• Satellite L500-126-CD/DVD drive does not open very well unrolled

  Hello

  I just got my second Satellite L500-126.
  I traded my first for a new because the ESCAPE key got stuck sometimes and made a grinding sound.

  Now, with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very well unrolled and 2 bars of silver metal bit come out with the car when I open it.
  Is this normal?

  Also, when I close the dvd player, I hear a little noise "ping!"
  Like a spring, or something. Is that also normal?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I'm not quite sure what you mean by 2 small bars of silver, but the reader of my laptop s contains two metals (runners, railway).
  This is normal and these pieces are important to ensure that the drive can eject properly and could remain in a good position.
  Still, you will hear a short click Open and close the drive.

  So I guess it's ok.

• DVD/CD-RW drive does not-Tecra A4

  Hi, I have a problem with my Tecra A4.
  My DVD CD - RW drive does not work properly (power is there, but it does not appear on the system), I have temporary installed a drive of DVD - RW from my HP laptop which works very well.
  I tried to run my restore disk (never used), but nothing happens (press and hold C to start). This will only work with the good drive installed or I do something wrong?

  p.s. I bought this second hand, but it's new. He had a damaged screen I have replaced

  If the old drive will not read media if it s damage.
  You know that not every disc is compatible with the device because of the csel/slave/master settings.

  You said that the button C doesn't allow you to boot from the disc.
  In this case, I would recommend to get into the BIOS, and there you can change the boot order.
  However, this trick is everything works only if the new drive is compatible and supported

• Satellite Pro A120: DVD/CD-RW drive does not work

  Hello: the dvd/CD-RW drive does not work. apparently it has been disabled somehow! Any ideas on how I can turn it back on?

  Have you tried the Device Manager and it says it works normally!

  Any ideas please?

  Thanks :)

  > apparently it has been disabled somehow
  I put t think that the disc has been disabled!

  How someone or something should turn off the drive? You have disabled the drive? I don't think so!

  You said that the drive appears in Device Manager. So I guess that the drive is enabled and is recognized by the OS.
  You are getting error messages or what's wrong?

  Perhaps the reader can read or burn CDs or DVDs.
  This happens if the lens of the drive cannot calibrate properly and can not handle the inserted media.

  Maybe the replacement drive is required!

• CD drive does not open on the hard drive of the computer.

  Original title: on my hard drive DimensionE521 the CD-Rom drive does not open.  He starts to and then stops. The computer says it's OK? Help?

  I had this problem and another time after playing with him for days, all of a sudden it just opened.  There is nothing in the drive - I'm sure of.  Everyone has to experience this problem.

  Hello Nannytosix,

  If you look very close to the door of the CD player, you will probably see a small hole somewhere around him.

  What you need to do is unfold a paper clip and push it in the hole and it should open the CD drive manually.

  I encourage you to consult the manual to check this.

  Best regards

• My Cd drive does not open

  Original title: BD - rom drive

  My Cd drive does not open. I even sent it back to the factory to get the engine replaced and it used to always open. And if it opens, it read any disk. What should I do? Can I open the player through my laptop instead of hitting the button on the outside?

  Hello Jayde,

  You can look for a tiny hole on the draw draw in which insert a paper clip to manually eject the CD player draw. Follow these steps and check if that helps.

  Step 1: Open Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive icon and choose the option to eject it. If it is ejected from your CD-ROM drive tray, button on the hard drive is faulty and it is recommended to replace the disk.

  Step 2: Also boot in the BIOS and check if you can eject the CD by pressing eject CD player if the problem persists then drive is defective.

  Warning of the BIOS:

  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Step 3: I suggest to start in safe mode and check if you are facing a similar question:

• Satellite L350 - CD/DVD drive does not open

  I have a new laptop, less than a month, but his habit of CD/DVD tray open by pressing eject button. Eject-do a right-click on its icon does not open it no more.

  There is no disc inside, it is visible in the BIOS, no sign of a driver problem in Device Manager. I tried reinstalling the driver, but that didn't help.

  Any solution for this problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hi inecro,

  If the CD/DVD drive doesn t open more I think that you can do anything in this case.

  I can only confirm what writes Akuma. You need to replace the CD/DVD drive and you get a new from an authorized service provider. If your laptop is under warranty you can get a new one for free.

  I had the same problem a few months ago. EPA has replaced the CD/DVD drive in a few days and I come back my laptop. Very fast service and the technicians are friendly. :)

  Hello Arturomaduro,

  By "stack" I assume you mean that the CD/DVD is 'stuck' in the player and you cannot get the drive to open it? The most important thing right now is to get the DVD from the drive. You have two options.

  1 / restart your PC and press the eject button on the CD/DVD drive to see if the drive open and release the CD/DVD. Normally, this should do the trick.

  2 / if my first option does not release the disc caddy, you will need a large paperclip and bend straight. Take a look at the front of your DVD drive and you should see a small hole. This is usually placed near the eject button. Make sure that your PC is off and you have removed the plug from the socket. Now insert the straigtened paper clip into the hole and the 'push' the draw caddy should now begin to open (or open completely). If it opens only paritally, then gently pull the draw caddy until it opens completely and then remove the CD/DVD. After removing the CD/DVD push the caddy draw lots to close. Be sure to gently push to clear the draw caddy.

  Maybe it's just a unique and the player will operate normally afterwards. If she keeps refusing to eject a CD/DVD, there may be something wrong with the CD/DVD unit itself.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

• My E: drive does not open to receive a disc. It seems to be locked up? Any ideas?

  My E drive drawer does not open to receive a disc.

  If you have tried all of the usuals, i.e. press the CD button open or right click on the drive in "computer" then press eject, (finally some anyway) most CD/DVD players have a small hole on the Panel of the real player, sort of a manual ejection.

  Push something long and thin (maybe a paperclip) to the bottom of it, and it should open. Try to do with the PC turned off initially, but Ive done with the power on.

  Just go simple and not too heavy handed.
