Satellite Pro A120: DVD/CD-RW drive does not work

Hello: the dvd/CD-RW drive does not work. apparently it has been disabled somehow! Any ideas on how I can turn it back on?

Have you tried the Device Manager and it says it works normally!

Any ideas please?

Thanks :)

> apparently it has been disabled somehow
I put t think that the disc has been disabled!

How someone or something should turn off the drive? You have disabled the drive? I don't think so!

You said that the drive appears in Device Manager. So I guess that the drive is enabled and is recognized by the OS.
You are getting error messages or what's wrong?

Perhaps the reader can read or burn CDs or DVDs.
This happens if the lens of the drive cannot calibrate properly and can not handle the inserted media.

Maybe the replacement drive is required!

  • Satellite P200 accidents + message: graphic card driver does not work properly

    Hello

    hope that this issue has not been covered before, but I've owned a Satellite P200 for 3 years now, and this week, it crashes all the time.

    When it started going down he gave me a few messages in the sense of "your graphics card/driver does not work properly and windows will be arrested to avoid damage.

    It has progressed to the point where now when I turn it on, I have vertical lines running down the screen and the screen flashes on and outside. Within 20 seconds, it restores the BSOD - 'there was a problem and windows will be arrested. Error Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area"then stops.

    I ran a system restore but the problem remains.

    I have a feeling that my graphics card is toast. Is this good? Are there any other options to try? Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Matt

    Hello

    Sounds like the GPU problem.
    But try the graphics card driver update.
    Use the most recent driver for your graphics card.

    In addition, clean the fans of portable computers.
    Dust and debris could prevent the cooling fans to turn with the best speed and this could lead to a higher temperature which would lead to overheating.
    Use a jet of compressed air. I also use it and it helps to get rid of dust and debris.

    If this is not enough, then a problem of graphics chip would be possible.

  • Satellite M40-185: DVD super multi drive does not read the CD

    I own a Toshiba Satellite M40-185. It is mounted with a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 831S.
    When I put the CD - R, which are supposed to work on this drive however it read as a CD - R [i.e. the icon changes from DVD - RAM drive in my computer to a CD - R]

    However, when you double-click the drive it says D:\ accicble not. But it works fine with DVD.
    Recently, I found that it stops between buring DVD as well. I got the replaced disk from Toshiba, but it was not to last long either.
    I wonder if his software level problem.

    I tried to update the firmware but it does not work because it's another drive for this what is mentioned on the website for drivers...

    Maybe it s only a registry error?
    I read different statements here in the forum and especially the deletion of in the upper and lower registry filters helps to address these issues.

    For more information, see this page of Microsoft Knowledge:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

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

  • Satellite Pro A60: TV S-VHS on does not work

    I have a Satellite Pro a60 and I'm pulling out my S-VHS to function... This does not work very well.

    I connected all the cables right and right click on the desktop, again choose preferences, then on Preferences, but I can't find anything on the transmission of the video signal.

    I have not though as the configuration standard of Toshiba, but that shouldn't matter. I'm running WinXP SE, but the drivers for my card ATI is about two years old and I can not find a suitable one anywhere, this is the problem, or should I program utility ATI?

    Best regards!

    Hello

    You should also check the TV settings. You must choose the right channel.
    As in the previous announcement suggested, you can change the display device using the FN + F9 key combination.
    If you want to play the DVD with the WinDVD player for example if you first need to change the output of the TV and then start the WinDVD.

  • Satellite Pro L20-212 - USB 2.0 does not work

    Hello

    I own a * Satellite Pro L20-212 *, * Windows XP (SP2) is installed, but USB2.0 does not work *. I see nothing on USB 2.0 in the Devicemanager and the speed of the USB 2.0 devices attached is at the level of the USB 1.1.

    I don't know what information is needed to help me with this problem as it should normally work on my laptop (and I know that the laptop has USB 2.0 ports).

    What I have to install a special driver to use USB2.0 or is there any software on my laptop that I need to activate?

    Thank you very much
    Frank

    Hello

    Did you install the image on the Toshiba Recovery CD? This image contains the Windows operating system, Toshiba drivers and additional utilities. After installation, everything should work fine, and also the USB ports should work also.

