• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4): DVD player flashes continuously

  Hello
  I have been using a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4) computer laptop for a while now without any major problems.

  My dvd drive (tsst TS-L632H harvest) no longer works since a few days now... Specifically, its LED is permanently orange flashing. The drivers are up to date. The eject button does not work either. No disc is inserted. The car seems fine in Windows Device Manager...

  If opened manually and if the disc is in the drive, I can't see all the data. Cannot start the disk either.

  I'm running Vista 32 bit SP1 with the latest bios available on the toshiba site (2.40).
  Since then, I need to fix the 'black screen' often reported problem before the login prompt, by using the windows installation disc

  Any help would be really appreciated.

  Thank you!

  According to your page, you are not able to boot from any CD or DVD, not even the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  Am I wrong?

  To be honest, I've no idea why such question which went past but I think it s related to the hardware failure and that the replacement could help
  I put t know how old laptop is but perhaps the warranty is valid and it could be replaced for free

• Satellite Pro A100: CD/DVD player will not play the audio CD or video DVD

  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 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

  After a year since I bought my laptop, the optical drive started having problems reading most of my DVD discs, even those written with her self.
  I want to replace the unit, I did this operation with my previous laptop too but then I used a maintenance manual.
  Anyone know where the maintenance manual for download?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The replacement is not complicated and you don t need textbooks. The reader is fixed with a screw. You can find it in the bottom corner near the memory module cover. Remove it and turn off the player.

• Satellite Pro L40 - 17F: everything by playing the DVD player window flickers

  I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 - 17F with all the updates of Windows Vista (Home) applied. This includes those optional (for example driver updates)

  I came to be used for the first time (outside the application of windows update) and play a movie. The player (not the controls, just the player) window flashing continuously, even on the menu screens. It almost seems that the film was shot with an old film camera and is played on a projector.

  I have not really looked at it properly yet, but I wonder if this is a common problem...

  Someone at - he had the same thing? What about a solution?

  Not easy to say that this could be what software do you use?
  Have you tried different players? If this is not the case, check this box!

• Satellite Pro A300D - cannot play movies on a Toshiba DVD player

  Hi guys,.

  When I play movies in Toshiba DVD player I get the following error message: "unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after the end of the application. TEMPRO, I installed and tried to install all updates - some of them were for different hardware so wouldn't install.

  I get a similar problem in Windows Media Player "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card. VLC player works fine. The drive otherwise normally functioning.

  It's the same problem, as described in this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=201029&tstart=0, but all the answers are a similar problem with HD DVD on a different model (P200).

  Anyone know how I can fix this problem? I'm not sure I can be bothered to go back and reinstall Vista etc...

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  According to the Toshiba DVD Player error message: are you trying to watch DVDs on an external monitor or TV?
  In your case, I will try to reinstall the DVD playback software. This means delete the current version and then restart your computer. Then download and install the latest software from Toshiba DVD player.

  But to be honest: it's that everything works with VLC media player as it s very big and small media player that can play all audio and video files. Isn t it? ;)

• Satellite L - cannot access a Toshiba DVD player

  My laptop Satellite Pro L-series came with windows and upgrade to Win 7, which I am now running. I tried to read a disc that I burned on a comptuer spent, but tells me it's the wrong region (huh?) - my region is set to 4. So I gave up on it for the Nuncio and switched to the Toshiba DVD player.
  When I try to open it, I get a message that module (s) is / are missing. If the restart does not work, re - install the application.

  How can I do this?
  TIA

  Hi billym,.

  Normally, you can download a newer version from the official website of Toshiba DVD player if search you for downloads available for your laptop model:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  But if you have a DVD with a different region code, you need to change the region code of your CD/DVD drive (Device Manager > properties of the CD/DVD drive).

  But don t forget that region code can be changed 4 times

• Satellite Pro L40 PSL25E need CD/DVD TS-L462C driver

  I have a Satellite Pro L40 PSL25E and need to reload the driver for a TSST TS-L462C T010 integrated CD/DVD unit.

  Can someone tell me where to get the driver and how to load it.
  The audit on the web, they talk about the so-called 'flash' using the for install?

  The only way I know about installing drivers is the Device Manager (which tells me that my driver is missing or damaged).
  The windows version is XP.

  Please can someone help.

  Do you need a driver for the reader of CD/DVD TS-L462C?

  Sorry, but the driver doesn't exist. The Windows operating system uses the Microsoft own driver. These drivers are already provided in the Windows operating system and a 3rd party driver is really not necessary.

  May I ask what's wrong with the TS-L462C drive?

• Cannot read and write CD/DVD on Satellite Pro L40 - 17F

  I have problems with my laptop (model: Satellite Pro L40 - 17F Cel - M 540 1.83/1GB/120GB 15.4).
  I have problems with the dvd player. When I got the laptop I managed to install a few things but now - on a two weeks later, I can't read or write CDs or DVDs.

  I checked many solutions to fix but does not work. I uninstalled the driver and restarted my computer and it reinstalled the same as that which does not once again.

  Please help me!

  Hi mate,

  may I ask what fire you´ve applications installed on your machine? I ask for the following reason:

  Several installed burning applications may interfere each other, so could not stop the drive works properly.
  Please, try the following:
  Find somewhere a linux cd or something that you can start from, and then try to start and when the disc turns and starts him CD then you know that your problem is not hardware partners, it s more a problem located somewhere in your Windows operating system.

  If the player wouldn even turn or start the inserted media then you know that the reader has some hardware malfunction and must be replaced.
  I guess you still have a warranty on your machine, if yes, then contact the nearest authorized service provider in your country and tell them your problem.
  They are able to help you and solve this problem.

  Welcome them

  If you want to watch DVD movies on your computer with the help of a reader DVD Toshiba but the captain must be indicated on the external screen follow these steps:

  When you have connected the HDMI cable (other) outside on the screen, use FN + F5 and switch to the external display only. When you see the desktop on the beginning of the display external Toshiba DVD player and I think that everything should be OK.
