Mat****a DVD-Ram UJ-841s unable to read CD-R`s

Hi,
I purchased my Notebook about 8 weeks ago but I am unable to view any pictures on any discs that I have inserted in my laptop.
When I insert a cd-r in the drive the laptop recognises there is a disc in the drive but when I open the D drive there is now images inside.
I know it is nothing to do with the picture package because one of the cd-r`s was made using the same package as the one I have on my laptop.
Also I am able to watch DVD`s and listen to music cd`s.
I would love to hear any advice on offer as how I can fix this strange problem.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hi Dave
Sorry but I am a little bit confused with your posting. You wrote you can watch DVDs and listening audio CD. I presume your drive works fine. Please be sure that all pictures are saved on CD as data. I dont know what you mean with picture package but if the CD is created as data disc there should not be any problems.

Mat****a DVD-Ram UJ-841S comes up with multiple error messages

My laptop is relatively new, I've been Burning some Video files to DVD-RWs and suddenly my DVD drive has stopped working. It come up with multiple error messages ''format failed due to media damage'', ''format failed due to general failure'' and ''the disk inserted is READ ONLY''.
I also can't rip music from disks.

By ODD the simply optical drive is meaning
You could try to remove the drive from the device manager. Then reboot your unit and then the drive should be recognized again. Check if you can burn another medias
But if you are not able to burn ONLY the DVD-RW in my opinion its not a hardware malfunction.
The RW medias must be firstly formatted before burning.
> 'format failed due to media damage'', ''format failed due to general failure'' and ''the disk inserted is READ ONLY''
The error messages in your first posting bake up my suggestion
Furthermore you have to check different brands. Not all medias are supported!

SD-R6372 drive recognized as Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ830S

Hello,
(sorry but I'm not very good in english)
I have a TOSHIBA SD-R6372 DVDRAM in my laptop computer, but windows (XP) recognize it as a MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ830S. So I can't write DVD-R and DVD-+RW. And when I wan't to updtae the firmware with SDR6372-1732.exe it's return the error : "The target drive is not found".
I suppose is a driver fault, but I can't find the driver anywhere.
Please Help me.
Thank you :)

Hi
As far as I know there is no special driver for any drive and it will be used standard Microsoft driver. Just for DVD-RAM drive must be installed DVD tool. To understood your problem a little bit better it will be useful to know which notebook model you have.

How to remove IDE MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ-820S - Tecra A2?

My Tecra A2's DVD-RAM unit has stopped working (produces lots of controller errors in the Event Log and FAIL in the Toshiba utility). I'm pretty sure it's only the flexible cable (got trapped once when not closed carefully).
Whether the cable needs replacing or the whole unit, it should be a fairly easy DIY job, but I cannot find detailed dismantling procedures in the manual or anywhere on the web. Would anyone know how to obtain a service manual for the A2?

Hi
perhaps this URL

could be useful.
Good luck!

Satellite M40X-184's DVD/CD-RW drive unable to read CDs

I have a three month old Satellite M40X-184 with Mat****a UJDA760 DVD/CD-RW drive. Last few days the optical drive is unable to read any type of CDs. But it can read DVDs. Can somebody please tell me what's wrong with it? Is the drive broken? Is it necessary to replace the DVD/CD-RW with a new drive? Thanks.

Hi
It is not easy to say if the drive is defective but you should anyway contact your local dealer. The warranty is valid and if there is some technical problem the drive will be replaced.
I dont know if this can help but you can try to remove the drive from device manager and restart the unit. The drive will be recognized and installed properly. If there is the problem with original music CDs you should really contact the local dealer.
Before the unit will be checked I believe that the best way to check it properly is to preinstall the unit with recovery media. The same thing will be done by technicians before hardware replacement. If you want you can do it too.

Problem: DVD-RAM can no longer be read on MBP C2D

The "MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857D" in my MacBook Pro C2D is said to have read (but not write) support for DVD-RAM media.
During the first few weeks of its lifetime, reading DVD-RAMs definitely worked. But now, no more, no matter what brand of media I try.
All other types of optical media continue to work as advertised (read and write).
I wonder whether this is a physical defect (but then why doesn't it affect other types of media?) or an issue caused by recent sopftware updates (but when I boot from an external DVD-drive using the very original MacOS DVD with no updates at all, why do I still not get read support on the internal drive?).
AFAIK there has not been any recent firmware update for this model. So what can be the reason? Should I let Apple swap the drive? Has anyone else observed the same issue?

