Toshiba Satellite L655-14F don't read CD/DVD..

I've been having trouble getting my DVD drive to read CDs . I think it all started after I downloaded iTunes. When I insert the CD it stays inside with a little noise then nothing else happen, I tired troubleshooting and reinstalling the driver but the problem is not solved yet.. Thanks!

I had almost the sameproblem. There's a site http://gur.in/ which is excellent. They steered me to this, and fixed my cd/dvd drive on their website. On the home page click on RESTORE MISSING CD DRIVE, Ii fixed my drive as soon as I ran it. It's safe also. Good Luck. Camey1

Toshiba Satellite L655-S51117 VGA Port Question

I have a Toshiba Satellite L655-S51117 with an Intel Graphics HD Video Card. There is no HDMI port on the laptop but I wanted to purchase a VGA to HDMI cable to connect to my LCD TV but it says the Video Card must support digital signal ouput through the VGA port. Does this particular card support digital signal output? I just want to be sure before I purchase go ahead and purchase the cable.
Thanks for your help!

I Got a laptop Satellite L655 for Xmas and I want to use it for my karaoke but I can't get it to work. I bought a new 15 pin to the RED, YELLOW and WHITE and S-Video cord but it won't work. My Old Laptop had A S-Video on the back and it worked fine. So how do I get this Laptop hooked up to my TV? It's an older TV but it has the red,yellow, white, and the S-video hook ups. Please any help on this? Yelsi

Audio would be stereo taken from the headphone port via a seperate cable to the converter box. It doesn't look like that machine has digital audio out, so no surround or whatever is possible.

Problem with updating bios toshiba satellite l655-s5144

Hello first of all having a good day, four months ago a problem with my laptop toshiba satellite l655-5144 I have something crazy ,happens that when starting Windows 7/8 freezes there and I can not access windows, I thought it was an error of hdd, but I think I'm surprised that it is not, since changing the hdd and still gives the same problem of being paralyzed in Home windows, all this began to update the BIOS to version 2.8 that turned out to be the operating profit that was for windows 8, not sure if this is due to the problem but I've tested the ram, hdd, cpu, etc and everything about the hardware works well and gives no problems, I think that the problem was caused by updating the BIOS to version 2.8, my question is whether you can return to the factory version was 2.2, or at least the previous version to 2.8 which was the one I worked thanks for your answers and spend time helping me, is the agradesco much.
And sorry for my bad English.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello and thank you for coming to see the problem I had with my laptop, that seems to fix the problem so far, I hope q not refreeze operating system again, and I could restore the BIOS to version in which was when purchased.
If anyone has the same problem as I leave then follow these steps:
1.Find BIOS version with which acquired the laptop
2. Use of mnetodo booted by CD.
3. Insert the CD from the boot.
4. Upon resumption of the program ran hidden PC (that I saw no message)
5. After restart, windows restart again and enter the bios to see if it had changed the version of this and it turned out was successful.
Well I hope this problem the laptop again, and thank you for deigning to read at least my problem.

Toshiba Satellite L655-S5146 new hard drive woes

Hello all,
Im at my wits end and i was praying this community could help me. the factory hard drive of my laptop has died, so i purchased a cheap replacement, not nearly as large but it will serve my needs. when i place the new drive into the laptop it dosent boot at all. Ive tried to use Diskpart on my desktop and then drop the 2.5 into the laptop, but that dosent work. The drive is good, i am able to see it when i connect it to my desktop, so thats not the issue. I need to know if i am doing anything worng or if there is some way to get my lap to be kind enough to accept this new hard drive. All help is welcome and appre

telling me that windows couldnt make the system partition
Could be the drive doesn't have a digital signature. Connect it via USB to another machine and initialize the drive.

Downloads here.
Lots of drivers and utilities to install. And the order matters. Easiest to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here .
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 71 of the User's Guide.

Toshiba Satellite L655 Sound Stopped Working

So, yesterday it was working fine. Around 7pm, the volume stopped working. I would turn it up and everything, NOTHING happened.
Now I can't even open the volume thing. It's just an icon, that when i click on, nothing happens anymore.
What do I do?

The probable reason none of the regulars have responded to this thread is that none of you have posted your full model name/number like Satellite L655-S5065, or your products part number like PSK2CU-00V001. Look on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your computer. We can probably safely assume you have Windows 7 64bit, but we really need your OS Version as well.
Let's try a proper system reset. Power off your system, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power on button for 30 seconds, replace battery and AC, power on, at the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter BIOS Setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, then try to boot into Windows again, and then see if this brings your sound back.
If that does not work, reply with all the above info for your individual systems.

