CD drive not reading some discs

I had this problem of market for some time.  Sometimes my CD player can not read some discs.  For example, I have a set of six discs of music, and it will not read discs of second and sixth in the game.  I put them in the drive, and nothing happens.  Not even an error message.  These are new records.

Any suggestions?  It is a Matshita UJDA755yDVD/CDRW in my IBM Thinkpad.

Thank you

Katherine

  • T61 DVD drive cannot read some discs

    I try to install H & R Block tax software, but the disk is not readable.  I ordered a replacement from the seller (Amazon) drive and still have the problem.  On the other hand, some discs work, for example, the H & R Block software 2 years ago.

    Tips on troubleshooting DVD player or replacement?

    These drives are 'plug and play', you don't even need a screwdriver. Unlock (the latch is in the drive, well visible, on the side RIGHT of your ThinkPad) pull chase him, insert the replacement, push the latch back in. Fact.

  • DVD drive can not read some discs

    So I have scowered the Internet trying to find an answer to my problem, but everyone always seems to have the same problem except theirs is slightly different so their solutions don't work for me.

    My problem is that my DVD drive (f) works perfectly fine except when I put the CD - RW that I used to save files to my old Toshiba laptop, my laptop (also a Toshiba) seems to ignore my CD drive (d), but which has never really bothered before.

    So my DVD player works perfectly fine for other CD or DVD that I put in, it's only the CD that I used on my old laptop. When I put one in, I can hear it trying to read the CD, then it's just a few stops, when I double click to open the drive, it just comes up with a message saying "Please insert a disc into drive F:."

    The CD works perfectly well on my dads, which is also a Vista laptop so I do not understand why mine doesn't seem to like their reading.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated I need the contents of the CD to my university work.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    CD have a tolerance + - and your must read on the edge out of the tolerance of these discs. They can be given
    However, it is generally more economical to replace the disk that can or mentioned read those.

  • Satellite A100-447 - DVD player does not read some discs

    Hello

    I have a 4 month old Satellite 100-447 (PSAAN), came preloaded with Vista Home Premium and a carpet * CD/DVD super-multi UJ-850 s player.

    The DVD player does not work properly. It will recognize a few blank, but never DVD-R DVD and won't recognise any DVD at all serious. He is very good with CD and DVD movie discs. It's just recordable DVD where there is a problem.

    Also when you try to write to a DVD, when he chooses to recognize a TI-error in half way through.

    What can I do?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    You can do the follwowing:

    Go to this website http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp,

    Download the latest update of the firmware for this drive, install it, and then try again.

    Sometimes, the manufacturer must update their readers for the newer recordable media and so I think that it is possible that your drive is simply not up to date.

    Open the drive to check if the DVD reader accumulates dust and dirt, if so, the cold air from the hair dryer allows you to clean the inside of the DVD drive. Be sure to not blow on the optical sensor orally, or clean it with a cloth of cotton with water or alcohol. After cleaning, insert a DVD disc on the drive to see if it works.

  • My hard drive has trouble reading some discs

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C655 6.1 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    I had problems with my disc drive will not read some game discs. Most of the games that no longer work, allowing to work perfectly. Now when I put in the drive, the drive makes weird noises as it tries to read the disc, but he can't. Some of the games will install very well, but then not play.

    Music and film discs usually work very well, however. It's just my computer games which have this problem and not even all of them. I had some extremely scratched work very well when a new brand will not.

    If anyone has an idea as to what is the problem please help.

    Thank you!

  • SD-2212 drive does not read some DVD - Satellite 1410

    Hello every1,
    I have the Satellite 1410 604 for more than 2 years, with player combo mentioned above...
    It serves me right, except that it does not read certain types of dvd media, and I use only high quality DVD Verbatim...
    It happens that in the last months. It is not my main computer but it's to use in my house, and it really bothers me when my sister or father takes the new A60 Pro satellite on the road (its battery is better), I can't use last discs on it. So if there is a cause of upgrade, firmware I can't find on this site...

    Thanks in advance...

    Hello

    I don t think that the firmware update will solve this problem because this pilot acknowledged this DVD some time ago.
    In addition, I put t found any firmware of this drive on the Toshiba site.

    But check if the disk by removing the procedure will solve this problem. So why go to Device Manager and remove the disc. After again starting the operating system should recognize the drive again

    mkuholr,
    When you say that you "tried other cd rom" do you mean you replaced the drive to CD or just tried another disc?  If you haven't tried another drive and it's something that you are able to do, I would say that.  It is possible that it could be hardware related.

    I would also say that you check that you do not have any type of infection on your system.  Get rid of malware Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check the cables
    both ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power
    and contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system manufacturer
    and the manufacturer of the device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.
