Satellite Pro L300 Windows 7 Upgrade - DVD player no longer works

Hello

I upgraded my Satellite Pro L300 Windows Vista to Windows 7 a few months back, now, I noticed the Player DVD no longer works! All ok in Device Manager, but the habit of reading anything.

I have use a Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade disk that could be my problem. I used the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and Windows 7 Ultimate disc.

I tried to download and install the latest Windows 7 32 bit DVD Toshiba drivers but still no joy.

Can someone advise procedure I should follow to correct, if I need to downgrade back to Vista, hope not!

Thank you.

Optical disc drive is properly listed in Windows Explorer?
Do you have problems with some specific discs?
Original music and film discs are readable?

What player you use to watch movies?

  • Satellite Pro A300: Win 7 Upgrade DVD does not list my laptop model

    I bought a Satellite Pro A300 that came with Windows Vista pre-installed on it. I was offered a Windows 7 Uprgrade for 30 by Toshiba that I bought and got 2 discs:

    (1) Windows 7 Upgrade disc
    (2) Toshiba Win7 Drivers Upgrade drive

    I have updated successfully however the drivers Toshiba disk does not list my model of laptop. I tried to install the drivers on the disk for the OEM software such as drivers of web cam (which are not available online), but they do not work. Also now my DVD player does not open and I can't view the contents of the disc?

    Can someone advise who I come into contact with to get a drive for my laptop model?

  • 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 L750D/L755D - its integrated and DVD player does not work.

    Hey

    First of all I have no idea where to post this.
    Beside that, I'm clueless about take you over the page. (which lets you choose the computer laptop/build/etc etc)
    So here I am

    I have a Toshiba - Satellite-L750D/L755D

    He came Pentecost 7 windows, but after a lot of trouble, and since I hate windows 7 more then any other OS.
    I bought windows 8, which is now upgraded to 8.1 the last update as you know.
    Since the same beginning whit windows 7 built-in speakers not work as they should.
    And small piece I want to say at the start that they have worked... BUT for 5-10 sec, then it just stopt.

    But the strange part of it is if I connect a sound box the sound works perfectly and does not either.
    I'm not an expert in the field. but since I grew up whit it I know a little bit about it.

    I think it's something whit drivers that are corrupt or don't work well together.
    Now search across the web around trying to find a solution but not done whit no progress at all.
    You may think different, but I think that this Web site is the worst of all. lol sorry I have to be true.

    He asks what kind of satellite I what I know but who is not in the list, anywhere!
    Then try to find the right driver which is probably need is a little impossible.
    Next to this no disc drive of mine no longer works.

    No matter what or what disc I put in, after all he'll say that there is no disk or the disk is empty.
    And no, this isn't the issue because if I put in another laptop / pc, it works very well.
    I'm getting a little tired of it because I paid more than 700 euros for this laptop.
    To know that I could use it properly for 3 months, after that it started to happen.
    I'm still paying every month for this laptop, which is unusable at all.

    Why? because I had no sound, and the reason I bought a laptop from Pentecost 8 GB of ram is for games.
    Now to do games come whit a disc, if your laptop can not read you wasted more money. (new)

    I really need help whit this and hope I am on the right place for it.
    Because I'm on the point just throw it out the window.

    If you want to know more information ask around. I give you everything I know.
    But also didn't really know what to write here, next to the problems I faced.
    .
    Oh yes before I forget, I tried to get the drivers whit me serial nr.
    And guess what? It does not exist! And no, I'm not stupid, that's good.

    Help, please!

    Hi Theo

    At first, I want to clarify one important fact: it is user community.
    I guess you did not however, I want to help you provide essential information.

    First of all some ideas concerning the problem of CD/DVD drive:
    As you probably know that the lens of the laser s internal drive is important to read or write data on the disk (CD or DVD). In case this laser lens is dirty or would not calibrate properly, the disc could not be treated properly.

    I m also an owner of some different notebooks and I had the same problem in the past. I could fix it by cleaning the laser lens using cotton tip and liquid alcohol. I was not very difficult to clean the lens, and after this procedure simply the disc can be read correctly.
    I recommend you to clean the laser lens and verify if it would help to address this problem.

    Regarding the sound issue:
    You have posted some info on the series of the laptop but I put t know which model of laptop you have exactly: Satellite L750D-xxx
    It would be interesting to know which model you have exactly.