    The USP ports, you can find in Device Manager in the serial BUS controller universal section. Open the tree and check if there is some yellow exclamation points.
    Then try to remove the Device Manager, the controllers and the USB hub and restart the laptop. After restarting again the OS should recognize USB controllers deleted again.

    I hope that this accelerated procedure will help you.

  • Satellite Pro C850-1EQ - 8 tiles Windows does not work

    Hello

    I'm desperate for help try to solve this problem with my laptop. When I got my laptop (at Christmas) the majority of the tiles on the home screen windows 8 worked, however after a week or two they have gradually stopped working, which is very frustrating.

    When I click on a tile, it opens on the screen but the wheel continues to turn and nothing loads. I spoke to Microsoft online, however, they said that the problem with Toshiba as the laptop was purchased with Windows 8 already integrated.

    Suggestions, they did involving anti-virus and updates did not work.
    The most frustrating part is the Windows tile store does not work so I can't try to updates or new downloads to see if they will not solve the problem.

    Of course, I can use my laptop without the tiles, but I'm upset that I paid extra for Windows 8 and chooses the best part of it not working!

    Any advice on what to do next would be great, thanks in advance.

    Guess what? Try to restore the system Windows 8 back to the factory settings.
    Here you will find documentation how to do this:

    [Windows 8 recovery & repair | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm]

    I recommend using the option * reset your PC *.

    + This option "Reset your PC" is useful when a PC is changed hands, or when you want to get a completely fresh start on a PC, without previous files of the selected configuration. +
    + The delete all, then reinstall Windows option permanently removes your personal files and the PC applications and returns 8 Windows to its original state. That the State of origin is a clean install of Windows 8, nor the default configuration of OEM factory, depending on the medium used for the operation. +

  • Satellite Pro U400 - sound of the wheel does not work anymore

    The wheel of sound control in my Satellite Pro U400 works not properly since last month.

    Now, I have to use the volume bar in Vista to adjust properly. When I try to lower the volume by turning the wheel, as I did before, he constantly increases the volume after reducing to a few percent. If I flip it is very very slow, sometimes it decreases the volume a little, but other times it increases. Also when I'm in a word processor, turn the wheel to the right input 'c' character ' on the screen.
    There is no problem when I try to increase the volume, it does its job.

    Do you think it is related to hardware or can it be a problem of driver or something. Is there a solution?

    Thank you

    Hello!

    I had this problem on another laptop Toshiba also and after reinstalling with the recovery disk the problem has been resolved. I also tried updating the drivers and so far, but without success.

  • Satellite Pro A300D - reinstalled XP - now its does not work

    Recently, I had a virus on my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D-14O, which meant that I had to take it to get reinstalled Windows.
    This tech guy who I gave it to a do.

    However, now, the sound does not seem to work properly.
    The volume on the laptop wheel itself does nothing.
    I tried to open Control Panel to check the sounds and audio devices, but I could not change anything in the boxes.

    I tried to download a driver from toshiba Web site was updated, but I thought that it could not find the device driver support.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    You must install the Win XP SP3!
    This package must be installed BEFORE installing the audio driver.

    Install SP3
    Then remove the audio driver (already installed) system
    Go to Device Manager and remove the sound chip of the list of devices
    Restart the device
    Now reinstall the sound card driver.

    Should work as it worked in my case as well

  • Re: Satellite Pro A100 PSAA3E: after XP installation does not work

    Hello

    I recently bought a psaa3e Satellite Pro A100.
    I formatted and installed Win XP. Everything works except the sound.
    In Device Manager its shows a PCI device problem.

    I think I need the pci to install before my sound card is recognized.
    I could be wrong and often am installed all drivers I could find on this site for my laptop.
    Any suggestions please, its driving me crazy.

    spadger

    The solution is simple.
    After installing Xp, you must install all the service packs. SP2 is important.
    In addition, you will need to upgrade the XP to the last State. All fixes and patches must be installed also.
    The * KB888111 * and * KB835221 hotfix * must be installed before installing the audio driver.

    After installing the hotfix, restart the computer, and then reinstall the audio driver!

    Good luck
