Satellite U300-13U - can't read or burn a DVD

I recently had to install Windows 7 Professional and Office 2010 on my Satellite U300-13U, as it appeared, that I had a virus. My DVD didn't work initially after the new facility, about a month ago. But now I can't play a DVD, nor can I burn on a DVD.

Can you help me? Diane

HI diane83,

Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager can and you will see if you open my computer? Maybe it s just a driver problem and so the CD/DVD drive isn't recognized properly. Check Device Manager and if you can see the reader of CD/DVD right click it and select uninstall. This will remove the drive, and if you restart the computer it will automatically be recognized.

Check this box!

  • Where can I get a minPCI card for Satellite U300-13U Bluetooth?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U300-13U which when I bought it I thought a bluetooth but it doesn't...

    There is a mini PCI express slot I can see next to the WiFi card, but I can't find anywhere that sells a mini PCIe card bluetooth, can anyone recommend one or a Duel WiFi / Bluetooth.

    I use a bluetooth USB dongle but want it built in.

    Thank you!

    I guess that your laptop has the part PSU30E-xxxxx number. All models with PSU31E-xxxx have BT on board. All these books have BT label on the lower side with part number for the BT module. Maybe someone can give you this number.

    To be honest, you must be sure if BT update is possible or not. I imagine that you will not be able to be upgraded. If possible, contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask if anything like that is possible. They must know this.

  • Re: Satellite U300-13U: Question on installing XP

    A friend is considering the Toshiba Satellite U300-13u, which comes with Vista.
    He wants to install XP. XP drivers compatible with this model?

    Just a note;
    You should first take a look in the installation instruction txt file is also downloadable from the page of the Toshiba driver before you start the installation procedure.
    The proper installation order is required for all drivers!

  • Whenever I insert a USB in my PC is not autoplay, I do not have available to all group policy, and I can't read or write CD/DVD

    Original title: "Autoplay, group policy and CD/DVD"

    Hello

    I have two questions actually worry,

    First of all, I have Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 installed on my PC

    My first problem is that whenver I insert a USB in my PC it doesn't autoplay and the option is not available at all even when I get clich the drive itself, I went Microsoft support and installed security update 950582 and still no hope. I also can't find the NoDriveAutoRun or NoDriveTypeAutoRun in the registry because I don't have the key explore in both policies.

    In addition, I have not available to all group policy.

    My second question is that I can't read or write CD/DVD even if I have the driver installed, I tried the DVD Microsoft repair but it shows that the repair failed.

    Thanks in advance and hope to receive a solution soon.

    SAS ING.

    Hi Sas Eng,

    There are a few solutions to the question of automatic playback on the following link:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Troubleshoot-AutoPlay-problems

    And if the solutions provided for the DVD ROM Lorien did not help, as you say, it is probably a hardware fault.

    Try the steps are on the link and let me know if it helps!

    No need to worry about the disk version. He would just install an update anyway once it has been installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number, you need to activate.

  • Satellite U300-13U - iTunes has detected a problem with the audio configuration

    Please can someone help me? I have a laptop U300-13U and that you have installed iTunes on it. However, when I open iTunes I get an error message saying 'iTunes has detected a problem with the audio configuration and may not play correctly' which is an understatement - it does not at all!

    I uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, but in vain. I have searched and exhausted the iTunes support boards but have nowhere either. The sound is fine as I can read CDs with no problems at all. The only suggestion I can get is that there may be a problem with the audio device magnet is not Apple and vice versa.

    Does anyone have AN idea at all as to what might be going on here? I'm completely out of my depth, I'm just a simple girl who wants to play his music!

    Thank you so much.

    Hello

    I don t use iTunes so I m not an expert player but first of all, you must give us some important information:
    -What operating system do you use?
    -Are you using the factory settings (Toshiba Recovery disk) or your own version of Windows
    -Do you have the yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?

    OK, iTunes says that there is an audio configuration problem so do you trying to update the audio driver? If this isn't the case, you should try it.
    See the Web from Toshiba site for an update and see what happens. Then validate your result:

  • Satellite M30: the drive will not read or burn a dvd - rw - Xp SP2

    I have my carpet and M30 * one dvd not read or burn dvd - rw. Tried driver implemented to date, but without operating. Help, please!

