Can Pavilion dv6 (2010, Windows 7) play Blu - Ray discs? If so, how to operate?

Hello!

I have a computer laptop dv6 Pavilion 2010 (Windows 7), and I can't play Blu - Ray discs.

In my control panel (Control Panel-> hardware) and sound-> Auto Play, it lists "Blu - Ray Disc movie" as one of the media types, I can choose a value for default, but the only options it gives me are: "Open folder to view files using Windows Explorer", "Take no action" and "Ask Me every time."  So, I can not select a program to use to read discs Blu - Ray here.

I tried to put in a Blu - Ray disc and see if it will open with Windows Media Player, iTunes, and HP MediaSmart, but none of these programs recognize there is a disc in the drive.

When I insert the disc, the computer seems to recognize that I put something in, but when I check "Devices with removable storage" in the folder "My Computer", it is said that there is no disc in the drive.

Then... I have two questions.
(1) can my computer even Blu - Ray discs play?

(2) if it is able to do, why my computer doesn't recognize Blu - Ray discs I put in?

I don't really know what I would do to this subject, so if someone saw that they are willing to give, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you!!

Hello

The optical drive of your laptop is not able to read Blu ray discs - there are replacement blu ray capable drives available for your laptop that can be seen (including the alternative procedure) on Page 70 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Hello

    First of all, if you still wish to reinstall HP MediaSmart DVD, the latest installer can be downloaded from the following link.

    HP MediaSmart DVD.

    However, the issue of the update with MediaSmart DVD is well known, so I would really say that replacement by the version of HP from Cyberlinks PowerDVD 10 that seems to be a much better solution. You can install this software as follows.

    First, download the latest installer for this on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

    Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder and double-click the installer for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once this done, see if your Blu - ray disc now plays OK.

    Hi, Bob:

    Have you installed the required playback blu - ray software?

    If you did, then I don't know why the drive can't read the blue ray discs.

    If you do not, please try this software.

  • How can I get my dvd player to play blu ray discs.

    The software plays fine other DVDs, but won't play Blu Ray. This is the Pavilion dv7 3165 with operating system Windows 7 Premium. I never succeeded with this problem and thought that he would solve with updates...

    Download Cyberlink Power DVD10 and save it to the desktop, not in a temporary folder

    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp53001-53500/sp53029.ex

    After it's over, do a right click and go to properties and you should see what is in the screenshot.

    There has been many problems with software programs of virus blocking critical files in the player (s) Blu - ray. For the most part, disable the antivirus or programs was sufficient, but with McAfee, it had to be completely uninstalled. If at this point, uninstall your antivirus software, no matter what it is, and if there is a special tool required by the developer to uninstall properly, use their tool when it will exist. I know Norton and, possibly, Avira requires an uninstall tool.

    Once it is uninstalled restart your laptop and you will get the warning typical of Windows that the world will come to an end to crash, because you do not have an anti virus program on your computer. Just ignore it and continue with the installation of power DVD10, note that it is important that you stay connected to the internet, the software to install correctly. The link is directly from the view of HP it is has no viruses, Trojans etc attached.

    After it is done installing, restart your machine. This is important.

    After the restart, go to control panel, then Auto Play and make sure power DVD10 is chosen for Blu - ray discs, if it has not been chosen click the menu drop down and choose to do and save the setting. Restart your computer and go back to auto play and make sure that the setting has been saved.

    Then, open the drawer of the DVD/Blu-ray with the button on the front of the drawer itself and leave the charge for Blu - ray automatically with the opening of Cyberlink DVD 10

    At this point, you can reinstall your anti virus software if the drive Blu - ray continues to work then you will have to go into the advanced settings and find which files are blocked in the drive and let them. It's not always easy, so I advise to use ESET (not free) or Microsoft Security Essentials (free). I have used in the past and they never gave me any problems with my Blu - ray players.

  • HP Pavilion dv6t-1100: no longer plays blu - ray

    From this computer with Windows Vista, and I have upgraded to Windows 7. Recently, I did a clean install of Windows 7 using a disc and now problems play a blu - ray disc. When I insert the disc, Windows Media Center opens and asks me if I want to check the updates. Regardless of whether I choose Yes, he keeps asking if I want to update. I installed the latest version of the MediaSmart DVD software and a stand-alone version of the software MVP. I don't seem to have the Cyberlink software more, and I don't know why. Could be the problem? I vaguely remember having to download something to fix this problem when I updated before, but I don't remember where or what.

  • Qosmio X 500-116 will not play blue-ray discs

    Hello world

    bit of a newbie on laptops but my Qosmio dvd player won't play Blu - ray movies using the "Toshiba DVD Player", although it will play normal DVD movies no problem. I use the wrong software? search through programs pre-installed, I as ' nt seem to find those related to playback of a blue-ray disc! Or the problem would be something to do with not having the correct drivers? The laptop can read BD - RE drive, and I can look at the files but when I try and play movies Blue-ray using "Toshiba DVD player" he either says "application not found" or "launcher from DVD Toshiba cannot detect Toshiba DVD Player.

    Any help would be appreciated, thx

  • I have a Pavilion dv6 3123c Windows 7 64-bit recovery disc?

    I have a Pavilion dv6 3123c l 64-bit of Windows 7, which began to stop spontaneously. I took it and he was working on and it seemed to work a little better, but would still be closed when you try to view the video. I got a new laptop for Christmas, but I wanted to return it to the factory settings to see if that solve problems and still usable. Whenever I try to run the system recovery it stops in the middle of the procedure. I can't find online for this particular system recovery disks. There are all the other drives I could use or any other option for this return to the factory settings

    Try a HP partner. The price is expected to be on the same $30,00 USD + - $ 5. I tried the link that I provided to the partner of HP and he shows them as the set for $27.00.

    Hello

    If you use HP MediaSmart DVD to read Blu - ray disc, try the following.

    HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution.  Download the installer for it on the link below and save it to your desktop.

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp53001-53500/sp53029.exe

    When the download is complete, open windows panneau Panel configuration, open programs and features, right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - once this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, double-click the installer for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once this done, see if your Blu - ray disc now plays OK.

    Kind regards
