• Re: Need Satellite L30 - 105 Vista - power calibration error - new firmware

  Hey guys =)

  Ive got a Satellite L30-105 running a Vista 32 bit. And even if I try several different (Imageburn, Nero) burning software, and with the TDK - CD, I get an error in the burning software, saying "power calibration error".

  Satellite L30 - 105 (item number PSL33E-02S026N5), use a cd/dvd burner called MAST * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s

  I wonder, can I download and install new drivers for my dvd player?

  I will also try to buy this "cleaning-cd", to try to clean the lens. cause I bought the laptop in 2007... then her grandmother as...

  But you guys don't have any what could be bad? Is it expensive to get a new cd/dvd drive for this laptop?

  Bravo and thank you!

  Hello

  Power calibration error means that the laser ODD lens cannot calibrate in the right position.
  Generally this has nothing to do with a firmware of drive but with the problem of equipment.

  In most cases, the CD/DVD drive must be replaced.

  I'm not sure how a new CD/DVD drive could be but the fact is that you cannot use any CD/DVD drive
  You need a compatible and such disc compatible and taken in charge could be ordered in a local ASP.

• Satellite M40: Power calibration error - drive cannot burn DVD - RW more

  My drive is a carpet * an oem UJ - 831S. After a screw-up partitioning job, I had to format my HD and reinstall Windows XP... and then I can not burn DVD - RW more.

  Tried many programs such as Nero and a fireman, gives an error of calibration of power from the beginning.
  Burning CD - r and CD - RW no problem however, and I can read CDs and DVDs of movies very well.

  Google and searched for a month without success, tried to blow the laser lens, but there is no dust, I tried different media, etc. I know the best answer is that the drive is done, BUT I refuse to acknowledge it because it is too big of a coincedence to stop working right after that I reinstalled XP.

  An interesting note however, my laptop has not been provided with a CD of Toshiba, so I had to reinstall manually more drivers by downloading the Toshiba site, so I have a funny feeling, this could be a thing of the software/firmware, or even a framework.

  I installed the new firmware 1.02 for the reader as well. I don't remember what the firmware was before resettlement, IE the laptop computer settings to factory default, I'd like to downgrade to 1.00 if possible.

  Experts have ideas? And is there a way I can reset the firmware?

  Maybe I could remove the drive from the system-> devices and let XP Reinstall for me?

  Hello

  > I don't know the best answer is that the drive is done, BUT I refuse to acknowledge it because it is too big of a coincidence to stop working right after that I reinstalled XP.

  Of course, it s simply to say the drive is dead because everything looks like a hardware malfunction. Most often the power calibration error appears because of the drive lens can't calibrate in the right position and thus cannot read some CD or DVD s s or it of not possible to write about them.

  But maybe you are a lucky man and might try this procedure:
  -Try to remove the drive physically from the Bay for laptop
  -Restart the unit without the drive
  -In this case the operating system should start from the HARD drive
  -Close the notebook then reinsert the drive unit in the Bay of s for laptop
  During initialization, the laptop should recognize the drive and must pick up the firmware

  Then you can check if you can burn the DVD again, otherwise you will need a new drive

• Power calibration error - Mat * a UJ - 830 s drive Satellite M45

  Hello!

  I have a problem writing files on my carpet * a writer uj-830 s. My laptop is Satellite M45. When I try to burn a CD or DVD in nore or dla, it gives the power calibration error.

  I'm sick and tired of this!
  Can someone help me please?

  Hello

  Power calibration error is known to me and revealer of truth he s just doesn't sound right.
  For the most part, this message appears if the lens of the player is unable to calibrate in the right position.

  The goal must always be calibrated before you start read or write the middle.
  If this procedure fails, the drive is not able to manage the CD or DVD and get the power calibration error.

  Frankly, in most cases, the drive needs to be replaced, because AFAIK this dysfunction is not repairable.

• Satellite L20: Cannot burn DVDs - power calibration error

  Hello

  I have problems when you try to burn the DVD on my Toshiba Satellite L20. Nero indicates a "power calibration error". Lens and drive have been cleaned up, but it did not help. Supprisingly, DVR +/-RW and CD are treated correctly. DVD player of any sort is also OK. Only burning DVDs (+/-), regardless of their manufacturer, fails.

  The next step, I wanted to put a fresh firmware in the drive which is Mat * a UJ - 841 S. I found the firmware on another site of PC companies. But the installer stops with the message that it does not apply to my reader however it was designed exactly for this kind of car.

  On the website of Panasonic, manufacturer of the drive, there is the information that support for this model is provided by the hardware vendor - in this case, it is Toshiba. But there is no firmware for this drive on Toshiba support pages.

  Can anyone help me, please.
  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Piotr

  First of all, note that after the installation of non-Toshiba firmware yourself, will lose it warranty for the reader. In any case, on a forum I found an interesting solution. You can try:

  1) click Start
  (2) select control panel
  3) click on Administrative Tools
  4) click on services
  (5) go your way down to SERVICE of the COM of ENGRAVING of IMAPI CD
  (6) right-click (on IMAPI), and then select Properties
  (7) in the middle of the window, it will say start type. Click the arrow on the right and select disabled.
  8) click APPLY

  I also noticed that Nero starts much more quickly than before. I recommend you test different blank media.

• Satellite A50 will record on Dvd, but not on a CD - power calibration error

  My Satellite A50 will record on Dvd, but not on a cd. It happens with power calibration error after about 5% of the record.
  The drive used to save at all!

