Toshiba SD-C2502

[NIKOLOUS]

Hi all,

I have a laptop equipped with this DVD-Rom which i bought in Hong Kong. For some reason I can only play Chinese DVDs but not dvds of any other countries. I tried using ANYDVD but still it doesn't work. There is no error message that pops up. I have tried using powerdvd and also windvd. no error message. the disc just keeps on spinning but nothing happend. Please help me.

Maybe your drive has problems reading dual/double layer DVDs (DVD9).

Thank you for your reply.

If that was the case (that my drive has trouble reading DVD-9 Discs), is ther any way to change that?

Maybe you can adjust the laser power setting but I don't know how. Apparently you can do it by just turning on a screw. I have an SD-C2102 that has problems with DVD9s and tried turning a couple of the screws on the laser head without luck.

Ended up picking another Toshiba drive on EBay and using the caddy from the old one. Just have to be careful with the firmware (master/slave settings) on the replacement.
