CD/DVD drive problem on Satellite L655-S5097

When put any CD or DVD disc in drive and click on CD/DVD icon in Computer the drive tray is ejecting and "Insert a disc" pop-up window arised. Laptop is almost new and this problem exists from the beginning of the use. Is drive defected or may be there is any option because of which disc drive doesn't work.

hi chelsea50,
if you are in doubt that itunes causes this problem the easiest thing is to deinstall it...
but you should try to delete the filter drivers of the drive - there are already some posts in this forum - use the search function
the badest thing would be that your drive is defective.. but check out all other possibilities before....

Compatible DVD Drive problem on Satellite U200

I am over in Iraq and my commander's cd drive quit on the Satellite U200 laptop. The drive that was in there was UJDA765 which cannot burn DVD's. The problem with that drive is it quit seeing DVD's and the CD part only worked sometime and then it made noise.
I looked for a compatible DVD burner to replace it with and found UJ-822B. Several sites said it was compatible and I found people that say they were using it. Can anyone tell me if it really is? I already had the drive shipped here. Is there something that I need to do to get the laptop to see it? It does not show up in the hardware section, but it has power and opens and closes correctly. I have moved to the point of considering flashing the bios, I have done that many times but do not see any benefit as the changes in the new BIOS.
If I was wrong, can someone tell me a DVD burner that is compatible?

Thanks Barrie,
I ordered the 765 and installed it, however now I am getting the pxe driver error on bootup and the drive is not found. I checked the in the bios and saw no problems, I did change the order of bootup and that did not resolve the problem as I found that recommended on several sites.
I removed the battery and checked the connections but the plug it plugs into is soldered to the board so that is not a problem. The old drive had a cd/dvd (755 model), it is still found but only the CD works, the dvd does not.
I thought about replacing the laser on the drive itself, but now that I have the new drive and it still is not working I am not sure. I am going to replace the bios with the newest version but other than that I think this laptop is just shot.

Broken DVD Drive on my Satellite M35x laptop

Hi,
the CD-DVD Drive on my Satellite Laptop apparently is broken and I was thinking about purchasing an external CD-DVD Drive and would appreciate HELP.
In the event that I need to RE-Install Windows, would I be able to do this with an External CD Drive since I believe I need to boot from the CD to begin the reinstall and I am not sure if the Laptop will "recognize" the external drive?
Thank you,
Bob

Hi Barrie, I purchased a (used) Drive for a M35X Laptop and to a non techie, it looked just like the one that was inside the Laptop but when I slide the replacement DVD-CD Drive in the opening, it did NOT "click-in" (connect to the MB) and wehn i turned the Laptop on and ent to My Computer, their was NO DVD-CD identified.
I tried install new HW but again, the Drive was not recognized so my deductions are that the Drive may look just like the other one but it is not meant for this system, the drive could be OK but the connection to the MB is defected, their is something not functioning properly on the MB or most likely, I don't know what I am talking about and need ALL the H-E-L-P that I can get!
Thanks,
Bob

DVD drive problems : should I buy the new iMac ?

Hello, being new to these discussions, I don't know if this question was answered before.
My last iMac's DVD drive stopped working after 3 years use. And from reading the discussions, this problem seemed quite common.
But 3 years is not bad, considering the posts talking about the DVD drive not working on NEW iMacs.
Does anybody know if Apple is going to do something about this soon ? My computer is a working tool, and I cannot spend time or money on repairs all the time.
Thank you.
A Mac user since 1985

+"Well, since nobody has an answer, I suppose I will wait until I no longer see the DVD drive problems on the discussions."+
That might be a while. I bought my iMac Oct. 15 and the DVD drive is already not responding. Backing up files, I had burned 2 DVDs from the same package, Toast says this one is a CD-RW and unwritable, and makes a noise like it's trying to eject it but nothing happens. Disk utility says the DVD drive is empty and nothing shows up in the Finder. Using Terminal (drutil eject) and starting up with the mouse button held down makes the same noise as trying to eject it in Toast, with the same results - nothing.
Still trying to find the receipt to take it back & get it repaired. I sure miss the hole for the paper clip.

Problem with cd/dvd drive on my Satellite 1900-303

Hi Every body
I bought a Satellite 1900-303 in 2003. Recently, it's cd/Dvd drive stopped to work properly. whenever I put a Cd in the driver it assumes that the CD is a audio cd. if the CD is completly Audio cd or partly contained audio files it opens the cd without any problem. but if cd is data CD or software CD after trying along time my system hangs up. I change the settings of the properites of Cd drive in Autoplay section from Music file to other options such as "mixed content". but after inserting CD into the drivers it agains changes automaticaly to the "music file". I showed my notebook an expert in computer system and facility, he tried to reinstall windows XP to solve the problem but it didn't work. Since the driver was not working he used external driver to install windows XP. but the problem has not been solved.
Is there anybody who knows by accident what I should do to recover it?
Awaiting helpful advices.
Vahed

