Satellite Pro A100 IO error - CD/DVD player-

Hi all

My car does not start or read, all I get is an error of e/s.
She produced just out of the blue and after trying to fix it on my own I had to turn to my local computer dealer, but all he told me was to send my laptop in to Toshiba for a renovation, impossible to determine themselves what the problem was.

I saw on the net that the carpet * a player installed on this laptop isn't the most reliable on the market, with similar errors a bit, but unfortunately, there is not too much advice on how to correct this problem.

Is there anyone out there with a few aces up their sleeve, or the best thing just to get a new laptop?

> fix it on my own
As I see that you are trying to fix it yourself and nobody don't we know what you did exactly.
I still don't know what you want to correct. Either player is working or not and that there must be a reason for it. This reason is known to you?

In any case, the assignment of pins is not the same for all readers, and if you use some with the wrong pin assignment you will get this error. So, if you want to fix this alternative to find and swap the drive with a compatible. Nobody says you have to use the same model.

In s manuals you can find a list with all compatible readers for your laptop model.
Check it out.

  • Satellite Pro A100 PSAASE: error Power Saver and LAN? After downgrade to XP

    Hello
    I have a toshiba satellite pro A100-psaase!
    I could not find this model on the toshiba site, so I chose the A100-psaas software.

    The laptop came with windows vista. I have it downgraded to windows xp, has chosen the psaas model so that I can download the drivers.

    I have 2 problems: the first is the eve of power software, it does not work. Start windows every time I get an error in the energy saver. I can not uninstall.

    My second problem is, that a windows pop who found a network controller and I can't find any software or driver for it. So in Device Manager, an exclamation point on the icon of the network controller.

    The funny thing is that I have internet and all.
    I can't find a solution to these two problems
    Thanks again

    Hello

    You have chosen the correct unit. The satellite Pro A100 PSAASE is the same model as PSAAS.
    I put t know why the power gain error appears, but for most of these errors occur because the tools and utilities have been installed in the wrong order!
    Seems that the installation instruction has been placed on the page of the driver Tosh! Read and follow the installation guide lines! Proper installation is important and necessary.

    The LAN drivers are also published on the page! There are 2 different versions. Try them both!
    The laptop supports a Lan Intel Ekron-R 82562GZ chip. Compatible drivers, you can also find on the Intel page!

    Good day

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300D - firmware for the DVD player?

    Hello

    I recently got a nice new Satellite Pro A300D of my work and was just my typical thing to go through the update of their efforts. However, when you try to update the firmware of the DVD drive for my particular model (PSAK9E-00C003EN), I realized that the firmware he suggested was wrong. After watching on my pc, I discovered that my drive is Pioneer DVD - RW DVRTD08A (1.50), but I can't find information anywhere on the net about the updates of the firmware (or the existence of this drive at all!). Could someone point me in the direction of some information and firmware more recent if it exists?

    Thanks for any info that someone has!

    Willybob

    Satellite Pro A300D was equipped of various CD/DVD players.
    On the Toshiba driver page, you can find an update of the firmware that came out for a CD/DVD drive that was not installed in your laptop and so you can not install this update.

    If you are unable to find an update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive, then an update doesn't exist and is not necessary!

  • Satellite Pro A300D: Can I old DVD player to downgrade firmware

    Is it possible to recover the old firmware (1.50 worm) or newer for DVRTD08A drive?

    Unfortunately, I flashed this drive with the wrong firmware version 1.54 to DVRTD08L with label flash function.

    My drive does not have this feature. This firmware will not affect the player functionality?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you can download only the updates of the firmware which are available on the European driver Toshiba page.
    If your favorite firmware update is available, then you would be able to downgrade it.
    Is there no firmware then you can not change this :(

    > Will this feature of player firmware affect?
    It's not easy to tell in many cases, you can still use the CD/DVD drive and will not see any changes, but sometimes this incorrect firmware can damage the disc and make it unusable.

    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.

  • 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

    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager. After the withdrawal, please restart the laptop. The operating system should recognize the drive again and you could check the functionality.
    But to me it looks to your training goal is dirty and it is unable to read the disc.
    Try to clean it, use a lint cloth and as the part of the lens is delicate, being very soft when you rub.

  • 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

  • Satellite Pro A100 carpet * dvd uj - 841 s write at very slow speed

    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.

    I have a problem and I really really really could use some help, its been listen to me for the last two days ive trawled through countless amounts of forums and web pages without success then for a last ditch attempt until I throw it out the window (figuratively) I thought I'd come here for help!

    It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 model No. ' PSAAPE-00Q00KEN

    initially when I started the computer this error message came

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.
    Operating system not found

    now, I managed to stop the PXE errors by disabling the Lan built into the BIOS option

    I have check and made sure it is not a disk in the DVD player to the left it doesn't have a floppy drive so it isn't that

    BIOS for some reason usually see the hard drive is a seagate 80 GB HDD Sata, but I know that its fine because it works but in my Dell laptop.
    and my Dell laptop hard drive is not seen in the Toshiba.

    Now that I read all about flashing the BIOS, but I can't because the only download I get Toshiba is one that runs when windows is running (if I can't get it to boot, how do I Flash the bios)?

    I also tried thing BIOS resseting to short-circuit the c88 under the wireless network card, but that didn't work or the other!

    Now is there anything else I can try or do give up and throw it out the window?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello!

    It's really strange, but it looks like your HARD drive to the motherboard controller is the reason for this because you said that the HARD drive works in another phone.

    Can you please try another HARD drive in this notebook? If another HARD drive works the old HDD is definitely faulty and if not, I think that the motherboard must be replaced.
    So, you can determine what is exactly the problem.
    In addition, I think that there is nothing more you can do at the moment.

    Good bye