Hey Grant,
thought you'd like to know my "cleaning the lens with a cloth" worked fine - uh... but for about three days only, then back to the same old, same old.
I'd originally slid a business card covered with a lens cleaning cloth (from my camera bag) to clean the lens, and although the cloth emerged mostly pristine, I figured it must've done the trick as the drive started working again.
So this time, I decided to go in deeper. I actually took the whole drive apart - case off, drive out, drive dismantled - and I had a long look around to see if any parts looked dirty or damaged...
I found just one thing - the small silver rod on which the read/write head travels (the servomechanism that moves up and down the disc radius as it reads/writes) had some 'oily gunk' at the point where the travelling-head's 'sleeve' met it - when I tried to move the head manually up and down the rod, it sort of staggered along. So I cleaned off the gunk with a cotton bud and then slid the drive-head up and down a few times 'till it seemed to run freely.
Put everything back - and fired up my Mac Pro. And the drive has been 100% fine since then - two whole weeks!
Maybe this time I've cracked it? (for my drive at least)

If it is a commercial video DVD, it cannot be ripped by iTunes (or any other legal program).
If it is a DVD containing MP3 files, open the DVD in Windows, and drag the files to your desktop. Then remove the DVD from your computer, and add the files to iTunes the normal way.

Satellite Pro M40: DVD/CD multi recorder - unable to read or burn film data

Hi,
this recorder for satellite pro m-40, is strange; i am able to boot from dvd, read dvd data, burn cd but, unable to read or burn film data (original); i have already try it with few dvd film without success!
Any idea?
thanks!
ronald

To malossi:
You dont have the similar problem because the user above cannot read and burn ONLY the original DVD movies!
> i am able to boot from dvd, read dvd data, burn cd but, unable to read or burn film data (original);
In your case possibly the drive is dead or not compatible with the media (but I dont think so).
Check this Microsoft site for some general ideas:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321641/en-us
I have read also that someone was having this problem, and found that going into hardware profiles for the CD Rom that wasn't reading, clicking on the advanced tab, and selecting "PIO only" instead of "DMA if Available" worked in win XP sp2. Maybe you will try these.

DVD RAM: Does Leopard 10.5 read and write it?

Does 10.5 read / write DVD RAM? (Of course, via a third party drive.) This is more than relevant today, when good burners at the TV, such as to capture TiVo recordings, will burn to DVD RAM. And DVD RAM is a marvelously flexible tool that behaves much like a hard drive.
Or do we still have to pay for Software Architects software (thank goodness for them ...), to use DVD RAM?
Thanks in advance for your good help. (Have previously searched, without finding any prior discussion here.) --David Allen

Hello,
If you leave your Mac on 24/7, it will run the maintenance tasks, but you have the option of either using a disk utility like Macaroni, or you can force background maintenance yourself.
Mac OS X: How to force background maintenance tasks (logs and temporary items)
As far as authoritative answers, you can try here;
http://lowendmac.com/misc/08mr/mb0910.html
And here: http://www.macworld.com/article/133730/2008/06/maintenance_routines.html
Just use common sense. Check the boot disk for errors using your restore disk and Disk Utility. Repair Permissions BEFORE and AFTER all software updates.
Watch your available disk space: Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better.
Insufficient available space can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
If don't want to purchase Macaroni, Leopard Cache Cleaner is free and available here;

Mat****a DVD-RAM-841S - Failure and disappeared icon - Code 19

Hi.
I am hoping some one can help asap as its a massive problem.
I turned my A series dual core laptop on to find no DVD drive present, no icons, and nothing working.
So i checked the device drivers to find this problem:
*Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)*
*Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.*
I have checked and there was no solution.
I have uninstalled and resintalled the device drivers and no luck it says it wont work.
Please help :)
Thank you

Right i followed that link and tried to install the automatic guide...
Sadly my computer wouldnt activate it and it refused to open.
So i follwed step 2 and for first time in my life used the registry editor.... that was interesting!
BUT i got it working, i deleted the values it said and rebooted and BANG! DVD drive is back!
Thank you very much that was a great reply and good fast service :)

