CD ROM will read/burn CD but not DVD

• CD/DVD Rom will play audio CD but not DVD

  Hello

  I am at a loss :( The CD/DVD-rom (ID: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50L) in my refuses to Asus computer (Vista 64 Home Premium) laptop to play DVDs now but will read audio CDs, I put in the drive without problem. When I put a DVD in the drive, it will make clicking sounds and then turn and then turn down and then do nothing at all. I have scoured the internet looking for a solution to this problem and have done everything I could find a solution (drivers are up to date, checked registry and was fine, checked reading auto and put all ask me every time, ran auto fix - it and he just says cannot read the media type, uninstalled and reinstalled the drive) etc.).

  The drive is displayed in Explorer, but when I double click top with a DVD, nothing happens. I even downloaded the new codecs and I still have this problem. The problem started shortly after I have updated to SP2, and I've even uninstalled SP2 and nothing. I tried system restore and still no dice. I do not say that this problem has nothing to do with the installation of SP2 or anything, but the drive has worked perfectly well before that date. I initially thought that maybe the drive went wrong and think always that after trying all the solutions that I found, but a bad combo player would still be able to play audio CDs without problem?

  Any help on this would be much appreciated...

  Thank you

  Hello

  Update the BIOS can not help if the drive had worked for a good period of time however it
  is definitely worth it.

  You have disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read).
  Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

  You did a large part of this however please start at the top and work downwards as it is often the total process
  to solve the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  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 loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

• Equium M50 can burn CD but not DVD - power calibration error

  Hello

  Well, basically, that's my problem. The other day I tried to burn a dvd but kept getting the "power calibration error" tried different DVD and burning software, but still the same problem, although I can burn DVDs perfectly.

  Any ideas anyone?
  Thank you.

  Hi dude

  Unfortunately, this doesn't sound good.
  Power calibration error is known to me and it seems that there is no other way to replace the CD/DVD drive with the new.

  According to the error message is unable to calibrate s lens by car in the right position and that's why the drive can't handle certain mediums.

  See your owner's manual for compatible CD/DVD players.
  If you want you can also control the caught player in charge of a partner of service authorized in your country.

  Good luck

• T61 with MultiDrive will start from CD, but not DVD

  Hello.

  I have a little problem - I am installing Windows7 on my T61 (currently it is running Ubuntu) and I can't boot from the installation DVD.

  I changed the boot order and it will boot very happily on a CD - I tried to use the utility to update firmware of drive that comes as an ISO CD - motorcycle boots very happily and says my firmwqare to date.

  No chance with a (real) WIn7 install (32-bit) DVD, but - it debits for a while, then finally gave up on the MultiDrive and ends up booting from the HARD drive.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you

  Youra.

  Looks like a damaged disk, or a bad drive. Try the drive in another computer and if possible, try replacing it with another drive on this computer.

  If she starts on a CDrom, it starts from a DVDrom, as long as the drive and the drive are good.

• my cd-rom reads some discs but not others like command and conquer. the first decade. IM using windows xp serv pack 3__

  my cd rom usually read some disks but others will read

  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

• Blu Ray player can not read the DVD. It can read CDs and Blu Ray discs, but not DVD.

  Recently, I lost my hard drive.  Dell sent me a new disk with the drivers that came with the computer.

  I just noticed that my Blu Ray player is no longer playing DVDs.  I don't know if the hard drive crash has nothing to do with it, or if it's a coincidence.

  Windows says I have the latest driver.

  The computer is a Dell XPS 8300.   Is the Blu Ray player: bd - re bh30n hl-dt-st.

  The player has not served almost at all.   I read that there are the eyes for the Blu Ray vs DVD, then maybe the DVD part has failed.

  I'm always suspect that miss me a piece of software or a changed value.

  Any ideas?

  For all of you, the poor souls who shared my problem on the internet, I got beyond that.   Even though all said I had the latest driver, I found someone who said that they had downloaded a newer driver form the LG site and it fixed the problem.   Well, BH30N wasn't a model # on the LG site, but I found here: http://www.firmwarehq.com/download_1703-file_BH30N-A103.zip.html Norton said it was OK, I clicked on the EXE file, he said that he had me upgrade from A101 to A103 and suggested that I reload.   Once I did, my Blu Ray player will read the DVD fine.

• My CD/DVD drive reads CD but not DVD

  Hi all

  I have a TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633M DVD player in my laptop and after about 6 months of use, the drive stopped reading/writing DVD. It still reads CDs fine and sometimes will read a DVD completely (without provocation and without warning...!) but is very skittish and stops randomly just to play a DVD. Often, the player will eject and give an error message tells me to insert a disc. I don't know what to do.

  I am running Windows Vista 32-bit. I tried to run the Microsoft Fixit application, which recognizes that the drive is unable to read DVD but offers nothing more useful than and doesn't solve anything (despite its name...). I've read through a number of different forums and have found a range of advice: replace the disk, uninstall and reinstall the drivers or editing the registry. What should I do to solve this problem? Naturally, I would prefer not to have to replace the drive itself, but if it's the only way...

  Thanks in advance!

  Mangi

  The registry thing only works if the drive is completely AWOL from the system so that it does not appear as a drive in "My Computer"... not your problem. The DVD and CD using different lasers and it is not uncommon to go wrong and the other not. You can check the operation of the DVD trying to boot from a bootable DVD. If you can not drive is bad and needs to be replaced. If it works sometimes and not others it could just need a good cleaning with a DVD lens cleaner.

• Satellite L755 - 16 c - ODD can read CD but not DVD more

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L755 - 16 c. The DVD that I ran on it before (installation of games, software, movies, etc.) is no longer detected by the DVD player. CD works for some reason any.

  Whenever I insert a DVD disc in the drive, the light flashes and I feel some movement and hear noises that occurs generally when a disc is entered and be read. However the content of the DVD player does not show. If I click open my computer's DVD player, the DVD is ejected and the computer asks me to enter a disc, as if there was no disc not inserted.

  I downloaded the latest BIOS files on their site, but nothing has changed.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. First try to clean the lens. Objective is maybe dirty.
  Otherwise, it can be mechanical problem. Is that the position of the lens is different for the reading of the CD and DVD. There may be a problem with the calibration of the lens.

  Try to clean it first and post comments.
