DVD-SuperMulti drive (+/-R double layer)

My Toshiba C655 S5512 super multi dvd writer went out and I was looking online but can't really find replacement drives and was wondering if a L855-S5243 PSKA8U-01Q00R would be backward compatible with my PC?

LightScribe SuperMulti DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support is no longer able to read all lightscribe discs(Blank or Containing Data)

Hi,
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment
Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
Could anyone please at this splendid forum take some of their precious time
out to really reply my questions and solve my problems?
FIRST OF ALL:
My HP Pavilion Laptop is about 3 years old.
My
sister's Dell Inspiron laptop is 3 years old.
My HP laptop is well-cared, as opposed to my sister's Inspiron Dell laptop, which is always thrown in dust without caring at all. Also, its battery is always inserted even when it is fully charged while the laptop is plugged in to the main power supply.
However, my laptop is either used on only battery, or on plugin. Also, it is kept from the dust. But, I really found that the battery of the Dell laptop still lasts about three and half hours, and there is no problem cooling fan is not properly properly.
I only remember one thing differently done on my laptop battery which is I charged it fully, then I stored it without using it for about four months, then when I reused it, I found it got worse over time. I.e. first time of using it after storing,I found
it empty, then I charged it again fully, however, then it lasted about 2 hours, then 1 and half hours, next an hour, now it is only lasting about 20 minutes without performance. If there is high performance, then
the computer shuts down suddenly.
My problem is follows:::
First: Whenever I inserted any Containing Data OR Data CD/DVD-RLightScribe discs, I found that HP optical driver was
unable to read them. When clicking on the optical disc drive 'double-click' while disc was inserted, then I found that disc opened as this way(NOTE: With a CD/DVD player is grayed out)
I was told 'I suspect the culprit might be hardware and lightscribe dive might be
corrupt. Please sent it to service center to check. In addition, this thread could be as a reference:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-hardware/media-in-cddvd-drive-is-not-readable/794fe26a-7e47-45c4-a50b-0af2ed53f75b'
Since no one replied to me at HP forums, although my HP laptop is one of their products, I had to post my problem here to know if my driver is corrupted and needs to be replaced or not.
Blank Or Used(containg data) CD/ DVD ±R/RW lightscirbe is unable to be read by optical drive
When clicking on drive 'duble-click', I found it opens like a USB FlashDrive or With a CD,DVD player, however,
: Bare in mind that 'with CD/DVD Player'
is grayed out)
Not Blank(containing data) CD/ DVD ±R/RW NON -Lightscirbe disc opens normal:
Blank CD/ DVD ±R/RW NON-lightscirbe opens normal(Opens like

I tried running the below command line to fix potential disk issue 'Chkdsk/r /f'
I cleaned the drive, discs, and so on.
I have uninstalled the all third-party data recording software.
I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
I have recovered my system from the HP Factory Recovery discs.
I have tried opening all those LightScibe discs not opening on my HP optical drive, on a Dell optical drive, and all of them were opened well, although Dell optical drive did not have a lightscribe feature at all., nor third party disc recording software.
However, the problem is still with opening the discs LIGHT-SCRIBE.
Thus, my questions are:
How to determine if the drive is corrupted and needs to be replaced with another one.
I think there something needed to be done on the BIOS Of my HP laptop[[[A similar problems happened on my Desktop computer's optical drive which is as follows (ALL discs are opened as empty by Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer) ---while
my optical drive of my desktop was connected to the
primary slave IDE, and the HDD was connected to the primary master IDE, the optical drive and hard disk are functioning well. However, I remember that while burning an image with Nero essential V: 5, something went wrong, and
then the Optical Drive of My Desktop Computer (HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22NP20) became NOTrecognised/Installed on
BIOS, although it was still shown on the device manager as a recognised device. Also, it was listed on my computer, however, when entering a disc(blank or with data) into the drive, I found it was not recognised, and it opened empty(no files
at it), although it contains data. Thus, I decided to boot to BIOS, and clicked on 'Autodetection for IDE', then I found that only HDD was still shown as installed on BIOS. However, the optical drive was not. Th I tried clicking on it on BIOS and then
clicking on 'enter' to try to let the device be re-recognized. However, that
made no difference. I had to take part my computer ,and then reconnected the optical drive onto thesecondary slave IDE , and let HDD connected to the same
primary master IDE. Then, I found that the problem solved and all discs were read normally. Aslo, optical drive became installed on BIOS.

How much does it cost?

Did you try unsinatalling LightScribe application then checking the status ?

