| 4 ignatius, on Jul 24, 2008 6:01:17 am BSTAfter spending over 8 hours last weekend doing all the fixes imaginable (deleting registries, etc.), I went on a search to buy a new drive. I have a Vaio VGN-fe880. This was an incredible chore. Sony wanted $470 for a replacement, piss me off. I finally found one at a place called Pell electronics for about $200. And supposedly it's fitted for my Vaio model. You have to be careful about the bezel and bit end to fit the side of your laptop. It came in the mail but I'm on the road so can't test it yet.
Needless to say I'm fairly hacked off about this. The computer is only a year and a half old. | 5 J-Train, on Jul 27, 2008 4:39:20 pm BSTI had the same problem, i went into device manager and vista had an exclamation point on my cd rom drive. I am a Cis/Networker and i like challenges but this was pissing me off. I finally swallowed my pride and called Toshiba they ended up sending me to this site.
Goto this with a ton of discretion - my pc is a Toshiba Satellite A205-s5000

This fixed my cd-rom - everything works now
The dvd/cd rom i have is Matshita Dvd-ram UJ-850S ATA Device - if you do not have this cd-rom or a Toshiba A205-S5000 i strongly discourage you from going to this and calling your provider.
Enter that site at your own risk - it is a registry fix | 6 oranga daniel, on Jul 31, 2008 4:42:55 pm BSTHey J-train, thanks a million your trick worked am back to business. dan from nairobi kenya |

| 50 Zydor, on Dec 30, 2008 1:18:51 pm GMTJ-Train - that was a life saver, I am forever grateful you took the time and trouble to post.
For those searching for this problem. My details were:
Matshita-DVD-RAM-UJ-850S was not properly recognised, would not eject (had to do it manually via the hole with a paper clip, as the software eject routine was failing), DVD or CD would spin a couple of times and then die, and windows reported error 19, incomplete registry information. I have a Sony VAIO VGN-AR51E, 15 months old, very reliable - great machine - until this. OpSys is Vista Ultimate. Huge problem for me as I need it for my own Business, my Company & livelihood depended on that drive working.
Went to all sorts of places, tech lines, support (including Sony VAIO), no joy or a response "reload original image backup" - yea right, and blow away 15 months work necessitating another data restore and re-installing god knows how much software after 15 months of activity (this knee jerk cue-card driven response from "techs" on "support lines" who have just about recognised a pc, and read out generic cue card solutions are dam lethal and need shooting at birth).
After searching I came across this thread. I took a safety copy of the Registry. I de-installed the drive via device manager, ran the link J-Train gave (which installs a registry fix), did a total power down, restarted, Vista picked up the drive, searched for the driver on the laptop, installed it - bingo job done, took 2 mins.
Gets my vote - Many Thanks J-Train.
Regards

| 53 Aleksey, on Jan 7, 2009 11:12:46 am GMTThank you.
This solve the problem on Lenovo R61, WinXP.
Greetings from Denmark. |
| 54 IAIN, on Jan 8, 2009 3:41:17 pm GMTOH YES! IT WORKS!
I had a TS-H553 DVD rewriter and it just stopped working. Tried everything: search for new drivers, uninstall, reinstall, open up PC – unplug and replug. Error 39 every time.
Having read some lousy reviews of the drive I assumed it was a physical problem.
So I bought a Pioneer DVR-216D. Exactly the same problem. Tried everything.
Went to www.tinyurl.com/toshibadvd (even though now using a Pioneer).
Downloaded the cure.
Had to uninstall the Pioneer, searched for New Hardware. Found it, clicked on it and it worked.
So, J-Train, thank you very much indeed!

| 55 Nancy, on Jan 15, 2009 7:48:17 am GMTPlease tell me the registry fix for the Matshita Cd-Rom Drive. I'm having the same problem with the drive. I also wasn't sure you were recommeding the website to go to or not. If so, please confirm the right website to help with the fix. This is so frustrating. I've spent 4 days trying to solve the problem.
Thank you,
Nancy | 56 IRGREEN, on Jan 15, 2009 4:41:35 pm GMTHello Nancy
Yes, the cure at 5 J-Train, on Sunday July 27 (above) did the trick.
Best wishes

| 81 marrow, on May 18, 2009 12:42:15 am BSTJ-train, was reluctant to mess with the registry, but it totally worked on my Satellite A305, running Vista. Backed up my registry first, disabled DVD, installed fix, restarted, re-enabled DVD and Bingo! Should have done it months ago. :\ Thanks man. |
| 82 teymour, on May 20, 2009 9:02:31 am BSTHey J-train, thanks a million your trick worked either on asus |
| 83 Hurudão, on Jun 9, 2009 10:38:49 pm BSTI had the same problem with my matshita-dvd-ram-uj-850s-ata-device-driver. it didn't read my cd/dvd and telling me error 39. I went to a authorized fixing store and they told me that I was supposed to by another driver...My company helpdesk also could not fix it in the first moment in another Dell computer I use for business. I found this page with J-Trays recomendation and a lot of related succesfull experiences. I tried the J-Trays recomendation a little bit scared at begining. After I reeboot my computer, My CD/DVD was like magic running smoothly. Many thanks J-Trays, You saved me a lot of money !!! Hurudão | 109 Alex, on Nov 14, 2009 6:22:04 pm GMTI have the same issue with my DVD Burner. It does not read, burn, play anything... Can you please help me out? |
