  Hello

  If the CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Device Manager and BIOS, it seems to be defective and must be replaced.
  What do you think about this?

  You can exchange the car yourself. Check for a compatible CD/DVD Player user manual or go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new drive to swap.

  Sorry, but if the drive is not listed in the BIOS seems to be defective.

  Good bye

• CD/DVD-ROM problems, drive not detected AND the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager

  I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.

  Hello
  I have a toshiba laptop 9100 that does not show me the sound card in Device Manager.

  I recently changed the laptop bobdy and uses a disk hard work that work very well with my old laptop which also has the same model and the sound used to work properly with this one. but since I changed my laptop, the sound just does not.

  I also tried to install all the latest drivers that I am running windows xp sp2, and there are drivers available who have a difficulty for this os. But when I try and install the drivers it always ends with a message warning "drivers are not installed.

  I tried to see if there is another way in which I can configure my sound, but it simply doesn't.

  Help, please!

  thanx

  Contact the Service partner and let check the device. Sorry, but in this case I put t see another solution.

• Satellite A100: CD/DVD drive does not appear in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

  The CD/DVD drive does not appear in the window manager and I can't incert CD
  The BIOS displays "none" instead of "optical device".

  This means that the CD device is dead?

  Hey Micky,

  Unfortunately it's probably :-(. You can try to remove the optical drive and then reinsert it into Notepad, and then marketing and see if it is recognized as a new device.

  Check also that it is not displayed in Device Manager and if it is remove before trying the above.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive is not listed in the BIOS or Device Manager

  1. the original drive does not work. After inserting a disc shines the light of the drive and it runs - but nothing else.
  A little investigation shows no optical drive listed in the BIOS or Device Manager (naturally).

  2. perhaps I would reinsert the disc, but I can't find any instructions on internet about this disc removal/replacement.
  Or in the operating manual.

  Can someone direct me to these instructions?

  Thank you very much

  S manual is not the same thing as maintenance manuals. Please note that this is not the same and the exact description on laptop procedure disassembly is only authorized service.

  Anyway, as far as I know the optical disk drive is fixed with a screw and it can be removed from the underside. The screw is placed near the cover of exact memory on the optical drive. Not on side cooling event, but on the other side.

  Be careful because everything you do is at your own risk.

• HARD drive internal not recognized by Device Manager.

  I've been trolling these forums for the last few days in search of some answers, but nothing seems to get close to my problem.

  First basic info. Dell Inspirion D630 laptop computer Windows XP Prof SP3. Hardware config: 120 GB drive HARD internal, DVD player, 2 GB of memory. Pretty basic configuration. No hardware changes have been made.

  Here's the senerio problem. Notebook PC starts without any problems, but while XP is loading all the services I get error that meet "Generic Host Process for Win32 services has encountered a problem and needs to close...". ', the error msg and the laptop is pretty useless at the moment (explorer, Task Manager, etc.) does not run. I then close the laptop and can start in "safe mode", but pass messages "the instruction at 001ba6ae tried to access memory at the location 000000, the memory could not be written" every few minutes. But I can access Explorer, Task Manager, etc.. Thought may have viruses or malicious and software ran Mcafee several times and came back clean everytime. Could not MalwareBytes to run, but was able to run GMER (it was suggested on the forums). There is no report on any specific malware, but it showed that several sectors on the HARD disk showed malware like behavior. But he also showed that he could not detect the hard drive (showed the HKLM...\CurrentControlSet\ info for the reader, he tried to find). So long story even longer, made a few inquiries via these forums as determined as SVCHOST. EXE was not while trying to run "winmgmt. Also discovered was that the Device Manager and Storage Manager does not show the Hard Drive AT ALL. They do not show the DVD player and if I install a USB they show, but they show that the Disk 0 in the lists. (If installed USB watch drive 0, another DVD wise shows disk 0). If I open Windows Explorer, it shows the drive c: hard, I can access all the files on the disk without problem. If I show the 'properties' for the reader, it indicates the correct used/unused space for the reader. If I click on the "Hardware" tab, the only one listed is the DVD player.

  So I know a bit what is the problem, I just do not know what to do to FIX IT. other that my last resort resort which would be to do a full clean install of windows. Any suggestions?

  Sorry for the long winded question, but I wanted to provide as much information as possible.

  See you soon.

• No Audio output device is installed and no "Sounds" not listed in Device Manager.

  I turned on the computer yesterday and immediately noticed the Red "x" of white/circle on the "speaker" icon. Roll the cursor over the icon gives me the message "no Audio output device installed. I have already read through the forums and tried some of the suggestions offered without result. Here's a quick deterioration of the situation. I am running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium service pack 2 on a Dell Dimension DM061 (32 bit). No updates have been downloaded and the system was not put into hibernation. I tried restoring the system without result. The Device Manager shows not yet "Sound, video and game controllers" to watch the drivers or disable them. He has not disabled or disconnected devices to display. To the best of my knowledge the soundcard is part of the motherboard with this system, so I've no idea what driver I could find. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  I was hoping that the main issue was in the BIOS but it is also why I posted links to Dell
  Support and their forums because he may be known issues with your model.

  Check this click - Device Manager - anywhere in the area in white/white - and then VIEW - chech to see the
  Hidden - devices you can locate the audio device it?

  -----------------------------------------------------------------

  If necessary:

  Try an InPlace upgrade or repair Installation to see if your audio device can be reset.
  If so it would probably be a good idea to update or re - install the latest drivers.

  You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
  Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
  machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a good
  backup or 3 (security in redundancy).

  If those don't help you probably need a real computer store (leeks and pics

  ---------------

  Another possibility if there is a problem with the hardware with the audio device:

  Car sound can be turned off in the BIOS and card USB sound a speedboat can be used
  that is not expensive.

  Use your favorite search engine search - sound card USB or USB its adapter.

  2. I installed the drivers from the site web of Toshiba - but always hardware WIFI not be picked up by any driver. Device Manager showing that a single 'Ethernet LAN' not installed-may be it is the WIFI card but once again on three pilots (real teak/intel/Ac..). which is the right selection computer-based laptop model No.? as none does not detect the hardware.

  Appreciate the quick response in this regard.

  Hi mate,

  Just a simple question: have you activated the wireless network adapter using the hardware on the computer switch portable and key combination FN + F8?

  Satellite L300 is permanently equipped with wireless network card because a friend of mine had the same specifications.

  However, you should try to update the WLAN driver. Check the download page of the Toshiba driver for an update.

• My optical drive is not displayed in "Device Manager" the eject button does not work

  Latitude Dell with Windows 7

  My optical drive does not show in the "Device Manager", the eject button does not work - I can only eject through the pin hole.

  This means that the drivers are missing or that the disc is broken?

  Its possible the drive has failed. Is this an internal or an external drive? In both cases, make sure that all cables are properly connected and functional, including the power cables. If its a USB external drive then try another USB port.

  But, assuming that you tried to update the drivers (get the latest compatible drivers on the manufacturers for your brand/model/OS(32/64 bit) PC support site and install to see if that helps - first set a system restore point)) and then see if this MS article helps - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems?wa=wsignin1.0
