Blue-Ray player instead of the DVD player?

I have a 1285dx DV7 comes with a standard DVD player. Is it possible to upgrade to a blue-ray player?

I hope it could be as simple that buying a player blue ray (eBay?) to replace the dvd in the laptop drive, then the upgrade of the software for me to play blueray discs.

If it is a viable possibility, do I need a drive blueray HP or Dell will work?

Win7 Ultimate 64-bit

8 GB of Ram with a Corsair SSD

These discs should work with your DV 7 if advertised properly...

you will need a Blu - Ray player to play Blu - ray movies, and the drive should be detected automatically as soon as you install it... no driver required...

    Hello

    1. you can find it in any store of good computer similar to a small number of these (scroll down a bit)

    2. your machine must have a similar to this (or even than mine) recovery disk/partition:

    Please don't touch in it. You can also create a set of disks (only once) and keep it safe. My machine (also a dv7-7xxx) needs 5 DVDs to create. The recovery partition together with recovery dics can be used to adjust the machine to the day. Please read this for more information:

  • Blu Ray player can not read the DVD. It can read CDs and Blu Ray discs, but not DVD.

    Recently, I lost my hard drive.  Dell sent me a new disk with the drivers that came with the computer.

    I just noticed that my Blu Ray player is no longer playing DVDs.  I don't know if the hard drive crash has nothing to do with it, or if it's a coincidence.

    Windows says I have the latest driver.

    The computer is a Dell XPS 8300.   Is the Blu Ray player: bd - re bh30n hl-dt-st.

    The player has not served almost at all.   I read that there are the eyes for the Blu Ray vs DVD, then maybe the DVD part has failed.

    I'm always suspect that miss me a piece of software or a changed value.

    Any ideas?

    For all of you, the poor souls who shared my problem on the internet, I got beyond that.   Even though all said I had the latest driver, I found someone who said that they had downloaded a newer driver form the LG site and it fixed the problem.   Well, BH30N wasn't a model # on the LG site, but I found here: http://www.firmwarehq.com/download_1703-file_BH30N-A103.zip.html Norton said it was OK, I clicked on the EXE file, he said that he had me upgrade from A101 to A103 and suggested that I reload.   Once I did, my Blu Ray player will read the DVD fine.

    Hello

    My wife wants to use his laptop L850 for watching movies.

    Can I change the DVD player for a reader Blu - Ray.

    If so should what model or specifications I look for?

  • Satellite P850 - where to get the Toshiba Blu - ray player?

    Hello

    Recently, I reformatted my p850/049 for windows 7. I tried to install the drive Blu - Ray Toshiba V1.0.3.196A, the file did not work at all and when I tried to install it manually "can't find drive in your system. Installation interrupted. On the download page, it is listed as a patch, but where can I find the original file? I have SP1 Windows 7 pro 64-bit, all date of May 24, 2013

    I found V1.0.5.110 of the American version of the Toshiba support site and this installed and play DVDs and it tries to open a Blu - Ray player, but it gets stuck on a white screen and do not play or let me do anything like scene jump or go to the menu. There is no error message complaining about the region or corrupted files or anything it just goes to a blank screen, with controls that are available, but they do nothing. As I said dvd works perfectly, just not blu - ray.

    The drive itself seems to work normally on this screen and when you try to click the button it comes up with a circle with a line through it when you try to click on the buttons as a dvd drive normal if you tried to jump by the warnings of copyright and the index of time is always a small number that is 25 seconds or more. Like he's trying to play a small segment as the section of the copyright or something.

    I tried a number of different Blu - ray discs, and none of them work. I downloaded a trial of another program of Blu - ray player and it plays Blu - Ray still those who do not work on the Toshiba drive (for the hardware works), so I'm looking for a free one that works without a watermark on the screen. It seems silly as I hoped my machine READING BLU - RAY without me having to buy software.

    Any help would be appreciated

    > I tried to install the drive Blu - Ray Toshiba V1.0.3.196A, the file did not work at all and when I tried to install it manually "can't find drive in your system. Installation interrupted.

    Yes, it is a patch file and you can not install this without a full version installed.

    But I found on the page of the Australian driver Toshiba Toshiba Video Player 5.0.0.16 - A
    Have you tried to install this application?

    On the other hand, I could recommend the use of the freeware such as VLC Player software.
    It's really great and in my opinion the best player you can get for free.

  • 'No disc' error on the Toshiba BDX1200KY blu - ray player

    (Sorry, there seems to be no jury of blu ray player)

    I bought this drive blu - ray 3 months ago and a week ago I had a 'No Disc' error when I tried to play a DVD. The machine plays all my DVDs without problems before if is not a concern for the region. Now, he will not play one of my DVDs and they are all clean and intact. However, she still plays my blu ray discs without any problem. I bought a blu ray disc lenses cleaning hoping that would solve the problem, but it didn't. So, I bought a DVD lens cleaning disc but being a DVD itself, she also returned an error of 'no disc '.