HI,
did your friend installed the XP from a MS Cd or from the Toshiba recovery CD?
At my Toshiba notebook the autoplay section is also setted to Music file and works properly!
When did this failure occured for the first time? Did you used the MS System recovery option at Start - Accessories - system prog. - System recovery
Perhaps the backsetting of your system solve the problem!
You can also check if a firmware update is available for your drive! (If it is a Toshiba drive go to http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/index.asp?nav=HOM&page=HOM&frame=home

Satellite M300 - DVD Drive Problem

Hi
I have a Satellite M300 and when I insert a DVD movie to watch the DVD drive spins and hums but the disk is not read. The drive stays like this and when I try to eject the disk there is no response at all form the computer.
When I try to eject through windows media player it says the drive is busy, but still nothing happens.
The drive continues to spin and hum loudly without reading the disk and the only way to stop the disk spinning and to eject the DVD is to restart the computer and eject during load up before the computer tries to read the disk again.
I am only a novice at notebooks so any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Also the computer was purchased in Australia and I am currently living in Germany
Please reply in English
Thanks Daniel

its is a strange problem, it will do it with more so original DVD's, but does happen on occasion with burnt or created disks
with original disks it might happen a few times then on an off chance the disk will be read and works fine, but more so it is not read

Satellite U205 - DVD drive problems

I purchased a Satellite U205-S5057 last year with Vista on it. For the first month, every video file burned just fine. After that, I've downloaded all sorts of codecs and trial versions of DVD burning software just to have it keep burning DVDs.
After all the downloads, naturally, they started to conflict. I ran a system recovery and hoped it would clean out all the conflicts. I put some videos on a CD-rw and transferred them to my notebook to burn. When I clicked on the D:/ it said "D:/ no application". Then I re-installed Realplayer from the internet and now it burns in Realplayer 1 out of every 10 or so tries.
Does anyone know why I have so many problems with my CD/DVD drive? Also, it always says D:/ is a DVD drive even when I put in a CD. Is this right?

Hi
Did you try to remove the upper and lower filters from the registry entry?
Not? Ok try this:
First of all remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
Then remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Finally reboot the machine and restart the system.
The Windows OS should recognize the drive and should reinstall it again.

Satellite A60 DVD drive problems

Hi,
I have a Satellite A60 ( 18mths old now ) - When i 1st got it the DVD writer was D.O.A - so i sent it off and had it replaced.
It has worked fine since then until recently when the DVD drive just wouldnt recognize anything - CD's or DVD's
Tried everything with that unit - but at the end of the day figured the drive had gone.
Purchased another one ( SD-R6252 ) and lo-and-behold the same thing is happening.
Every diagnostic I run says the drive is OK - but there is no disc in it.
I have reinstalled windows from the factory recovery discs -
Updated the BIOS
Tried to update the drive firmware - but the update said it wasnt necessary.
Tried it with Nero, Windows, InterVideo - Nothing.
As it is now a work machine I cannot afford the 3 months turn around time to send it off and have it looked at ( thats how long it took last time ) and my nearest Toshiba dealer is up at the other end of the country.
Any suggestions for things i can try would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
If you check other forums you will find a lot of postings with the same content. According to many users you should try with latest firmware update. You can find it HERE

Noisy CD/DVD drive on my Satellite A60

Hi I have a Satellite A60 and for some reason the CD/DVD drive makes a terrible noise on some CDs and DVDs but not on others. It sounds as though the CD is rubbing on something but it is not as it now makes this noise with CDs that i have played for ages. Ideas please

Hi Roger,
There are two possibilities for this problem :-
1. The CDs themselves may be slightly distorted with the centre hole slightly off-centre, this makes the disc 'wobble' as it spins and can cause the noise that you describe.
2. The clamping latch in your CD drive may have worn to the extent that it does not lock the CD in position correctly. This will also cause a wobble in the disc as it spins and the accompanying noise.
Since you say the noise occurs on discs that you have used previously I assume that the second of the two options is the cause so before taking any further actions I would recommend checking that the CD drive is not loose in its mounting in your notebook.
Sadly, if all else fails you may need to replace the drive.
regards,

DVD drive not writing - Satellite M40X-175

im having a problem w/ my dvd. i tried to burn my movies, music and my files into a dvdr or cdr, i even tried dvdrw and cdrw but everytime i do it gives an error "d:\ is not accessible incorrect function". but when i try to watch a dvd movie or play my music cd, it does work. it reads. does this mean that my dvd drive can only read and not write?
[Edited by: admin on 04-Feb-06 20:23]

Hi there,
I think Satellite M40X is new enough to have CD writing feature. Seems to me a HW issue but you can try:
1- clean the empty CD with a dry cloth
2- blow to the lens and be sure there is no dust
3- you can uninstall its driver from
control panel-> system -> hardware -> device manager -> DVD-RAM -> (right click) properties -> driver -> Uninstall -> restart your laptop.
If they do not help you can contact an Authorised Service Partner of Toshiba. You can find the nearest one from http://217.45.123.236/toshiba/resellerselector.nsf/WebServiceProv?OpenForm