    In any case, always is, and the problem could be related to software or hardware problems.
    Software problems could be solved by putting the laptop back to factory settings (using the procedure of recovery, Recovery disk). Of course, this would mean that you would get the Win 7 OS on the laptop and your personal data would be deleted. So save the data if it is important for you.

    Of course it would be also desirable to reinstall the audio driver.
    The Toshiba UE driver page provides all the drivers for the laptop Toshiba EU models
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Since most of the Satellite L750D-xxx models use the same sound chip, you can choose any series L750D for the right audio driver.
    Note: the audio driver should be removed (uninstalled) before beginning the installation of the new driver.
    This could be done in the Device Manager.

  • Satellite Pro M30: Mast * a uj-820 s no longer works

    Satellite Pro M30: my dvd does not work. Everything seems fine with the hardware and drivers (already resettled) but even if the unit appears to access the media, in my pc or else I do not see the files. They register in administrator.

    Can we do with drag and drop in purchase of pc? Also plugged in external dvd who worked here and works in other computers and same problem! PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
    At least a clue?

    Hi Malva,

    Your DVD drive is visible in Device Manager? If so you can try to run the option "Troubleshooting" from there.

    It must also propose in your BIOS. Make sure to do.

    Finally, you can try to remove the device from your laptop and then restart. The system must detect the drive and reinstall it.

  • Portege M800 - after Windows 7 upgraded FN keys no longer works

    Hello
    I upgraded my * portege M800 * bought * Canada * for * 64-bit Windows 7 *.
    Everything is good except the keyboard. It's a Canadian bilingual keyboard with 86 keys with 13 function keys and a buttons on console with 6 keys (cut, cd/dvd, play, stop, previous, next).
    I don't update all the drivers because it works very well with Windows 7 drivers.

    The problem is:
    -function keys (Fn +..) no longer works
    -the buttons of the console with 6 keys (play, pause, etc.) no longer work

    What I did:
    -check the keyboard driver in Device Manager: it is a microsoft driver
    -a attempted to update a driver toshiba but * he didn't find in the list of drivers for windows 7 or vista on toshiba website *: [http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/download/PORTEGE_M800_64_cae.htm]

    So, I don't know if it's a driver problem or something else?

    Concerning

    Hey,.

    These special functions of the FN keys and multimedia keys have nothing to do with the keyboard driver. There is no update driver in addition to the keyboard. There is only the Windows standard driver that can be used.

    The point is that you have Toshiba Value added Package and Flash Cards Support utility. If you purchased the M800 in the Canada, I guess that it of a model Canadian and as a result, you can download all drivers here:

  • Satellite Pro L300 how to prevent DVDs skipping due to vibrations?

    I'm reading from the DVD in a class of education of adults, but every time the tutor walks past the laptop DVD jumps. This does not happen with other laptops (many are also SP L300s) is it possible to desensitize the machine against external vibration?

    Hello

    To be honest I don't have problems with playing DVDs on my Satellite L300. Maybe you should try to clean the lens using a microfibre cloth than zero of the lens doesn t. This should be done from time to time if you can see several problems with the STRANGE.
    Check this box!

    Otherwise I think it sounds like a hardware problem. You must contact an authorized assistance service provider. Maybe the drive needs to be replaced

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - Windows does not start

    Silly person I am, and being computer illiterate I turned off my laptop while it was downloading updates.
    Now when I turn it on it shows a black screen with 2 boot options.
    1 to start repair/restore mode,
    1 to start windows normally but does not work.

    I made the recovery discs after that I bought the laptop, but I am wary about its use.
    Although I don't do a lot of work that needs to save, I only surf the net and make emails.

    There are other safer options for marketing?

    Hello

    If you have any important data on the HARD drive you can use the recovery disk to reinstall the OS again and set up the device to the factory settings.
    The recovery disc will format the HARD drive and erase everything from the HARD drive.
    The installation process does not take long, you need to boot from the recovery disk and having to follow the instructions on the screen. All that s!

    It was working fine but now not reognize even when a disc has had players in the player.

    Hmm it looks like the laser lens doesn t reads the data from the disk.

    In the case of the dirty lens, this will help get the disks still functioning, but be very careful when cleaning the lens!
