and CD-ROM.

    Phone support: they had me reinstall the driver and boot from the recovery DVD. This does not solve the problem. They then said to do a system restore. Tried, but it seems that the previous restorations of system are in themselves unsuccessful and the restoration of the system that has worked has not solved the problem.

    MediaPlayer and Intervideo WinDVD seem to work well, but do not find the DVD in the drive.

    They advise now reinstall me to factory setting, but don't want to build the laptop up to scratch etc, so I'm hoping that there may always be a solution.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thank you

    Best wishes

    Hello

    You understand that you must specify if it is a hardware or software problem.
    Unfortunately, you can find this secret only using recovery DVD (CD).
    Toshiba recovery installation will define the laptop back to the factory settings. In this case you may find whether or not the CD/DVD device is defective.

    If the player will not play the DVD after the reinstallation of the operating system, then chances are that it is a CD/DVD drive error.

    Good bye

    You mean he s a software problem?

    I doubt it because it sounds like a mechanical hardware problem and in this case, the disk must be replaced.
