    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  • CD DVD does not read by the reader of cd/dvd from my PC

    guys, my PC does not read DVD discs for a while now... tried troubleshooting several times but I keep getting a message that "the DVD/CD drive works properly".. .He video plays audio CDs and CD fine, it's just the DVD; It stops after spinning for like 2 seconds... that's Samsung R580... would appreciate any help I can get a pls.

    Among the failures most common is the DVD/CD drive.

    If yours is a laptop, the problem is the availability and price.  It is an article of OEM available only from your PC manufacturer.  Cost is probably about $100, but generally quite easy to install.

    If yours is a desktop computer, the problem is easy to solve and low cost.  About $20.  Remove all power, press and hold the power switch IT for at least 7 seconds.  Set on the side with the threads on the bottom. Take off the side.  You may need to remove the front as well.  The DVD player is held in place usually by 2 screws easily accessible.  You must remove the 2 cables from the back.  Remove the old one.  Drag another in its place.  Fix the two wires, they only fit one way.  Equip the 2 screws.  Replace the side and front on.

    There is a simple alternative.  It is a portable DVD player that connects to the computer via a USB cable.  Some receive their power of this cable.  He turns around $25 and is completely transferable from one computer to the other.  Also small and light.

  • CD/DVD does not read discs on Pavilion G6 2293SA laptop computer running Windows 8 :(

    Hey there

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this.

    I bought the G6 Pavilion in November last year. When I got home I went to a recognize (as recommended) recovery disks but the laptop there is a blank disc in the drive. I tried a couple of different brands, but nothing worked and I got to the PC world. They couldn't work out what the problem was if gave me a replacement, and exactly the same thing happened. They claimed that it was probably one of the "many problems with window 8'. Finally, I tried some Sony DVD - R discs and it worked (hooray!).

    However, since that time the player rarely works properly. It seems to work ok program disks, but don't like them burn all discs. It has never worked through iTunes, for a few days, it let me burn some discs of music with Cyberlink Power2Go but it no longer works.

    Sometimes when I go hard disk it will say there is no disk in it (when it exists) or is it in use? We'll see what he does today... OK, Virgin (Sony CD - RW) drive... the hard disk is whirring... but nothing happens on the screen. OK, navigate to my computer... Double-click the icon and it says: "How do you use this disk" and gives me two options: "as a USB' or 'player with a CD/DVD '. However, it only allows me to choose the first option (which I don't) and even if I click ok on the flash drive option, it says that the drive must be formatted, mess around trying to do for about 10 minutes and then says format failed.

    Can anyone suggest anything? PC World that it is a software problem and my problem (thank you guys). Really grateful for any help.

    See you soon

    Paul

    I suggest using the corresponding update firmware in the driver download section.  Who looks more like a problem of hardware/firmware for me. Use Device Manager to select the firmware update software good optical disc. If the firmware update does not resolve the problem, thencontact HPfor warranty repair.

    Hello!

    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager CD/DVD, and then restart the laptop. It work?

    If this isn't the case, you should try to remove the upper and lower filters:
    (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
    2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  • Satellite L870-14 x - CD/DVD does not read CD

    I bought this Toshiba Satellite L870-14 portable x on 12 October and he's really starting to annoy me now.

    I lost hours and hours trying to install my own content of the previous laptop. I have endless questions, trying to get the product key for MS Office 2010 to be accepted, and NOW I can't get the CD/DVD device to read any CD, including a CD for office 2007 as a stopgap.

    Does anyone have the same problems as me or I just bought a laptop from Trash.

    My heart is broken!
    Thank you.

    Hello

    Start from the beginning...
    Turn on the device, press F8 and choose fix my computer.
    Then choose HARD drive recovery.

    This procedure would fix the laptop back to factory settings.
    It is important because in this case, you might check if material of your laptop is affected or is malfunctioning...
    After the recovery procedure, everything should work properly.

    The CD/DVD drive should work fine, but in some very rare cases not all disks of all manufacturers of disc would be compatible... its always possible that some brands would not be handled properly.

    Hi Luis

    This can really be a problem with the hardware of the CD/DVD drive
    Maybe the ODD died and only replacement players will help you.

    But as Akuma already said, you must contact the ASP for and check.
    Guys should be able to provide clarification, perhaps there is a little chance for fixing without replacement.

    Hi Bill,

    My mistake, I forgot that your laptop is a slot player.

    You should find that any store computer will store a disc, which you can load into the reader who will perform the cleanup - the disc itself was fine on brushes that will clean the lens.  The only point I want to emphasize, is to make sure that when you ask one of these discs, make sure what you say it's for portable optical drive as some are not suitable for the drives in the computer.

    Kind regards