    Hi Khalifa,

    Until you can play a DVD - RW on your M30 the DVD must be finalized. In order to record on a blank DVD - RW the drive must be formatted first (using something like Nero INCD). If all goes well, then you should be capable of both wathch and burn DVD - RW discs. :-)

  • Satellite Pro M40X - can not read MMC - SD card more than 1 GB

    Hello
    I have a Satellite Pro M40X but it read only MMC/SD with a capacity of 1 GB. If I try with 2GB or 4GB nothing appens. What can I do? What drivers I try to upgrade to Windows XP to be able to read cards up to 4 GB?

    thanx

    Hello

    The drive will not read the 4 GB SD card due to hardware limitation!
    CA? s not a software but a hardware problem!

    Even you will update the driver, it will not help get the 4 GB SD card running!
    I recommend to use an external card reader which can be connected to the USB port!

  • Satellite Pro M70 can't read 4 GB SD card

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 PSM76E and a 4 GB SD card. The laptop can not read the card. How can I do to work properly?

    Problem is that older models of laptops have problem reading last SD cards with a capacity still more and more. In my opinion it has not much to do. Maybe you can try to install the driver for some newer model laptop SD card reader. Perhaps driver for A100.
    I have too many M70, but I don't use SD cards. I prefer that USB keys because there is no any type of restriction.

  • Satellite U300-13U - DVD playback is choppy

    Hello

    I have a U300 13U and since it is I was unable to watch DVD because reading is so jerky. I tried many different programs to DVD player and it makes no difference. I tried to install many video codecs, but the problem persists. The DVD player plays audio CDs fine so I don't think it's a problem with that. I thought that there would be other things are:

    -problems with the video/graphics card?
    -need a upgrade memory (although 2 GB should be more than enough for a DVD)?
    -problems with vista (and it's General drain on the CPU)?

    I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems and if someone thinks it is worth upgrading the RAM or install XP?

    All advice appreciated.

    Becky.

    Hello

    Have you tried the VLC media player for DVDs? A few days ago, I also noticed some problems with reading DVD on Windows media player, but with VLC media player, I've never had a problem.
    The player is a free and easy to use software. Use Google to find out.

    You use the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
    Have you installed all the service packs and updates?

  • Satellite U300 - How can I take it apart?

    Hello all, it seems that my machine is running hotter and hotter (temperature of base) and the fan is all the time.

    In my view, the machine would benefit from a good old clean inside the dust.
    I scoured the web for a (detailed that I'm not an expert) disassemble the guide to open it and clean it, but I failed to find it.

    Is anyone aware of a guide on how to do it on this machine?

    Thank you
    R

    Hello!

    I put t know how to disassemble the Satellite U300, but these technical manuals are not for the public. Only an authorized service provider has such manuals.
    Maybe you will find a work around in the internet, but don t forget that laptop disassembly is a little tricky and you delete a large number of parts and screws.
    In my opinion it's better, you go to an ASP.

    But if you want to clean the laptop, you can use compressed air jet. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.
    Check it!

  • Satellite A100-775 - can't read memory stick pro duo of

    Can not read the Memory Stick * pro Duo * of my DSLR Sony to edit the photos

    Y at - it an update, or maybe a solution via USB-adapter?

    I put t have Memory Stick Pro Duo cards, but I looked in the user manual and the card reader supports SD/MS/MS Pro/MMC/cards xD and it looks like that the MS Duo Pro cards are not supported.

    I think you need to use an external card reader. I bought a Kingston external card reader and it works fine.

    In the last two months, (shortly after my warranty expired, ARGHH!), my Sony DW-Q58A ceased to read or burn or even recognizing CDs all together.  Is this a common problem?  It is simple to fix?  I'm not at all afraid to start opening that baby, not that it is more under warranty but it wouldn't hurt to have some guidance on what to do.  not reading CD not during boot or the other, is not associated with windows.

    Can someone help me, please?

    Hello

    It is a never-ending story.
    Many media doesn t work with my drive. I have tested many media from different manufacturers and now I use a some of the TDK media.

    Generally, you will find in the manual the user who must be preinstalled on your laptop a list with compatible and supported CD and DVD.
    These media should work properly and the reader must read and burn without any problem.

    But of course, sometimes a failed drive can be a reason for no reading or no combustion.
