Disk drive cannot read the disc. The product is s5120f Pavilion Slimline. Windows 7 operating system

I did the diagnostic tests, and the drive seems to work fine. I think I just need to clean the lens, as I've never cleaned. I need to know what kind of cleaning kit or drive to buy. I bought a cheap vacuum disc at Wal-Mart (Memorex) but it does not work in the PC disc drive - it has no brushes. A Utube video uses a 2-brush Phillips drive, but I want to confirm before buying another. Perhaps that the system 2-brush of cd/dvd lens cleaner SVC2330/27 Phillips? The recommendation is appreciated.

Hello alhirt,

I found a. He said that it is only a solution for lenses DVD-Bluray, but I heard that it is also a good solution for the computer lenses.

If you already have one, good luck.

Philips-SVC2340/10

One year fabric warranty.

I am pleased that help you

    Thank you!

    Hello

    It is very rare for the methods in the 1st answer above does not fix a Code 19.

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

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

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
    other subkeys in these keys. Be sure 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

  • After that I opened my home page when I try to go to another page it opens twice. I use the last FF on an older windows xp operating system.

    my computer is running slow and after that I click on the search button to go to another site, it opens twice and takes a long time for one of the two pages to load. After that I actually enter a site when I click on a tab it charges once and it seems a little slow, however. I use the latest version of Firefox on a pc with windows xp as the operating system. Also, I installed IE, but I didn't do it in my default browser. I also use AVG security software if it has something to do with the fix. Any help is GREATLY appreciated

    Can you try a different mouse in case there is a problem with the mouse you are currently using?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    Hello

    It of very unusual. Try this: go to the properties of the drive DVD ram (right-click).
    Somewhere in the properties is a checkbox to enable digital CD PLAYBACK. Make sure this box is checked.

    In Autoplay make you a corresponding task is associated with music CD and not action.
    Load a music CD and then right-click on your CD-ROM drive. There should be a PLAY option.

    If the DVD player not working after this change, so I think that it s something wrong with the hardware.
    In my opinion, you should contact the service partner.

    Good luck

    Good bye

  • Windows xp activation time has expired and I cannot read the product key and can not connect to my computer? What should I do

    A little late to ask now?

    You should still be able to log in Mode safe to backup your data.

    You should not use your manufacturer to reformat/reinstall your system recovery system - if you do not have the disk and the recovery partition is not always work, then contact the manufacturer and see if you can order a set of disks on their part.

    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.

  • The error that says it cannot read the disc.

    I installed a CD using Windows Media Player AutoPlay as my default for audio CD the 1st song plays, but when I select the next song, I get a red X icon and an error saying the disc cannot be read and it climbs to the 3rd song. So, if I select another song, I get several red X icons on several songs. It happens with all prerecorded CDs that I install. The disks are clean and new and everything worked fine before, but I had my Windows Vista Home Premium reloaded recently. I don't remember if the player has worked properly for reloading. Why can it read well enough to still play some songs if it cannot read the disc. I'm getting confused. Can someone help me sort through this and help me make it work? I'm not too computer, so be gentle. Thank you... Dave

  • Error copying file or folder: cannot read the source file or disk.

    My problem occurs when you try to copy on the same computer I am on (or to a remote drive).  I get one of these messages in the dialog "error copying file or folder.

    box:

    Impossible to copy 'Filename': data error (cyclic redundancy check).
    Impossible to copy 'Filename': cannot read the source file or disk.

    Hey Norton victim,

    (a) what is your operating system?
    (b) what program file you are not able to copy?

    As the files are copied, Windows verifies that the data that has been copied are the same as the source files. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error occurs when the copied data does not match the original.
     
    This could be down to a mistake of the DVD, the disc goes wrong and has failed to 'read' the file properly or the file was placed on a bad sector on your hard drive. (Could be just down to a scratch or some marks on the dvd, maybe clean it if necessary and try again).
     
    I would run a check disk (CHKDSK) against the drive to rule that, although lacking - you have another dvd player to try the disc again? If so, try the dvd in another drive, or even a completely different machine to try to pin-point the problem.
     
    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     
    Chkdsk /r
     
    Note: If bad sectors are detected when running check disk utility and attempt recovery of bad sectors is verified during the verification of the drive for errors, data in the bad sector can be lost as they tried to recover bad sectors.
