Satellite C850 - 1KN CD burner is not working

Hi,
I've been trying to burn some CD's on my Satellite C850 - 1KN with Windows 8 64bit and each time I try it will finish burning the CD with no error message or apparent problems but then when trying to play back the CD on the laptop or other device it's read as a blank disc.
Have tried burning using Itunes, Nero and Windows Media player, all with the same result.
I've also tried using Verbatim and Maxell blank CD's with no change in results.
I should also add that the CD drive does work as it will play other CD's.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
Are you able to create data CDs or DVDs?
I guess you tried to write music data (possibly mp3, mp4 files) on a CD but try to write simple document files on a DVD or CD.
Ensure also that the write session has been closed after finishing the disk burning.
Another tip:
I would also recommend testing disks from another and different manufacturers.
You uses Verbatim and Maxwell, both are great disks but the key is the combination of disk and optical disk drive so even if others were able to use such disk using another optical disk drive, this does not mean that such disk would be fully compatible with your ODD. How about TDK R CD/DVD?
Test it!

  • Satellite C850-1KN - Windows 8.1 Freeze

    Hi,
    I have tried the search function but cannot find the help I require.
    My Satellite C850-1KN (windows 8.1) has been freezing a lot recently but I am still able to use the mouse pointer, CTRL + ALT + DEL has no effect and the computer won't do anything, I am forced to shut it down via keeping my finger on the power button or taking out the battery.
    I have ran a SFC /scannow check and receive the following:-
    "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them..."
    Please find the log in the following post
    Sometimes the screen also stays black and will not respond to any inputs, this appears to be happening more and more. If any one can help it would be greatly appreciated.
    Windows Event viewer shows 2 critical failures at the time of the last incident, both of which are Kernal-Power and refer to not shutting down cleanly (obviously because I have had to keep my finger on the button).
    There are a few "Errors" in the log, the most surprising of which is the Microsoft Bing News app which logged just before the incident, could this be the cause of trouble?
    Thanks in advance

    Your notebook was delivered with Win8 so I presume you have updated it to Win8.1 version.
    Have you updated your machine following Toshiba instructions?
    To be honest it is not easy to answer such questions and say for sure what the problem is.
    If you have this issue since few days only I recommend you to roll back OS to earlier time using system restore tool just to see if the problem persist or not.
    How to do this you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
    Do at as first step please and post some feedback.
    By the way: have you created recovery disc before you have installed Win8.1 update?

  • My dvd/cd player/burner is not working...

    My dvd/cd player/burner is not working, and I don't want to spend $$$ to fix it. What dvd/cd is available at a good price?

    You have given us little to go on. What Mac product line and model? Different Macs take different optical drives.
    Also, when asking what is available, telling us you general geographic location is a help. That way, someone won't recommend a vendor that cannot ship to your location.
    Although you cannot determine from the non-intuitive forum title Apple chose, the forum you found is for Mac hardware made before 1998. Anything here get very few views. If you have a newer model, we can ge the Hosts to move you to a more active forum and more eyeballs.

  • Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

    He,
    I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
    Can anybody help me?
    Greets,

    Hi
    Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
    Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

  • Satellite C855D-S5237 Laptop HDMI Output Not Working

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5237 Laptop and the HDMI Output is no longer working on my Toshiba TV. The TV does not recognize that anything is connected and the laptop doesn't recognize the TV as a display option. I have used this laptop many times in the past to connect to my TV with an HDMI cable and it worked fine. It has been a few months since I tried it but it is no longer working. Any ideas as to what could be the problem? Thanks

  • Satellite A200 -1VG - DVD RW Drive not working

    Hi all,
    Pls i need some help with my laptop. The DVD drive on my computer is not working properly.. It plays DVDs and CDs, but when i try to burn CDs or install a new program with a CD it gets to like 97% then stops and an error message shows up. It sometimes says the message cannot Run due to some errors.
    Also i keep getting disconnected off the internet every 10mins, please what can i do
    Lastly i want to know if i can install winXP as i dont like vista. Thanks

    When CD/DVD related software is installed (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), they install filters into the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.
    1) Run Regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit)
    2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    3) In the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key, and delete the "LowerFilters" key.
    4) Reboot.
    If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

  • Satellite P25-S520 - DVD drive is not working properly

    Fix DVD Drive or buy external drive
    My DVD drive is not working properly, in fact it may never have been working proper. Recently I tried to back up my PC to a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize the DVD was present. I then tried writing a text file to a DVD and was unsuccessful. Both DVD+R and DVD-R media were tried (Maxwell 16X).
    I could have probably lived with this however, I got a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my neighbors laptop and it was recognized.
    An attempt at updating the driver was also unsuccessful.
    I was able to rip a music CD last night so that at least is working correctly.
    Does anybody know how I can fix this? The important part is being able to load my new program.
    Searching some forums I've found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive cannot be fixed I am not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately where I live there are no brick-and-mortar stores which sell external drives and I would prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can anyone suggest an external USB drive which will read and write CDs and DVDs and which is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?
    Thank you for any help,

    Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.
    However you wont be able to boot of CD's (Run Recovery for example) if you use an external drive.
    So your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and ask for a quotation.