Mat****a DVD-RAM drive in Sat M55-325 is not working correctly

The DVD drive from Mat****a (uj-840s) is not working correctly.
One symptom of the problem is that its icon does not appear in 'My Computer'
anymore and it does not recognise CDs.
I went to the Drive's properties through the Device Manager and saw the following message:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
Following the Troubleshooter instruction, I have tried updating my driver through
the Device Manager but it tells me that the current driver is the most up to date version.
In the Drive's properties I found that my driver version is: 5.1.2535.0
I have RecordNow from Sonic/Roxio that came preinstalled on the computer.
Is this a simple problem that has a solution?
I can not think of other actions to find the root of the problem.
Thanks

Hi
Check please this Microsoft page http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320553
I have had similar problem. The ODD (optical disc drive) was not shown in Windows explorer. Method 1 from this page solved the problem. Please try the same and let me know if ODD works again.

Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-841s in a Toshiba

This driver was the DVD drive that came with my computer.
The drive was not recognizing any disks nor was the drive being recognized by my computer: I had an error code 39 in the device manager. I went through the troubleshooting on my computer. This led me to uninstall the device, but I can't seem to reinstall it, and now I can't find any DVD/CD drives in my device manager.
I have tried downloading the driver from the Toshiba website, but that did not solve my problem and though the download seemed to go fine, there is still no drive in my device manager and no drive recognized by the computer. I also tried using the recovery CD, but that was not helpful - probably since I don't have a working CD drive. I've read about the registry edit, but will that work if I don't seem to have a device at all? How can I fix this?
Thanks.

I have same problem. DVD not being recognized by OS was first notice two days ago (end of June). At first I had no idea what was going on. In Control Panel I foung the ATA DVD showing with an exclamation mark. Error Code 39. I have gone into Registery and not seen any upper/lower filters listed (in 4D36E.... file). I have removed DVD drive and disconnected/reconnected cables. I have also uninstalled DVD using Vista. Then attempt to reinstall. DVD drive shows up on Control Panel after Vista attempts to install. But still has exclamation and not recognized by OS. Also, still shows Error Code 39.
Here is what has changed (best I can tell). I went into Restore section anticipating being able to Restore System to a much older date. Guess What??? The old Restore dates are gone. The latest update from MS was June 26th. And there are Restore Points since. But, none older. Appears MS update deleted all old Restore Points. Think this update
killed my OS from recognizing DVD drive?
Anyone got suggeestions? Greatly appreciated. Also, can't imagine I am the only one have this/these problems.
Thanks for any guidance.

Drivers corrupt for "MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ820S

Hi
Need SERIOUS help on finding the drivers as i cannot use my drive at all :(
Please PLEASE help.
Thanks again,
Brad :)

Hi Brad,
You don't say what operating system you have but if you are using Windows 2000 or XP then you should not need any additional drivers for your DVD ROM.
I suggest you delet the DVD ROM from Device Manager and then use the Search for new hardware option to let the OS find and reinstall it.
regards,

Tecra A6: DVD-RAM UJ-841S region code is locked

After playing several DVD Movies from my homeland and USA the DVD drive is locked... Is it right, that the only way to get t back in working condition for Germany, is to replace the unit? ...or at least the ROM of the unit...
Thank you for fast replies!

Hi
No, its not possible
Fact is that you can change the region code 4 or 5 times (I cannot remember) and then the setting is locked and its not possible to change it anymore on legal way.
Of course, you will find many tips and advices in the internet how to change the settings but I would not recommend to follow such guide lines because you can damage the drive!

Mat****a DVD-RAM drive in Satellite A100 is not working correctly

When I insert any type of disc, the drive lights up, but the system cannot access anything on the disc. I have tried all the fixes that have been shown in the forums but nothing works. The message that I get is : D:/is not accessible. I/O device error. Curiously the only disc that it reads without any problem is the recovery disc. Unfortunately a system recovery did no solve the problem.

Hi there,
if you got still warranty then it would be necessary in your case to bring/send your machine to a local toshiba servicepartner for a hardwarecheckup. But even if you dont have warranty anymore you should do that because your issues sounds like a hardware failure.
If you need some help finding a service partner then I can provide you a link where you can find the nearest one:
