Satellite M30X: DVD/CD rom drive does not work

Hi,
Hope someone can help. The above drive will not now recognise any inserted media. It whirrs for a while then stops. I have cleaned the lens and also run through the support and diagnostic tests and they cannot help me any further.
I have also reinstalled the driver but no joy.
Does this mean a new DVD/cd drive is required?
Is it removable from the laptop and easily replaced?
Where would i get the part - M****a DVD ROM UJ- 82OS ?
How much would this cost?
Thanks to all for any suggestions???
Jim

Hi,
I had the same problem as you and I had to send mine for repair and they replaced it for me. My drive, same model as yours would not burn DVD's.
Installing is quite easy:
I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE
1. Turn the unit up-side down
2. Remove every screw except the one securing the Hard-Drive, Memory Module and the one under the battery.
3. Now get a Pin or a Straightened out Paper-Clip and push the Pin/Paper-Clip into the small hole of the DVD-Driveand slowly pull the drive out.
4. Nearly there, Now you need to put your new DVD-Drive upside down because you have the unit is upside down as well.
5. Once you have done that, you need to put all the screws back in place.
6. DONE!
Hope this helps

Satellite P105 - DVD/CD ROM drive does not work

The DVD/CD ROM drive on my P105 does not work at all. I've tried the registry fix for the upper/lower limit thing - didn't fix the problem. The drive does have power, does spin a disk, but it is not recognized by the system. It doesn't show up in the device manager at all. I need to get this working and I'm hoping it doesn't need a new drive as this machine is out of warranty (of course!). Thanks for any and all suggestions on hot to fix this problem.

Howdy folks. This thread has a lot more views than the one I posted to, but go here to the following message for a possible solution to your CD/DVD Drive issue:

Satellite A660 DVD/CD-ROM drive does not detect discs

Hi there,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 with a MAT****A BD-CMB UJ141ES DVD/CD-ROM drive. It is about 18 months old and recently I have noticed that it does not recognise any CDs/DVDs. It makes a couple of noises once inserted but then stops spinning and nothing happens or changes in My Computer view.
Please note there seems to be no apparent problems with the drive:
- It is present in My Computer
- The device is working properly in device manager
Things I have already tried:
- Run Microsoft FixIt and CD-ROM/DVD Troubleshooter - both said it could not recognise media
- Deleted upper filter in the registry as per many suggestions (no lower filter present)
- Updated driver
I don't know what else to do. Please help as this is frustrating for a relatively new notebook which never is moved from my desk (don't expect many damaged parts).
Cheers

As I said: clean the laser lens
If you open the CD/DVD drive you will see the small laser lens.
Use cotton wool tip and alcohol

Dont know any

My DVD-ROM drive does not work -- what steps should I take?

MacBook Pro, a couple of years old. Was used by an employee for 2 years, now have it at home and found that the DVD-ROM drive does nothing when I insert a disc.
What I really would like to know is what are the first steps with this. I don't want to send the machine somewhere. Should I just get a cheap external? Could it be software?

If by Does nothing you mean it doesn't even pull in the disk. That sound slike hardware not software.
I imagine it is out of warranty? If it is covered take it to be repaired in a mac store. If not I personally would opt for an external as the cost would be much more appealing. But doesn't hurt to inquire about the cost for having a new internal, or even fixing your current one.
But for my money I would opt for external.

