Equium A210 - After BIOS update the DVD drive stopped working

hi, since I have updated my BIOS recently, my DVD drive has stopped working on my Equium A210-1AS with Vista 32bit.
I have tried Microsoft fixme program that does not work, upper and lower registry is not there ether in regedit.
Has anyone got any solutions to get DVD drive working again?
Thank you

The CD/DVD was working fine before I was prompted by Toshiba tempro to update my BIOS, since then my CD/DVD drive doesnt work.
Have tried fixme from Microsoft that doesnt work, have tried to delete upper/lower filters they are not there, have unistalled CD drive and restarted the drive re-installs and still does not reconise any CD/DVD to boot up and DVD drive disapears some times
Any suggestions?
Thanks

DVD drive stopped working after Mavericks install

I have a Macbook Pro (late 08 model) that was running Snow Leopard. I recently did a clean install of Mavericks and since then the DVD drive just spins and ejects discs without being able to read them (doesn't seem to matter what I use. Software, games, audio cds, etc..). It was working fine before installing Mavericks and I can still boot from the DVD drive (old snow leopard boot disc) but it won't read any discs once booted into the OS even though the OS is detecting the drive just not the disc when inserted.
I've tried resetting the NVRAM/PRAM and resetting the SMC as suggested on other forums but like many others with the same issue it didn't help. I also cycled through several drutil commands as suggested to "wake up" the drive but that didn't help any either.
I'm kind of stumped here guys. I could roll back to Snow Leopard but I've got some software thats dropping support so I'd rather be running Mavericks if I can sort out this DVD drive issue. Clearly its not the drive itself since it worked fine before and I can boot from it. Any ideas?

Hrm looks like I might of fixed it. I went back after seeing another post about spamming drutil commands to "wake up" the drive and just spammed them about 20 or so times and the drive started working again.
I'm still very confused as to why it just stopped working within the OS after installing Mavericks (yet I was still able to boot from the DVD just fine). Clearly something is bugged in mavericks. I even came across a post on the apple forums from someone with this issue and it was effecting both his late 08 and early 2013 Macbook Pros.
I'll keep an eye on my own machine to see if it stops working again but for now it seems my drive is "fixed" go figure.

My dvd drive stopped working. My laptop is only 6 months old. Can it be replaced for free?

While burning home movies my drive just stopped working. I got my laptop for christmas. Is it still covered under warrenty? If not is it better to try to replace the drive or just by an external writer?

Hi Namron1972,
Please answer the following question:
1. Is the drive reading media?
2. Is the drive recognized in the system?
Also, please provide us the complete model of your system along with the operating system, so that we can assist you in a better way.

Re: Dvd drive stopped working on my Equium A300D-16C

Hi I need help!
My Equium A300D-16C has stopped recognizing any type of disc, Ive tried double clicking on the drive but they gey kicked out and the message "please insert a disc into the drive" appears.
Having read back previous posts in a bit not to look too much like a dumb blonde and have so far checked the registry values - which are not set, uninstalled the drive via the system device - to no avail. Only had it about 2 months and really cannot be without it.
Any help would be very much appreciated

Hp dv9810us notebook dvd/cd drive stopped working

I have hp dv9810us notebook running vista home premium and my dvd/cd drive stopped working. Doesn't even show up in Devive Manager. Before I started trying stuff I was wondering if this a common problem with a easy fix. thanks

Fairly common, but, usually, no easy fix.
Some things to try in this post:

I have the same notebook and also lost my dvd drive. My problem resulted from the nvidia graphics problem. Google "defective nvidia gpu" if you are not familar with this.
Mine died three months after I lost the drive, but I revived it with a pseudo reflow method by baking my motherboard @ 385 degres F. My dvd drive is back and the laptop runs noticeably cooler.
Good luck

Windows accelorator driver stopped working

Every now and again I have a message which comes up saying Windows accelorator driver stopped working for Windows XP and has recovered. I have Windows 7 home premium so why would this message keep appearing every so often.

Is there any text before "windows acc...." in the error message? From the information supplied I would guess you are running W7 32bit and you've either upgraded from XP or you have loaded an XP grahics driver - I've only seen that sort of message from video drivers. I would check that either an updated Toshiba driver or a "WHQL" certified laptop driver is available from the graphics chipset's web site.

ITunes8 -- all optical drives stopped working

After installing iTunes 8, all my optical drives stopped working. Windows simply didn't recognize them. Device manager said they were missing. However the BIOS found them. Uninstalling iTunes8 fixed it.
However, like everyone else here, now I can't return to a previous version of iTunes because it refuses to recognize my library file (a .itl file).
Argg
What can I do, to either use an older version of iTunes, or fix this problem?