My Toshiba Satellite p775-s7320 not recognizing the CD/DVD player (ODD)

Hello all,
I am having the problem as listed in the title in that my toshiba satellite p775-s7320 is not recognizing the built-in CD/DVD player anymore. I have the latest Bios upgrade from Toshiba. The last time this worked was earlier this year during the summer. Nothing abnormal or apparent has happened to the laptop to change anything internally, except the Bios upgrades.
Interestingly enough, there is power to the CD/DVD mechanism and the open/close features work perfectly, but the Bios can't "see" the ODD. So because the Bios doesn't see it as being attached, and the System doesn't "see" because the Bios doesn't, it doesn't matter that the Open/Close function works, because putting a good CD in with data on it is of no value.
I was considering trying to revert the Bios to an earlier one, but simply trying to load the older Bios through the Windows Bios software is a No-Go because the software won't allow me to go to an earlier Bios flash.
I'm at the end of the line with common options, other than trying to switch out the Cd/DVD for a brand new one. Something I don't want to do if I can avoid it, but I would as a last resort. As well, loading a fresh image is out of the question as I have too much accumulated software on my harddrive and don't really think the problems stims from that.
Otherwise, any other solutions may be worthwhile to try. I would really like to flash the Bios to an earlier time when the machine worked well, but I dont know how.
Thanks for taking a look. BTW, I have removed and replaced the current CD/DVD several times with no change in recognition by the Bios.

Satellite M30X: drive won't read data DVD-R's but plays DVD-R movies and CD's

I have a Toshiba M30X with DVD/CDRW combi drive.
I have accumulated 12gb of digital photo's that I wanted to clear but did not fancy the number of CD's that entailed so I purchased a LITEON EZ-DUB external DVD rewriter and made 3 DVD-R's full of JPEG's.
However, when I put these DVD's in the Toshiba combi drive, it clicks away for a moment or two but when I click on the combi drive in My Computer, the folder is empty and it says there's 0 bytes.
CD's still work, both audio and data, DVD movies play just fine, DVD-R's made on my Pioneer DVD recorder (for TV - looks like a video/nothing to do with PC) play fine, but it will not recognise DVD-R's with data (JPEG's or MP3's) on them.
It makes no difference which software was used (both Nero 6.6 and LITEON EZDUB) and it doesn't matter whether the discs are finalised, single session, multi session or what - it won't play any of them.
These discs however work perfectly in my 7 year old desktop with a 4 year old Sony DVD/CDRW combi.
I'm stumped.
I don't particularly want to reinstall windows in case it doesn't recognise the Recovery DVD and I seem to remember Microsoft One Note having to be activated by telephone with a code that is different each time you ask it to generate one.
It's a bit of a pain as I wanted to carry my photo's with me in my laptop bag.
I don't want to be carting around an external DVD writer just to read the DVD's.
I've updated the firmware for SD-R 2512.
It had no effect other than to freeze on an all black screen during restart - I had to hold down the power switch after 15 minutes in that condition.
The laptop is 1 year and 26 days old if that counts for anything.
Anyone have any ideas? Or do I just put up with it.

Hi
Well, I can only make some suggestions.
You are able to place many MP3 and Jpeg files on the DVD.
Maybe this is a reason why the explorer cannot handle the DVD.
Try to burn the DVD with JEPG picture but don't make the DVD full with these files.
You should let a free space on the medium. Maybe it helps.
But it's very strange for me and this is only a suggestion. I have never tired it and don't know if it helps.
I had a similar issue on my notebook but I have solved it by using a compatible medium. Some drives prefer different mediums for different kind of files.

Toshiba Satellite L650 - 14F : Experiences?

Hi, I just bought new laptop recently. Because of my job I had to make a quick start so I installed win 7 on it etc... Now I have a little bit of time to fiddle around with linux, so I thought of installing Arch distro. Did it a few times on a virtual box, but from my experience virtual box is just too idyllic environment to actually simulate real problems one can encounter during installation e.g. internet access.
Satellite L650 really have great performances, and I'm really satisfied with how it works, but I had problems connecting to internet when I fresh installed win7. Usually windows handle this automatically when I connect with cable, and then wireless drivers are downloaded etc... but I had install drivers to be able to connect over cable at first place.
So, because of that, I'm wondering if anyone had any experience with Satellite L650, and connecting him to internet or any other problems while installing arch? Also, I'd like to keep windows on my pc. I currently have one and only partition of ~500 gigs with windows on it, so Is it advisable to prepare partitions with windows partitioner in advance to prevent any "whoops, I accidentally erased my windows partition" problems?
(Yes, yes, I saw wiki on how to configure network, etc.. but I'd like to skip that step if possible )

It is the 10ec:8136 that identifies my card.
It is good that your system identifies the NIC in lspci. That ifconfig -a does not show it says that the kernel could not find a module to support your interface. You will need to find the correct driver for the NIC (based upon that 32 bit signature), and install it such that the kernel can find it.
Once we find it, getting it into your system is another matter. You said USB is not working. Can you boot from the hard disk or must you boot from CD? If you can boot from Disk, can you mount the CD? That might be a way to import the needed driver.
ok, so if I'm correct, this is it:
for 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1) after running lspci -n | grep 02:00 I got this:
02:00.0 0200: 1969:2060 (rev c1)
and for 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 (rev 01)
03:00.0 0280: 14e4:4727 (rev 01)
hope you can make something out of this, btw, wired connection is my priority now so I hope you can help. thanks!