  --> Power calibration error is a mistake known to me.
  I've read on various sites several suggestions and comments and the power calibration error appear because the lens of the drive can not calibrate correctly.
  It is a hardware malfunction and unfortunately nothing :(

  You will need to replace the drive

• Satellite A210-1BX - error based on the CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  I have a problem with my DVD writer! I use Nero and if I burn MP3 CD or DVD .avi files happens whenever an error based on the drive. No detail!
  But on the CD are the opder of 1/2 3/4 data!
  If I insert an .mp3 CD Windows Vista said, the CD is empty! Vista is already NEW!

  Can someone help me? Or I have to contact Toshiba, I guarantee!

  Thank you

  Hello!

  Have you checked the site factory of Nero for an update? Maybe it s just a software problem that the burning procedure fails.
  In addition, you can try another burning program. A few days ago, I tested CD BurnerXP and I was very surprised! It s a freeware program and it also contains a large number of functions that it s worth a try! ;)

  Here in the forum I noticed that the dismantling of the upper and lower filters can often solve problems with the CD/DVD drive to check of workaround from Microsoft:

• Equium M50 can burn CD but not DVD - power calibration error

  Hello

  Well, basically, that's my problem. The other day I tried to burn a dvd but kept getting the "power calibration error" tried different DVD and burning software, but still the same problem, although I can burn DVDs perfectly.

  Any ideas anyone?
  Thank you.

  Hi dude

  Unfortunately, this doesn't sound good.
  Power calibration error is known to me and it seems that there is no other way to replace the CD/DVD drive with the new.

  According to the error message is unable to calibrate s lens by car in the right position and that's why the drive can't handle certain mediums.

  See your owner's manual for compatible CD/DVD players.
  If you want you can also control the caught player in charge of a partner of service authorized in your country.

  Good luck

• Recovery DVD creation error - power calibration error has occurred

  Hello

  Tyring to create the recovery DVD, but after a few minutes the following message appears: Power calibration area error has occurred
  error code: 0e01b5-00037304
  Please check if dvd is scratched or dirty.

  I have already lost 4 DVDs (brand new in box)
  Y at - it another way to create recovery DVDs or is it enough if I have the recovery saved on drive D?
  Thanks for the help

  To be honest, it is a good idea to create recovery DVDs. It can happen that the HARD drive will be defective or for any other reason, you will not be able to access the saved on the second partition recovery image. If something goes wrong, you can use recovery DVD to install OS and have once again the factory settings.

  I don't know what the problem is here, but I advise you to use DVD-R virgins only. Buy TDK or Verbatim and it works well.
  Believe me, that I have created about 20 DVD recovery by always using the same media. Whenever it worked correctly.

  Theoretically, you can only have the recovery image on the second partition, but you can not install other OS. Score structure cannot be changed. Believe me it's much better to create recovery DVDs.

• Qosmio G20: Can't burn CD but only DVD - power calibration error

  Hello

  I am having trouble, and I think it's very strange.
  I can't record audio cd or data!

  I used sonic reducer, like nero, like windows media player... tried 3 different brands of cd'r and I can not burn audio or data files in one of these... But... I can burn DVDs... it's very strange right?

  PS: when I record with nero, I keep having this message on the relatory of the engraving: 'power, calibration error' but only i when I try to burn Cda´s... DVD recording has not this problem

  I have to update some drivers?

  Please, any help would be great, or I'll have to make a big trip to resolve the problem on the laptop store.

  concerning

  Hello

  I'm afraid you will have to make a trip: (m
  Information about the burning process was very useful.
  This confirms my fears.
  In my opinion there is not a lot to do and the drive needs to be replaced. There is a power calibration error. This happens if the lens can not calibrate correctly. If you use different media the lens must be calibrated every time before the combustion process will begin.

  I think that you will need to contact the Toshiba ASP in your country

• Satellite A200-1vp with Vista - code 39 of the CD/DVD drive failure

  Hello

  I was burning and watch DVDs on my Satellite A200 - 1 VP, with vista, since February, the last time I burned anything was a couple of weeks.

  Suddenly, there is a problem, no response when I insert a disc and my divx player says me no recorder found.

  When I am looking in the Device Manager I get the message 'windows cannot load the driver for this hardware' (code 39) "driver is damaged or missing.

  I tried to uninstall it and using the limit filter upper/lower of Toshiba, repair tool but on restart it still cannot install.

  Should I try the Toshiba Recovery Disc and lose a lot of that programs/files, as a last resort?
  Would this work?
  Anyone have any ideas?

  Here's an interesting article from Microsoft Knowledge:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  You must first access the Device Manager and should remove the reader of CD/DVD from the list of devices.
  Then should access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Reboot the laptop and check if the CD/DVD drive would work again!

  My CD/DVD drive is most recognized, and when I go to Device Manager and click on CD/DVD I'm informed that the cdrom.sys file is there but cannot be loaded.

  An error number 39 is reported.
  Any advice would be greatly appreciated, but please keep things simple to the actions of a single line if possible.

  Of course, you can get a few tips ;)

  He error code 39 is very common issue and can be resolved easily.
  See this MS knowledge base article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us

  So first of all remove the CD/DVD drive device manager.
  Then access the registry using the regedit command and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

• Re: Satellite A660 - 2nd HARD drive instead of the CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  I found a few solutions to this problem ([solution | http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=7&chapter=0]), but none of them are dedicated to A660.

  There is no device dedicated to tosiba a660?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I know Satellite A660 can't stand not a thin Bay select only some models like the M400 Portege, Portege M750, Tecra M9, Tecra S3 or S4 Tecra, Portege M700 support this feature

  So 2nd HARD drive instead of the CD/DVD drive does not seem to be possible