  • Why is ken burns effect not working on individual slides I have amended when sent to iDVD

    When making a slideshow in iPhoto, I changed the zoom and scan on individual slides as instructed in the Help dialog; these showed perfectly when played.  However, when I shared the slideshow to iDVD, those particular slides were just 'still' and there was no Ken Burns effect at all.  Why did this happen?

    The Slideshow was created in iPhoto and then shared to iDVD.  The Ken Burns effect works on all the photos that used the basic "Ken Burns' setting.  However, on some of the photos I tried to amend the scanning to zoom into particular faces or parts of the photo.  When I played the slideshow in iPhoto, these amended photos were exactly as I wanted, but after 'sharing' it and viewing it in iDVD, those photos I had altered were 'frozen' and the Ken Burns effect did not work at all, neither the automatic version, nor the specific way I had set it.  All the other photos still had the Ken Burns effect as expected.  I am using  iPhoto 11, 9.1.5, I haven't had this problem in the past.
    If you have any ideas why this should have happened I'd be grateful.
    Thanks

  • Satellite U500 - The volume buttons do not work

    Hello
    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 two days ago, and already having problems :(
    It has a touch sensitive control buttons, which includes the eco utility, media buttons, and volume control (+ and -)
    The volume buttons do not work, and sometimes the computer freezes upon touching them. Once I touch the -, it keeps turning the volume down until it reaches zero, and even if I turn it up using windows, it returns to zero (like if the button is still being pressed). The + one doesn't work at all.
    Please help. Any way to reinstalle their drivers ?
    The only solution I found is to disable them using HWSetup...

    Solved.
    I just had to uninstall the Toshiba Common Modules, and reinstalled them. It worked.
    I hope it doesn't happen again.

  • Ken Burns Effect not working as expected.

    Hi,
    I have created a slideshow in iPhoto 08 and want to have all of the slides use the ken burns effect except the first one (i want this to be a 20 second title photo). To get this to work, i have disabled the Automatic Ken Burns effect in the settings menu and then clicked the Ken Burns checkbox in all of the photos from the second one onwards. Even with these checkboxes selected, the photos just stay still and the ken burns effect does not work. Am i going about this the wrong way?
    Any ideas appreciated.
    Joe.

    I believe that if you do not use the automatic ken burns effect you need to set the effect for each photo - pick one or two and with the KB slider to the left set the view for the beginning photos and then slide the slider to the right and set the end view - then it will transition between those two (I'm thinking that you can turn auto automatic and override it for just the first slide by making the start and end the same so the transition does not really do anything
    Try that first (it is easier )

  • Satellite L500 - touchpad & CD-rom are not working anymore

    Dear Sir
    I have Satellite L500 laptop. I have problem with the touch pad and cd-rom both losses the functionality.
    Once I click on the touch pad cursor not moving and it button also not working.
    Please give me solution on it.
    I have try to setup by default setting loading then also it not working.
    Please give me solution on it.
    Thanking you
    Sandeep.

    Best way to test functionality is to install original recovery image again and test hardware with factory settings.
    Please use recovery DVD discs, if you have created them, or use HDD recovery option - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  • Re: Satellite L750 - advanced mouse settings are not working properly

    Satellite L750 model (One month old). The problem is that every time I start the computer, only works the point device of the mouse synaptics , but retains the advanced settings as pressing with three fingers, turns or you can use the wheel to move up and down the page. The funny thing is that is activated by clicking the mouse icon in the Control Panel. Once I access the icon, the mouse works perfectly and appears in the toolbar.
    In Device Management, tells me that works perfectly and that the driver is updated.
    Does anyone think of any solution? thanks

    Hi
    To be honest, I dont really understand what you are talking about.
    Do you have problems with the USB mouse or the touchpad?
    What device does not work correctly: mouse or touchpad?
    The L750 series supports an touchpad with additional feature called Gesture (Multi Touch).
    Here you can find nice description on Synaptics page how it works.
    http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/technology/touchpad
    Furthermore the settings could be found in control panel -> mouse -> Advanced tab
    FYI: You can disable and enable the touchpad function pressing the small button above the touchpad surface (On/OFF).

  • Satellite C850-B519 - Bluetooth peripheral device not found

    I have Satellite C850-B519 notebook serial no. 9c287842r from egypt where i live but after downloading bluetooth drivers from toshiba website and installed i got that *"bluetooth peripheral device"* couldn't be found .....also when installing toshiba bluetooth stack it gives me that screen ( it's the jpg link ) and make no progress even i left the notebook installing for 3 hours without any progress
    Please answer me i'm sick of it

    > and already installed realtek waln driver in addition to realtek bluetooth filter package
    As I said: Realtek WLan driver -> Realtek BT filter package + Toshiba BT stack
    Here you can get the BT stack:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/
    Finally you have to enable the BT using F12 (or Fn + F12) to finish the installation!
    > my friend has a toshiba c850 with win 8 installed but bluetooth stack have my problem .....i don't know what the hell is wrong with c850 series
    First of all not all Satellite models supports Bluetooth. In case the BT isnt supported, you could not install BT drivers and BT stack!
    Furthermore the Satellite C850 series is equipped with different modules (Atheros, Intel or Realtek). Usage of wrong drivers leads to the same error.