    The problem is that this is my second machine in about 6 months. Exactly the same thing happened with my previous Toshiba BDX1200KY and the electronic shop guys couldn't get out and gave me a replacement so it is very likely that the fault is mine.

    These machines have distinct popsicles for Blu Ray and DVD? Can someone suggest a solution. I smoke and I often stop the machine. It is pointles continuing until I have it worked.

    Unfortunately, it's a computer / laptop Forum options so I m afraid there is not a lot of people who can provide you with solutions

    However, I put t think that this player is equipped with different laser lens it s a goal that must manage all disks

    My player couldn't handle all the disks because the goal was dirty. I unmount the drive to access the lens and managed to clean it with a cotton tip and a little alcohol.
    So it helped in my case

  • Reinstall the Toshiba Qosmio F750 for 3D Blu - ray player

    Dear team of Support from Toshiba,

    I have installed the Toshiba Video Player 'new' v4.00.6.09 in the download section for F750. After that, the 'old' Toshiba 3D Blu - ray player crashes as soon as I started it. As the new installed 'Toshiba Video Player v4.00.6.09 f' does not support Bluray 3D disks and has been dated to 2010, I uninstalled it. But the Toshiba 3D Blu - ray player broke again. So I decided to uninstall and reinstall the 'old' "Toshiba 3D Bluray player. Uninstallation of was no problem, but is not possible to reinstall, because the download for Toshiba player Blu - ray 3D download section official Toshiba 'Toshiba Bluray 3d Player V.1.0.1.299' is only one file to update that needs an older version installed of the Toshiba Bluray 3d player.

    Dear Supprot team, where / how, please, can I get the Installer * 'full installation' files for the Toshiba the F750 3d Bluray player? (A complete DVD system recovery and reinstallment of just for this player would not be a good option, especially my family and I would like).
    Thank you very much for your help,

  • Desktop HP ENVY Phoenix 810qe: Blu - ray player and SuperMulti DVD burner

    I am interested in the HP Store and want to buy HP Envy 810qe desktop. It has a 'Blu - ray player and SuperMulti DVD burner." Can I burn data and media projects of discs blu - ray recordable with this burner? I have two different answers when I talk with the Sales Department of online chat.

    If the description says "drive Blu - ray and DVD SuperMulti burner."  Then it can only burn to DVD or CD.  In the description in the "customize and buy" button is says - play music and movies, backup files and burn your own CD and DVD.

    There is no possibility to opt for this particular model, unfortunately.

  • Burned DVD using Windows DVD Maker times only once on my Blu - ray player

    Original title: burned dvd

    When I do a cd burned with my windows dvd maker, dvd will play only once on my blu - ray player separated from the TV.  It works fine the first time, but the Player cannot find the disc any time after that.  I use dvd + r discs.  Is there a formatting problem, or do I need to get the dvd + rw discs.  I'm really at a loss.  Thanks for your help guys!

    Hi frapachino21,

    -The problem occurs with all CD/DVD you burn using Windows DVD Maker?

    -After playback of the disc on the Blu - ray drive, the drive is not detected on your desktop/computer laptop with no problems?

    To use certain kinds of CD or DVD discs outside of your computer, you must close the session, which is a process that prepares the disc to be read by other computers and players.

    You can try to close or finalize the CD/DVD and check if it makes a difference.

  • How to burn a video DVD so it will run on Blu - Ray player?

    I worked on a video for the 70th anniversary of my mom for months now in items 14.1 first.  The video was made, but can't burn.  I am able to burn AVCHD format and watch it on two of my Blu - ray players.  However, when I burn the video in DVD format, it will not play on one of my Blu - Ray players.  Here's what I've done for troubleshooting:

    -I can play other DVDs made House (made by others in previous versions of items) on R-media.

    -J' changed my DVD burner for the region of the United States and re-burnt, but that it was not fixed.

    -J' went through the specifications for one of my Blu - Ray players and it supports DVD-video on media r region 1 (US).

    -J' tried Verbatim-r and + R + R and HP media.

    -I can also run the DVD on my computer.

    -J' have opened the files on my computer and see the open DVD and Video_TS folders. I see the following files in Video_TS:

    VIDEO_TS. BUP

    VIDEO_TS. IFO

    VIDEO_TS

    VTS_01_0.BUP

    VTS_01_0, IFO

    VTS_01_0

    VTS_01_1

    The problem is that I am showing the video in a few days (in another State) and have already been told that the facility has a DVD player at low prices.  Help, please.

    Suppose you are in the USA your framerate or 29.97 and 720 x 480 (NTSC)

    720 x 576 PAL European East, if this is the setting you have chosen which is the reason why you can not play on a standalone. A computer plays everything.
