  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in 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 manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of 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.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

• 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.

• Satellite P200 - 1FC - CD/DVD does not read discs

  I have a Satellite P200 - 1FC ' CD/DVGW TSSTcorp TS-L632D ATA Device will not read CDs or DVDs and do not respond. Device Manager shows that this device does not work correctly.

  Can you please help?

  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}
  (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
  (4) restart.

• 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.

• 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

  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.

  I have a Satellite A110-179 and you have a problem with my CD/DVD Multi writer.
  The DVD drive light is constantly orange. It won't read any CD I already updated the BIOS.

  That's happened?

  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.

  Good luck

• 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

  All the other standard size DVD, CD works good about it. Its complex and as well as irritating.

  Any suggestions?
  Why his messedup?

  Seems that the lens cannot read this miniDVD s. Maybe cannot calibrate the lens of the drive and the miniDVD is so illegible.
  Try the sascha. Maybe you are a lucky man, and it works.
  If this is not the case, try to remove the drive physically from the laptop. Restart the laptop without the drive. The BIOS and Windows shouldn't t recognizes the drive.
  Then stops again, put the drive in the notebook and the startup of the device.
  The laptop should recognize the drive and must indicate the firmware again.

  I don't know if this will help but it s attemptable m

• Satellite A200 - Mat * randomly a UJ-850 s does not read certain DVD or CD

  Hello

  I have problems with my dvd player Mat * a UJ - 850 s (firmware 1.40)

  Randomly, he's not reading certain dvd or cd.

  I called Toshiba support and they asked me to update the firmware.

  I explained that there are 3 updates of firmware for a player of TSS (NEC) DVD from Toshiba Web site but * NOTHING * for MAST * A

  They asked me to install the Toshiba disc reboot before sending to repair. Today I had time to fix it, but it does not read the startup disk!

  So I ask for Toshiba to publish an update of firmware for Mat * a UJ - 850 s

  What you mean under some CD or DVD?

  It is well known that something like this can happen. Because of this if you write here on self made CD/DVD, use empty brackets just high quality.

• Tecra M2 - DVD/CD drive does not read

  I have a Tecra M2 with the DVD Rom/CD burner.

  When a disc is inserted, it runs but does not read - light stays on. After a few eject and reinsert the cycles he usually manages to play the disc. Long the standing problem which affects different DVD and CD discs. Have used a disc cleaner to clean lens.

  Does anyone know if this is likely a faulty hardware or a driver problem?

  Thank you

  Search on the Toshiba site.
  For the Tecra M2 is updated firmware for some ODD available s. To check if you have such a unit.

  In addition, I would like to make a BIOS update. This you can also find on the Web from Toshiba site