Display Driver Issues on Satellite L655-S5150 with Win10

I upgraded my Toshiba satellite (L655-S5150) to Windows 10 last week. Upgrade appeared successfully initially however shortly after the Win10 interface loads the computer will shut itself off. After exploring a number of possibilities it turns out the computer runs fine in safe mode or in low resolution mode selected from the mainteanance menu. So I feel quite certain like other issues I have seen with Win10 that have similarities to this one the issue is with the display driver. I tries updating the driver through device manager but it said I had the latest. Tried the Toshiba support pages and seem to be nothing new there for the "Intel HD Graphics" display driver. So seems at the moment I am stuck at low res mode if I want to have a functioning computer. Any ideas if there might be an updated driver out there, or can I change to something a little more generic that at least might allow me to boot in to normal mode and stay running?

Yes, have tried "update drivers" option and Windows Update option. No luck yet. Also searched manually for an updated driver on the Toshiba site and Intel site (Intel HD Graphics display adapter). I wish I could just load a generic display driver but every time I remove the Intel display driver and reboot it comes back after boot. Really a fix to the problem would be nice by anyone..... Microsoft, Toshiba, Intel, anyone......

rhow to repair the error?

Thats not a problem at all dude. The cross mark appears because of Intel Rapid Store Technology. The drive gets disabled and it can be enabled by making right click on it and select 'Enable'. the drive gets disabled if not used for some time and saves energy.

T41 DVD drive problems.

First of all, I would like to say hello! I am new to the forums, and I have been recommended to come here for help and advice regarding my laptop.
Second of all, my problem. As follows -
My laptop seems to have stopped recognizing my DVD drive. When I click on My Computer, is is not listed, but when I insert a CD or DVD I can hear the drive running, however nothing appears on the screen.
I have gone into Device Manager in an attempt to diagnose the problem, and it tells me that the driver may be missing or corrupted (code 39). I have run Spybot Search & Destroy, and AVG free edition, and neither have found any viruses.
Before the problem started, the drive was working perfectly. The model number of the drive is HL-D-ST DVD-ROM GDR8083N (I believe it was made by LG Electronics).
Lastly, I am not a computer expert. I do not know a huge amount about how they work, so forgive me for any mistakes I have made. If you need to know anything about the laptop or the drive I am happy to try and find it for you.
Thanks, 2007DBR9

Hello 2007DBR9 and welcome here.
Please donwload a Knoppix or other Linux Live cd. Burn it to cd and boot with it.
If your drive won´t be found it seems a hardware defect.
Also you should check recent bios updates on Lenovo support pages, may be there
are some hints at the release informations about problems fixed with those drives.

DVD Drive not working Satellite Pro A100 - error Code 37

Hi
Anyone help on this?
I have an A-100 and the DVD drive has stopped working in XP. I've checked device manager and XP see's the drive but returns this error 'Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)'
I've also noticed that ASAPI.sys is not running in task manager.
I'm guessing this has got something to do with the problem.
I've tried reinstalling device drivers but this has made no difference. Any suggestions?

Hi
The error code 37 means the driver returned failure from its DriverEntry routine.
You could try to remove the driver from the device manager and after new reboot the OS should recognize the device drive and initialize the driver again.
If this does not help try this procedure:
Run REGEDIT and open up the following folders:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-> SYSTEM
-> CurrentControlSet
-> Control
->Class
{4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
After clicking on {4D36E965-E325 -11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} you should see two settings on the right-hand side:
"Upperfilters"
"Lowerfilters"
Click on each of them, press DELETE and click YES.
Then reboot the notebook and check if it was useful.

DVD drive problems after 10.4.7 updae

I successfully completed a 10.4.7 update after a nuke & repave of the internal hard disk. At the moment the only applications on my machine are Mac OS 10.4.7 and the iLife suite.
Since I installed 10.4.7 I'm having a problem with the internal DVD drive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D Rev. A612) not working properly. On the first boot with the new OS the drive wasn't listed in System Profiler. I rebooted and now the drive is listed, but when I put in a DVD I get the tik-tik noise of the drive searching. Sometimes (maybe 1 in 5 attempts) it does detect the disk and mount it. Any ideas?

There's a cludgy solution to getting access to the disks which I'm finding works sometimes.
I created a new folder, e.g. "dvd" in my "Documents"
Inserted a DVD and clicked to ignore the fact that the Mac wouldn't read it.
Then using Terminal I mounted /dev/disk1, using the "dvd" folder as the mounting node:
"/sbin/mount_cd9660 /dev/disk1 ./dvd" when I was in "Documents"
Then I could get into the folder. I've found that the "mount" command wouldn't do it, and neither did "mount -t iso9660", but mount_cd9660 seams OK.
Other things to note:
If you want to watch a movie, you can similarly "ignore" the error message when you insert the disk, and then go to the File->Open Disk menu in VLC.
But Apple needs to get this lot sorter!