Satellite L655-106 - CD/DVD drive does not read disks

Then try again

Toshiba Satellite L655-S5106
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Received brand new 3 years ago but rarely used. About 6 months ago, I received what most people are calling the BSOD. Never bothered to fix it at that time, but occasionally searched the internet for all the possible solutions. Still BSOD. Purchased from Toshiba the Recovery Media for the L650 Series (3-disc set). Inserted Disc 1 and tried to boot from CD. pressing "C" key. Still BSOD. For no reason, tried the F2, F8, F10, F12, and "0" key as well but still BSOD.
Don't know if this info is relevant or not, but the BSOD or trouble happened after the computer ran out of power while unattended with a DVD in the drive.
Also, (irrelevant or not) when trying to reboot laptop using "F" keys or "0", the laptop will turn on, fan will turn on, and then fan will turn off immediately. With the Recovery media in the drive, the fan turns on and stays on, but still BSOD. Same thing happens whether the battery pack is connected or not.
Very little knowledge with Windows OS and computers. Didn't know at the time 3 years ago that the OS was already installed and came without CDs, and didn't know that I had to make a recovery CD in case of situations like these.
What is my next move? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Here are some things to start with from the forum knowledge base:

How do I install Ubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite L670D-102

Hello
I have been trying to load Ubuntu 10.10 (tried both AMD64 and i386 versions of Desktop Edition) onto a Satellite L670D-102 using a Live CD. The CD spins for a while, there is some activity on the hard drive and then I get a flashing white cursor (a hyphen) on a black screen. I left it all night and it remained the same. I tried with a 'live' usb and again, no boot. The cds and usb work in other machines running both amd and intel cpus.
The sort of questions that spring to mind are:-
Is there some security or other setting within the cmos that prevents anything other than Windows being loaded?
Are Toshiba simply anti- Linux and I need a new machine?
Do I need a special bios to run Ubuntu?
Any help in resolving the issue would be welcome.

Hi
I use a Toshiba Satellite L655. It came with a Win7. The first thing I did after buying it was to wipe out Win7 and install ubuntu 10.10 on the entire hard disk (not a dual boot or Wubi install). Now I want to try out ubuntu 11.04 beta from a live usb and I am trying to change the boot order. The laptop doesn't boot from the usb drive. I am unable to enter the BIOS. I have tried pressing ESC, F2 etc while switching on the laptop. So far, I have not been able to access the BIOS setup.
I have tried googling and I read about Toshiba's "legacy-free" laptops. But am not sure if mine is such a one. Now, I don't have Win at all in my laptop. I have only ubuntu 10.10. I need to access the BIOS setup and change the boot order so that my laptop boots from the USB drive. How do I do this?
Any guidance would be welcome.

Problem with sound on my new Satellite L655-1FO

Hello
I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L655-1FO before 5 days , I install all driver on XP an my sound work ok , but today I connect my headphone and I didnt hear sound like music just some scratch sound and when I disconnect my headphones , there was no more sound from my PC .
I restarted but the problem stay. Whats happen with my pc , is it broken?
I need to know because I have 7 days to back it and get new or to contact with service?
Thanks

You must understand that nobody here can say for sure if something is broken or not. We an just speculate what the problem can be.
I recommend you to install WXP one more time to see if this issue will be fixed. If not contact your local dealer and ask for replacement.
In the headphones port there is small switch that disable internal speakers when external speakers are connected. Maybe this switch stuck somehow. Who knows?

How to switch off the LCD on Satellite L655-1JV?

Hello!
I have a *Toshiba Satellite L655-1jJV*, and I would like to know how can I *switch the LCD off*. I've tried to use the F5 key, but it doesn't give me the option to change (always the LCD on unless I connect an external monitor .
Of course, I mean, switch the lcd off while, for example, I got the monitor up, and I'm listening to music...
I'm really looking for the answer!

In users manuals document is clearly described when you should use FN+F5 key combination and it has nothing to do with switching LCD off.
If you dont need display and it should be OFF while you are listening music please change display settings in power options. In power settings there is option Turn off the display. Set it to 1 minute and everything will be OK.