Satellite L955-10K - Synaptics Touchpad Driver does not work properly

Hello, ASRR here.
I've been having a problem with my Synaptics touchpad driver since yesterday. I am very used to using the "gestures" to work with my touchpad and the gestures haven't worked properly (in fact at all) for a while. The two-finger scrolling, the three-finger touch and others (actually all of the gestures) do not work anymore.
The cursor moves, and works fine but the gestures don't.
When I go to the Mouse option in the Control Panel, a window pops up stating that the PC is "Unable to connect to the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver." and asks me whether I want to uninstall it.
I have tried uninstalling it, then going on the support page for Toshiba and downloading a driver that was suitable for my model, operating system, etc.
When I set up the driver I downloaded and restart the PC, the same window pops up when I try and go to the Mouse options in the Control Panel and the gestures do not work.
One interesting thing I noticed however, is the fact that when I roll back the driver (in the Hardware properties- then settings) the gestures work FINE. However, as it always asks you to restart the computer in order for the Rolling back of the driver to take place, when I do restart it, it sets the Microsoft touchpad driver from 2006; which does not include the gestures I need.
I have tried multiple times to fix it but I can't. I went to the UEFI firmware set up and tried resetting it to default but with no success.
I really do not know what to do. Could somebody PLEASE help?
My Toshiba Model is a Satellite L-955-10K with a 64bit processor and originally installed Windows 8 operating system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

To me it looks like the Synaptics touchpad driver could not be installed properly and after the new restart the touchpad driver isnt indicated by the Windows 8 system.
By the way: are you still using the Win 8? Didnt you upgrade the system to Win 8.1? Should do this since many different bugs have been solved in new Win 8.1 version.
Back to the Synaptics touchpad driver.
Usually the drivers should be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page but in some cases you could also use the drivers directly from manufacturer pages. In this case the touchpad driver has been released by Synaptics and it would be interesting to know how the touchpad driver from Synaptics driver page would act on your notebook

CD/DVD drive does not work after Win 8 intsallation

from a month i've updated my windows into windows 8, everything is working great but the DVD-RW .
When i put empty cd and try to open it, it gives me error while opening saying:
"windows was unable to complete the format"
So is that a software or a hardware problem?!
waiting for the help !

Does this mean that your CD/DVD drive does not work anymore and is not recognized by system?
If yes, then I would recommend checking this Toshiba document which I found on the knowledge base portal webpage:
+Why does my CD/DVD Drive not work after upgrading to Windows 8?+

You will need to uninstall the Toshiba programs:

Satellite P105 mat****a dvd drive does not work with Win 7

Greetings,
I need an upgrade on my dvd for my vintage Satellite P105.
I want the fastest dvd burner possible at this time because I am a movie fan and keep them in digital storage.
1) First should I go get an external drive or can I get top performance with an internal dvd replacement from a parts dealer or Toshiba?
The problem is when I upgraded to windows 7 things changed. I lost my sound but solved that by using a legacy driver for Visa as apparently the sound "board" on the laptop is made for only Vista. Next I found the dvd drive which is a mitsu****a UJ-450s internal does not work or is extremely slow in backing up movies from discs or files. The available burner software also seems intended for Vista as performance was acceptable then. Even the dvd burner software does not work.
2) So, my question to the mavens of multimedia is: What should be my next move?
3) Should I go external and face the USB bottle neck or
4) go for the bus speed on the internal dvd?
5) Given that an internal dvd is better as it is exactly a dvd-ram/IDE as it currently is, or some other bus configuration.
6) Most importantly, what dvd burner would give me 18x speed with current software like ConvertXtoDVD and fit as an external or -- better -- as an internal dvd replacement or my slow drive currently?
Of course, if you could give me a model number and direct me to sales it would be much appreciated.
Thank you all in advance.

1) First should I go get an external drive or can I get top performance with an internal dvd replacement from a parts dealer or Toshiba?
You should know that not all internal ODD>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ODD?>>>>>>>>>> devices are compatible. You will need to use an compatible and supported ne and such device could be ordered from an local ASP.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ASP?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>
But its more expensive as an external CD/DVD device therefore you could also choose an external one which would be compatible with all possible notebooks and computers.
Makes sense
2) So, my question to the mavens of multimedia is: What should be my next move?
As mentioned. Good option would be to buy an external ODD burner>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Okay>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
3) Should I go external and face the USB bottle neck or
External device are compatible with all computers and are cheaper>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>yes, but isn't the data thru put slower with an external via USB or should I get firewire?>>>>>>>>>>>
4) go for the bus speed on the internal dvd?
If you have the money for an internal device and want to use it only with P105 then you can choose also an internal burner.>>>>>>>>>>>>they are $96 here at toshiba site>>>>>>>>>>>>
e
5) Given that an internal dvd is better as it is exactly a dvd-ram/IDE as it currently is, or some other bus configuration.
As far as I know its an IDE interface but the device would support master or slave or c-sel>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>what is c-sel????>>>>>>>>>>>>> settings. As mentioned, you have to buy an Toshiba recommended one.>>>>>>>>>>>>>the one sold here would be recommended, would they not?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
6) Most importantly, what dvd burner would give me 18x speed with current software like ConvertXtoDVD and fit as an external or -- better -- as an internal dvd replacement or my slow drive currently?
Look point 5)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>so you agree that a bus connection is superior to a USB then?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thank you for your prompt reply. Could you comment on my questions add to your message?

Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since installing Vista

I did a clean installation on my Vista Ready new M7. It had XP tablet to begin with and the DVD drive worked fine. Indeed I used it to install Vista (Home Premium).
Now it does not work at all. It spins but does not read. Device Manager tells me device cannot start. Tried to update driver and it told me that it has the most uptodate driver.
Downloaded all the drivers from Tosh download centre for Vista upgrade of M7 (which got bluetooth, screen rotation etc to work fine). But none of the downloads seemed to be a driver for the DVD-Ram drive. Can not find a driver anywhere else (including Panasonic site).
DVD drive is Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-841s
Any suggestions?

Hi
On the Toshiba driver page you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
Did you try to install the XP DVD-RAM driver from the Toshiba page on the Vista OS?
Maybe it will works
But listen the CD/DVD drive uses the common Microsoft drivers which are included into Vista or XP.
Therefore an additional driver should be not needed!
One additional proposal;
Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager and reboot the notebook.
After new reboot the OS should install the drive again and should renew the software.
Other hint:
- Start the registry
- Choose the registry key;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters and LowerFilters then click Delete.
- and restart the notebook

Try starting up Disc Utility from your utilities Folder, Mac fail, and see if you can eject the disk from there.
If not, as your computer is brand new, I'd suggest you simply get in contact with the place you purchased it from to arrange a replacement.

Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

Hi all
I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
Can someone help me?
Thanks for your help

Hi
Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

Satellite Pro L20-212 - USB2.0 does not work

Hi,
I own a *Satellite Pro L20-212*, *Windows XP (SP2) is installed, but USB2.0 does not work*. I can't see anything about USB2.0 in the Devicemanager and the speed of the attached USB2.0 devices is at the USB1.1 level.
I don't know which information is needed to help me out with this problem because it should normally work on my notebook (and I know that the notebook has USB2.0 ports).
Do I have to install a special driver in order to use USB2.0 or is there any software on my notebook which I have to enable?
Thank you very much,
Frank

Hi
+Fact is that the notebooks hardware is ok and it seems that you only need to install some MS updates and maybe a chipset driver.+
True.
+But lets begin with the basics? as I??m not mistaken; the Satellite Pro L20 belongs to the PSL2YE. Therefore you have to choose this series number if you download the drivers.+
That's what I did.
+On the Toshiba European driver page you will find the Intel Chip Set Utility. Please install it firstly. Do you have an ATI card? If yes install the graphic driver from the Toshiba page because this driver contains the chipset driver for the units with ATI graphic card!!!+
I have an ATI card and I installed the driver from the Toshiba page which includes the chipset driver. That's the first driver I installed on my notebook.
+Secondly you will find the Quick Fix Engineering on the Toshiba page. These are the MS updates which must be installed!!!+
Every single update of Microsoft for Windows XP is installed, so this shouldn't be the problem
+Then the USB ports should be correctly recognized in the device manager and should work.+
USB is recognized, but not as USB 2.0 :-(
+By the way; you should test the USB ports with different external USB devices to ensure that it??s not a USB device malfunction?+
I did that, too. And I used the same decives on Ubuntu to test the USB 2.0 function. And everything worked perfectly.
That's tricky. I don't have the slightest idea what I can do now. The hardware works, the drivers are correct, but it still doesn't work. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
But thank you very much Gipsyman!
