Tecra 8100 DVD - ROM SD-C2402

Hi, am new to the forum.

I have the reader above, and while it reads DVD pressed without problems, he struggles to read and access my own written records. Some discs, DVD - R written on the same game machine very well, others do not read. The same discs play and read fine in my desktop computer, sony dvd - rom or nec 3520 a DVDRW.

He refuses to read DVD - RW disks and I was wondering if there is no firmware update that will allow him to read a wide range of discs? If this is not the case, the laser can be adjusted to make it better in reading?

If none of the above, what replacement unit will fit the existing caddy so that it can be used internally? Should it be a toshiba or are there others that fits? Are all the readers of the same shape and size or not?

Sorry, it's a bit long, but I hope someone can help!

See you soon

Hi Chris

You know. There are many DVD players on the market and each has different properties. It's not easy to tell which driver can read or write better and which is worse. It's the same with CDs and DVDs in media. If your drive peut t read DVDs, I recommend you to clean the laser lens prudent. Additionally, try different DVD from different manufacturers.

All readers have occupation different pins. Your device is not compatible with every player. The best way is to contact the service partner and ask them for information more accurately.

Good bye

  • Tecra S1: DVD ROM not recognized burner (Plextor PX-608AL)

    Hi all

    I bought a DVD ROM Writer (Plextor PX-608AL) that is not recognized by my Tecra S1 with XP Pro.

    I installed the latest BIOS v2.50 as well as the latest Windows patches.

    To the search, in the Setup of the BIOS (ESC during startup), the drive is not available.

    I tested the drive in my old non - Toshiba with Win2k laptop with no problems.

    Mounting frame is also OK (tested with the original Toshiba DVD ROM)

    Y at - there a trick to getting a 3rd disc part DVD working in a Tecra notebook?
    What is generally a problem

    Thanks for reading my ad and you answers or advice

    Klaus

    Hello

    It won't be very easy get your new work of drive on your S1, I will explain why:

    Most DVD players for laptops (including your Plextor 608AL) do not have jumpers to set
    their place according to the requirements of the laptop.
    Three settings are available: master/slave/CableSelect

    Most Toshiba laptops require the CD to react as a secondary master drive, unfortunately
    a disc factory settings in bulk comes as a disk Primary Master or CS.

    There are two options how to get to missing jumpers to make it work.
    (1) thanks to a new firmware patch that has this option defined by the software based on Toshiba standard or
    (2) by a bridge of material on some pins to the back of the drive.

    As you can see, both options will cancel the guarantee of the reader and are not easy for a techie/technician.

    As for option 1) on the search for a suitable firmware... no there are none available now. I checked the official site of Plextor, but also sites of patch firmware... NO CONCLUSION.
    According to another Forum, business Plextor responded to a request for a firmware adapted with this answer:

    start of quote:
    Dear Sir.

    The drive is detected beeing as a master drive.
    This setting cannot be changed. Are there no rider to do so.
    How mount you the device to your laptop, it's up to you.
    It of different for every laptop and either found in the manual of books or you can request that information from the manufacturers for your laptop.

    Kind regards
    end quote (source: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=199145 )

    As in option 2), it requires some skills with soldering and I do not think that this forum is suitable for me to explain this procedure. You should google around to find the procedure "pin 47 ashore" on your own, taking all the risks of losing the warranty and/or the drive on your own.

  • Problem with DVD - ROM SD-C2402 (DVD multisession)

    Hello

    I have the following problem: I recorded a DVD in different stages (multisession) with Nero 6, but I can read only the first session on my laptop (Windows 98SE). On the other hand, I have no problem with multisessions CD

    Could you help me in this case?

    Thank you

    John

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure, but I think that it s a problem with the burning software and/or the media. I found information there are many problems with playback of the files after burning the multisession DVD-R, + R (Win98SE). In my opinion, you should try to burn DVDs on media RW multisession.

  • Tecra 8100 - no sound except in mic!

    I have a Tecra 8100 Windows XP.

    I can't get sound on the speakers or the headphones emitted by the computer, such as beeps, CD, etc. But if I have to reactivate the microphone, I can hear through the headset, ensure that the microphone picks up (there are a few comments without microphones, proving that the speakers work physically). All volume controls are the maximum and reactivated. All devices are enabled and correctly selected in sound control panels.