If you had had a look again at my first post, you would have seen that I said that I have done some things, among of which is: I have uninstalled the Cyber DVD suite, lightscribe system software
which came pre-installed with my HP pavilion Notebook.
Yes, you're right the two threads below are concerned about one issue.

However, this thread contains more precise details and screen shots about the problem. I was not able to understand whether all lightscribs were not unable to be read or not. However, I now recognized that, and I recognized that only all LightScribe(empty
or used) discs are unable to be read. furthermore, that other thread got far too longer to be followed.
Moreover, I would like you to take some time out to answer my problem about Lighstscribe discs since I am going to purchase 'A battery, Cooling Fan' From the HP agent in Yemen, which is far away from me about 1000 Km. Thus, If my optical disc drive was corrupted
as well, then I would be requesting the 'optical disc drive' as well from the HP along with 'Battery, Cooling Fan' .

DVD-SuperMulti Drive on Satellite Pro notebook

I'm looking to purchase a 15.6'' Toshiba Satellite Pro PSCMMA001001 Notebook.
Is the Optical Disc Drive: DVD-SuperMulti Drive provided suitable for recording back-ups of large (genealogical) databases? Ie is it fully recordable for data, photographs, etc.?
Thank you.

Hi
Using posted part number I found specification for this Satellite Pro C50. It has DVD-SuperMulti Drive.
Of course you can use it to save all your important data to empty medias like CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW.
I dont know which burning application is originally installed. Check it out and test functionality.
Of course you can remove it from the system and install your favourite burning application.

Can the LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive burn dual-layer dvds?

It's a LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive, I think it's part number is 575781-501. It came in my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-380t. I was customizable up to blue ray but I stuck with the standard. Now I'm not sure whether I should invest in Dual Layer DVDs, because I don't know if my drive is capable of writing to them. Does anyone know?

According to these two sources, yes the drive is capable of writing to dual layer DVDs.

Need Vista driver for CD/DVD SuperMulti Drive PA3761

Hi there,
hoping you can help me.
I've just purchased an external CD/DVD drive - PA3761 - the SuperMulti Drive.
When first connected to my PC - running VISTA - the computer searched for drivers to install and then came back with the message - no drivers found please install.
Looking at the Toshiba website I can't seem to find any reference to this product or drivers for it.
Can anyone please help?
thanks,
Justin

hi JWestcott,
seems to be that there is no driver for vista available....
go to the device manager and find out which device code (dev_yyy&pid_yyy) is shown maybe you can search for...
there might be a generic driver for the usb chipset....
try the downloadpage for other countries as well....

LightScribe DVD SuperMulti Drive / CD Burner

Dear Community:
My Drive all of a sudden does not want to read CD's or CD-R's. I was uploading previously burned CD-R's into my new computer and it was working fine. I got the the 5th CD-R in the middle of the rip it just stopped. I cancelled the Rip, ejected the disc and put is back in. Now when I put a Burned CD-R, the Drive makes a funny noise. I put in a DVD and it purrs like a kitten...It seems to read everything else. Help! :smileysad:
My system is Vista 64-bit.

First check the Device Manager and uninstall the dvd/crom disc drive driver and restart the computer. Then wait 2 minutes and try to do a test read or burn from a cd or dvd and if there's still issues or it's it's noisy, assuming that cables are in properly conencting to the disc drive i would say you may need to buy a new burner.
So I recommend a new Lightscribe drive from newegg.com
They go around $20-$35.

Multi 8x DVD R/RW double layer support?

I'm a new computer owner with an inherited Presario CQ50-115NR. Please tell me if the Optiarc DVD RW AD-7580 S with FH-02 revision (or, as it was described in the ad, Super Multi 8x DVD R/RW with Double Layer Support) can play and record CDs, too? Thank you.

Your notebook does have a lightscribe supported DVD drive (LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support). You can validate that from specs on the website over here
There is another way to check that. Slimline drives may not have enough space for a LightScribe logo on the drive tray cover, but a LightScribe logo sticker should be affixed to all LightScribe-enabled notebooks. To make sure, the presence of the disc encoder sensor can verify that a drive is LightScribe-enabled. Looking straight down on the spindle after the drive tray is opened, then look for presence of a LightScribe disc encoder sensor as an indicator of LightScribe capability.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, humain.
I have been burning DL DVDs from another Mac for quite some time now. Never had any problems with the DVDs being unreadable on my PowerBooks except when there was a bad batch of discs, which then meant only the Mac that burned the disc could read it.

