Seeing the drive DVD Satellite M50 does not turn OFF, CD/DVD drive don't read do not

Hello

I have a Satellite M50 - mx5 with a carpet * a DVD player. When I insert the CD or DVD, the player starts, turns the CD autour (the indicator light flashes)... but a few seconds later, the drive stops turning, but the DVD drive light is on.

Windows also think that the DVD drive is empty.
I also tried to boot Windows from the CD when the computer starts upward, but without success either.

Ideas for what is wrong? Is my DVD drive broken?

Thank you
Eli

Hello

Sorry to said but in my opinion, drive is dead and that the replacement allows the reader features can save.

But be aware that not every drive is supported and can be used with the laptop!
Take a look in the user manual. Sometimes the compatible players are listed.
And it s useful to know that all parts can be ordered from the ASP in your country.

have a nice weekend ;)

  • Satellite M50 does not supply power to the top

    Hello

    My laptop Satellite M50 does not supply power to the top. The laptop itself is working fine, but I can't use it as the battery is discharged. I checked the cable ca and it seems ok. The laptop has a fuse internal which I need to check? If this is not the case, what should I do?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If I understand you correctly you cannot use laptop with AC power only. Am I right about that?
    Switching between the block of AC power or the battery, do the power of electronic cards and there is not a switch so that you can check.

    When you connect your laptop to the power Jack is the power LED ON?

  • Satellite M50 does not start, go back to the screen with different start modes

    My Satellite M50-130 does not start correctly. When you turn it on, it goes to a black DOS screen, saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "It offers me different start modes: Safe Mode, with networking and command prompt. Last good Configuration known; and start Windows normally.

    I tried all the 5 options, gets the commissioning insofar as the Toshiba screen, but then with all the options, it returns to the initial screen offering the 5 modes of starting. Same thing happens when laptop works again.

    The only recent software change, I've done was an update to Norton AntiVirus/Internet Security and I suspect that Norton is at least part of my problem, see history below. I know it's the Toshiba support site, but I tried Norton so many times without success, I gave up. Plus, I'm no expert at all, so I can't be sure that it is really the source of all my sorrows. All advice welcome!

    The performance of my laptop has deteriorated seriously in the last two months. She is extremely slow, and cleaning of malware and unwanted General does not help. It began right after that I renewed the license of Norton last year and upgraded to the 2007 version. The worst downturns are always connected to direct upcoming Norton upgrade programs. I disabled the live upgrade, but programs always come to the top, and I can't stop them, a popup tells me that they are protected.

    Wireless internet is also very capricious, even if another computer on the same network works fine.
    During the last week, I had to relax a little internet security settings (from "moderate to severe" to "low to medium") because after an other update of Norton AntiVirus, I couldn't access to interactive Web sites.
    It is perhaps a coincidence because Norton AntiVirus comes with updates at least twice a week - but what else could be the problem?

    My apologies for the long rant, I am grateful for all the advice!
    Thank you
    I have.

    Hello

    I think the only way to make your system works correctly again is to restore with the cdrom of onboard catering. Simply manage to save your data from your hard drive (the best way would be to put your machine's HARD drive in a USB - HDD enclosure and copy important data on another computer), then wipe the system completely off you hdd.

    After that, the system must run again...

    Hello golden2,.

    I understand that you have a DVD picture in your SuperDrive drive, but it is not mount on the desktop and will not eject.

    Please, try the procedure described in this article using the disc is ejected.

    Get help with the SuperDrive slot on your Mac - Apple Support loading

    Do not eject discs or discs eject slowly

    1. If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to have difficulty, insert and eject a disc several times. Check the disc to see if it has a label or other material stuck to the disc which increases the thickness. Remove the label if possible.
    2. If the disc does not eject, try pressing the eject on the keyboard button. Some older keyboards may use the F12 key to eject the disc.
    3. If the disc does not eject, try dragging the icon of the disk to the trash.
    4. If the disc will still not eject, try to hold down the mouse or trackpad button after you restart the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
    5. If the disc still does not eject, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and repeat steps 1 to 4.
    6. If the disc still does not eject, Contact Apple or an provider of services authorized Apple, or make an appointment with a Store Apple Store for further assistance.

    Take care.

  • BIOS does not see the drive

    I have a laptop Inspiron 6400 which continually blue screens with Memory_management stop code 1.  I am able to boot from a Linux CD without problem.  The Dell diagnostics are all successful except the one HARD drive.  The BIOS executes engines a A015 and A017 is later, but I'm not able to start long enough to install it.

    The old HDD shows SMART errors when loading on another PC so I cloned it on a new disc.  Both are Hitachi 5400, the old model a 120 GB the new 250GB.

    How can I get the BIOS to see the drive?  I have restored the image of the old drive to the new, with a signature of disk and without.  Dell support application there is no locking BIOS goes on and any SATA drive will do.

    Thank you.

    Due to the presence of a Media Direct partition on the original disc, you can't clone the entire disk.  For the reason and how to work around it, see below.

  • Satellite A100: Does not start a recovery DVDs

    Hi guys.
    First timer here.
    I have read some of the Q & A on reboot problems the A100 since the recovery DVDs.
    It seems I have the same problems as keith.