    Any help would be welcome! Is the sound card, or am I missing a driver? Could not find anything else on the web with similar symptoms. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    A good questions and I never heard of this topic which s...

    I think the fist, you should start to update the audio driver of your laptop. Therefore, you can see the Toshiba site for an update:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Before installing the latest version, you must remove the old version first and reboot the laptop.

    Maybe a reinstall of Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc could also be useful and in the worst case, it s only a hardware malfunction and it must swap the motherboard. :(

  • Tecra 8100 - CPU max, DVD - ROM and BIOS update issues

    1. I have a 500 MHz processor on my 8100. I would like to upgrade to maximum capacity. I think it's 800 MHz since it is the highest, the series went to.
    But if it's 800 MHz, any Mobile PIII on this frequency do? Or should I check for special settings of the processor?

    2. I don't have a floppy, or ways to get drive one. And I'm not going to ebay one just for an update of the BIOS. Any ideas? A bootable CD with the files will do?

    3. What is the location of the DVD-ROM and what alternative models can I use? The 8200 went up to 8 x DVD - RW. Could I go further?

    Thank you. I hope that my post is OK like this instead of three different positions.

    1 take a look at the other Tecra 8100 models to determine which processors are compatible.

    2. I don't think that would work a bootable CD, you must follow a special procedure to update the BIOS and requires a floppy drive. If there is a version of Windows, you must use that instead.

    3 upgrade the DVD player can be difficult because you must use the correct master/slave settings, and it must have the same design of the façade of the original.

    Personally, I'm selling the laptop and buy a second hand faster one. It can work out to be cheaper.

  • Tecra 8100: Video-playing DVDs only with jerking / glisten under W2K

    I can't play a normal DVD on my Tecra 8100 (P3 600 MHz, 256 MB RAM, Windows 2000 with SP4)
    without convulsions. Already have try to copy the image of the DVD on the HARD drive and play directly from the
    HDD - same result. Therefore, it is NOT a problem with the DVD drive, may be a problem

    Tested with PowerDVD 6 and VLC media player. Any special DVD playback software for the
    8100 available? Please help, try several hours to solve this problem, already
    talk with toshiba customer service!

    Hello

    Well, the Tecra 8100 is not a high-performance notebook and maybe it is not generally possible to watch DVDs jerking-free s.

    But I think you should check several parameters before we abandon ;)
    In order to check if DMA and not PIO mode is available and updated on the IDE controllers.

    Check if you have installed the latest version of DirectX.
    You said that you are using the latest version of the graphics driver. Well perhaps you will check this site:

  • CD-ROM drive does not eject on Tecra 8100

    I have a Toshiba Tecra 8100 and my CD player will not eject. It only happens when it starts.
    Any ideas, everyone, how can I solve this problem?

    Even when I get it open habit run all disks?

    Hello

    You are not able to open the drive to be on the CD. Is this good?
    Generally, each player has a small hole to open the player manually. You can use a thin wire to open the player.
    But if the reader doesn t work correctly or t doesn't accept and recognize any CD so I guess the drive is dead and only replace the drive can solve it.

  • Tecra M3 recovery DVD-ROM

    Hello

I contacted the support hotline just to hear that, as I bought it in Germany I could only receive a replacement DVD in German (and no possibility for me to order the DVD in another language... :-( Does anyone on this forum knows how to receive the restoration of DVD - ROM in English

    Any advice is welcome

    Hi Serge,

    I believe that the terms of licensing for versions of Windows XP OEM it avoid else that distributed in the original language.

    You can however buy a real English Microsoft Windows XP installation disc and install on your laptop, then you can download tools and utilities from the web site of Toshiba UK.

    Since then, the cd - dvd rom drive died while I used to be able to burn CDs... checked, but seems the drivers are fine. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It's very strange. As far as I know operating system or a specific HARD drive has no influence on the functionality of CD/DVD. It is interesting that if the drive is faulty, the engraving option has disappeared, but the reader can read the media without problem.

    If I remember correctly your unit a select drive from the Bay and if it is possible try to check with the other identical device.