Qosmio G10-133 Question about DVD COMBO Drive replacement

Hi
my laptop has a DVD driver labled UJ-830B but the device managaer reports that it is a UJ-830S. I have posted before saying I haven't been able to burn DVDs. It gets part way through then errors out saying unable to burn. I have used various software and disc makes but all to no avail.
I purchased an external burner which burns no problems, however it does defeat the object of having one built into the lapotop!!!
Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement drive? I have already tried an NEC 5540A drive, but my laptop didn't recognise that it was installed. I assume it is something to do with Master/Slave?? If the laptop doesn't recognise the drive I am obviously unable to flash any firmware.
Somebody please help.....

Hi
Seems you have already noticed that the drive replacement is not so easy.
The internal notebook drives dont support any jumpers like the external drives for desktop PCs and the settings are fixed and in my knowledge not changeable
I found some compatible drives numbers but unfortunately, I did not find the drive names.
It seems this are any internal part numbers.
DVD Super Multi Drive
- MATSU****A (G8CC00021610) UJ830
- MATSU****A (G8CC0001S610)
DVD Super Multi Drive (supporting Double-Layer)
- MATSU****A (G8CC00021611)
- TEAC (G8CC00024611)
However, the service partner could provide you a information about compatible drive.

BRAND NEW LENOVO K300 5316 1BU (WON'T BOOT FROM DVD SUPERJULTI DRIVE/CD-WRITER

Would appreciate info from the Lenovo Community as to what might be the problem and a fix.
I just received my new Lenovo K300 5316 1BU. As one of the first tasks I made a Lenovo Repair Disc.
To test my disc I rebooted my computer with disc in drive. During reboot I pressed F12 to get to the proper menu.
I chose the cd/dvd drive as the first boot option. It showed that the drive was recognized stating Boot Priority but then went directly into my Windows 7 deskop.
I called Tech Support and tried everything with them with the same results.
They instructed me to do a complete System Restore to see if that corrects the problem.
I have not done this yet since I will do a backup of my present setup, not to loose all my hard work and time setting up all my programs and settings.
Before I do a complete system restore I would appreciate any comments or suggestions from the community regarding this situation.
Do you also believe that doing a full system restore will help or should I send this computer back?
I do find it hard to believe that a computer less than a week old would have this problem with the DVD Supermulti Drive /CD writer.
If I still have no success after a full restore or a resolve from the Lenovo IdeaCentre Community then I will return this computer back to TigerDirect.
To conclude I would like to mention the following regarding this brand new Lenovo K300 5316 1BU top of the line desktop computer.
One of the reasons I purchased this particular desktop was because of the Lenovo Windows 7 ENHANCED operating system that Lenovo has been advertising so much.
To my surprise and disappointment, this BRAND NEW Lenovo Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit does not have the Enhance version, it is Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit only.
Apparently, Lenovo is making some with Enhanced and some without.
Finally, another reason I purchased the 1BU version is because it has a TV Tuner.
To my surprise again, the TV Tuner card in this model does not have an FM Tuner, which almost all TV Tuner Cards have. So, as a result, no FM Radio with Windows 7 Media Center.
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post, but thought it was important to share with the community.
Comments and Help will be most appreciated.

What brand DVD drive did you install? Some third-party drives won't boot by holding down the C key at startup, because they lack the Apple/OEM drive's ROM programming. I recently installed a Memorex (manufactured by LG) DVD burner in a B&W G3, which is recognized by Toast and (with PatchBurn) the iApps. The compatibility problem occurs when selecting a CD/DVD as the startup disk using the Startup Disk Preferences/control panel or by holding down the C key during the restart. In either case, the drive ejects the disk during the POST, so that I have to immediately close the tray and hold down the C key again, to persuade it to boot from the disk. Is this similar to what you're experiencing?

Portege R600 - Is the DVD drive compatible with double layer disks?

The Australian specs for the *R600 PPR61A* state that the unti contains: *DVD SuperMulti Double Layer (7mm)*
The R600 however does not recognise any blank double layer DVD discs using either Windows burning tools or Toshiba Disc Creator.
Is this a mistake in the specs (being completely misleading), or do I have a driver/configuration problem?
Australian specs are available here: http://203.56.127.51/%2fTOPIC%2fproduct_details%2fproduct%2f20090325%2f Toshiba_PortegeR600_PPR61A-00300R_Specification_Brochure_Mar09.PDF

Hello
Are you really sure that your ODD can recognize double layer DVD’s?
I mean on the specification of the ODD you can find a mark (#) and on the second page you find the following information about this:
#=> +CD/DVD write capability may vary depending on the type/brand of media utilized+
So I think your model is equipped with a non double layer ODD.
But you can check this for example with Nero as Chad suggested.
What does Nero say?