I tried the suggested fix on Apple's site (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2372?viewlocale=en_US) but both my DVD drives remained invisible.
Then I tried the one at MS suggested by Adrian Kingsley-Hughes on his ZDNet blog (http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=2600):
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
Hooray! It worked! Not only have my drives reappeared, but I am burning a DVD right now using InfraRecorder.
Unfortunately, now I get a nasty message about missing registry data whenever I start iTunes, but I assume Apple will fix this problem in some future release. I'll have to live with it until then.
I spent hours on this today and almost ordered some new SATA drives, thinking the IDE controller on my mobo must have gone bad. I really appreciate the existence of Adrian's blog and other third party resources!
And I am very annoyed at Apple right now. Releasing software that breaks peoples' computers in a major way is not acceptable, IMHO. Leaving the bad software out there and posting fixes that don't work is even worse.
BTW, I am running XP Pro SP2. I have Logitech hardware and software installed, as well as a number of other USB devices (Treo, Canon printer and scanner, iPod) so (according to Adrian and other sources) I guess I was a likely victim.
Note that, having been burned before by new major releases of iTunes, I was cautious: I held off on installing iTunes 8 until the second release, hoping they'd have fixed any really bad bugs that showed up in the first release by then.
Silly me.

DVD drive not working properly.....

here's the info on whats going on:
when i try to put in a CD/DVD it spits the disk out right away. after trying to put it in about five times or so, the drive takes it, makes its fancy noises to make me think that its reading the disk, but the computer doesnt recognize that it has one in the drive. sometimes it spits the disk out, but other times it will just keep it.
ive been reading posts from other users with similar issues and done everything that everyone has tried i.e. going to disk utilities and "verifying the disk" (it says everything is working normally), tried to "repair" the drive, and when i go the the info section about my disk drive it says that its read/writable, but not ejectable.
here is the info that it gives me, maybe this could be of some help to try and narrow down the possible problems:

the last thing that i havent done is do a full restart of the computer. that is my last resort. anyone have any ideas on what to do?
thank you for your time.

I have a question similar to this.....
Just recently (no updates/changes, etc) my CD drive stopped working. It won't let me enter a CD at all. It is as if there is something in there blocking it. I tried restarting the computer, but that didn't help. It acts like I have to force it in there, but I really don't want to do that. As far as I know there's nothing in there, as I rarely use the drive. Please advise if there is any sort of resets I can do for the drive (I'm still trying to get the hang of my MAC).
Thank you for any assistance!!!!

DVD drive stopped writting DVD's on my Satellite 5200-801

Quick question that I hope someone knows the answer to. My DVD drive stopped writting DVD's a while ago (several system reinstalls have proved that it is the drive and not a driver error/conflict) So I got hold of another drive. Fitting was easy however it appears that there is something funny with the ide chain configuration in this laptop. The old drive was set on cable select, however the new drive is set as slave. because of this neither the HD or the DVD drive are accessable.
Does anyone know how to switch dvd drives to cable select to make them work (I tried putting jumpers on the HD to change it between a master and slave but with no joy.)
Thanks in advance

Hi John,
Normally, slim design CD/DVD drives are preset by the manufacturer but it is apparently possible to change the setting if you really want to. Please check out the following post :-

CD drive stopped working on my Satellite L

Hi
MY CD drive stopped working, but then it recognised a disc which I had inserted, but then stopped working again.
I have deleted upper and low filters from device manager.
I have also downloaded the dvd ram driver from toshiba and my cd drive then worked, but after I closed down the computer, again it would not recognise discs in the drive.
I again downloaded the driver and it then recognised the disc I inserted into the drive.
However, now my computer will not recognise the drive even when I again download the driver.
Does anyone know why it would work intermittently or have any ideas that might help.
Thanks.

Which satellite L do you have?
Which operating system do you use?
Do you use original Toshiba recovery image?
Is ODD recognized properly in device manager?
Which disc do you use?
Do you have this problem using only this one disc?
Sorry buddy but your description is so general and there is no one single relevant info that can help for better understanding.
What you can expect are just general answers like:
-reinstall ODD
-test with different discs
-defect ODD

Intel wired ethernet driver stops working

We have this issue with several T400 and T500 series ThinkPads that the Intel ethernet driver stops working after a while. All this started to happen maybe a month ago. We have both 32- and 64-bit Windows 7 OSs.
Wired ethernet works ok first, but after a few hours or a day or two this yellow exclamation mark appears on the network icon and it says limited or no connectivity. Wired network stops working and there is nothing we can do to fix this other than reboot the computer. It doesn't even shut down properly, just says "Shutting down" forever and blinks the HDD led maybe once a second. So we have to force it and after booting everything is ok until the next time this happens.
When the network stops working, nothing can be done with the driver because everything just hangs. You cannot disable the connection or uninstall the adapter from Device Manager or anything. Unplugging the ethernet cable does not help either. There is nothing about this problem in the Event log other than about the symptoms of not having a network connection.
What could be the source of this problem? Do you have any ideas about how to diagnose this problem further? We have the newest driver and I have also tried the newest driver from Intel.

Go to Local Area Connection (Wired Intel adapter), Properties and the Configure button, in the Power Management Tab UNCHECK "Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power".
Window7 does NOT always resolve IP and DHCP when it come out of sleep etc. All attempt to release/renew are in vain. I have seen this on various systems for some time. Occassionally a router reboot fixes it but most of the time is the PC. Frustrating but for Wired use this should always be disabled if you're using it a lot. Power savings is not in your best interest.
Let me know if that does it.