    I want to start all over again the OS and my laptop does not start from the DVD.
    Tried the standard f12 boot from cd option. tried her "hold C on the boot option.
    Both options end with no joy.

    The screen that says "loading ramdisk image", loads the machine breaks, asks me to wait, then every time the same thing.
    The screen goes black, flashes very quickly and white and then loads from the hard disk as normal.

    Now try to hold my frustration and do something radical.
    I know that in the Q & A previous, the subject is considered as replied...
    other options?

    My following thoughts are to delete/uninstall almost every thing and try and force the thing to boot from the DVD.
    have also copied the dvd and tried to boot from the copy, always with no joy.

    Are there any other suggestions?

    Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?

    is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?

    is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?

    see you soon,
    Martin

    Hello Martin

    To be honest, it's pretty strange question. There is one thing I am interesting for:
    Is - this first time, you try to use a recovery media for the installation of the OS?

    If possible, try to get the Microsoft CD/DVD facilities to see if the same thing will happen.

    In any case, I will try to give you answers to your questions.
    > Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and to start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?
    It will not work. On the recovery of the media it is recovery image and this image must be installed correctly. You cannot "recover DVD in there. Not question

    > is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?
    I would like to know what you understand under the 'essential processes?

    > Is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?
    You can't do this somehow. If you want to 'reset' HARD drive, you must delete the existing partition or delete any OS installation. After having done that, you need to install new OS. All this will be done at the beginning of the recovery procedure.

    I really don't understand what's wrong there. Please answer to my first question, and we will continue this discussion. ;)

  • After you have installed the Windows updates, my computer does not recognize that there is a disc in the DVD - ROM thing

    I had this problem for weeks and only recently someone told me that it is perhaps for this reason.
    I tried several things to fix, and one of those who created an error where when I clicked on drive E in Windows Explorer, it looks like:

    E:\ application not found

    So, in the end, I wiped my computer and everything on it and rebooted again.

    IT TOOK FOUR HOURS.

    So, I've set up the computer as I did when I got it 2 years ago, and everything was fine. I could insert a disc, it reads that and I was able to install my game, no problems.

    Now, I have reset everything up, and there are more than 2000 updates to update installed. So I did.

    SO NOW, after all this, which took another TWO HOURS - he does not all disks again.

    I play the Sims 3 - fiercely - and so I tried to re - install all my expansion packs, but it does not now.

    I DON'T want to make that whole process again and install all my games before updating Windows, because I believe, even if I did that, once I've updated, I can't play the game, because my laptop does not recognize that the game disc is there.

    Help, please.

    I spent so much money on these games, and I love them! I don't have the money to buy a new computer.

    I have a Lenovo Ideapad

  • The Web of Toshiba site does not recognize of my drive hard number and P/N

    Hello

    There is a little less than two months, I bought my HDD Toshiba Canvio Basics 3.0 from Amazon. The hard drive has stopped working for some reason any (I drop or something, it simply stopped working).

    Of course, I was trying to use my warranty to repair or Exchange it, but the Web of Toshiba site does not recognize my serial number and product number. They are just there, black and white on the sticker on the back of my hard drive, but the site says they are not valid.

    Someone has an idea what is happening? I would rather not throw 50 euros by the window for less than two months of use.

    Product number is HDTB105XK3AA - and not to HDTB105 * E * K3AA like some sites say (including Amazon).

    Thanks for your help.

    Stand by. Have you contacted Amazon using Amazon options for repair under warranty or Exchange?

    Check please help Amazon option and collect detailed information on defective, damaged or significantly different returns.

    Two years ago I had problem with the mobile phone bought by Amazon and I send direct Amazon with bill Amazon.

    By the way: can you please post the link where you have tried to check the serial number of your HARD drive?

    Willman,

    Unfortunately you are not alone. HP has sold a lot of different models with the M2N78 - motherboard. The problem is that the manufacturer of the Board of Directors (not HP) set up a controller chip NVidia which tended to overheat. Once this chip goes, ur stuck. The SATA ports are controlled by this chip.

  • Satellite L450D does not start

    My satellite L450D won't start. He stopped and when I walk back, he back the start menu, if I select the repair, it's just a black screen. If I choose start as usual, it goes to the windows logo but it remains stuck. I also tried to start in safe mode, but it says loading files and stays stuck.

    I tried pressing 0 on start up and it does not work and I also tried the recovery disk and it does not work.
    Any ideas would be appreciated
    Thank you

    > I tried pressing 0 on start up and it does not work and I also tried the recovery disk and it does not work.
    If you have a laptop model European 0 initially upwards will help any. You must use F8 at startup to display the advanced startup options. Is the option repair my computer available?

    Anyway, OS is probably screwed and new installation OS can help. Enter the BIOS and set it to default settings. According to redo this cell phone start and press F12 to get into the boot menu. When the boot menu appears on the screen, place the recovery in the optical disc drive disk, choose the CD/DVD device from the menu and press ENTER. This will force ODD to start the reading recovery disk.

    Let us know if it works for you.
