• Portege R500 - CD/DVD drive no longer works

  Does anyone found a resolution to this?

  Like David, my DVD Multidrive on my R500 abruptly arrested recently - I can open/close the player, but he does not appear in Windows Explorer as a disk is valid. Do not think that I have nothing installed on the machine.

  Interestingly, I never really use the DVD player. Indeed, because of all the * heat * questions, I used to "Power Off" of the device, via the DVD icon in the system tray (i.e. option enabled me to Power on / off the unit). So while the power was OFF, it's cold the machine, and so the fan was rarely on.

  Now that my computer no longer recognizes the drive, this icon it simply shows that disabled, no possibility to the power on/off switch, and this noisy fan is almost always on. In addition, because it seems that the machine tries to recognize the drive subject time at startup, all re-start, reboot the machine now takes a few minutes to start...

  For the optical drive firmware update help? Or is there some other fix?

  Hello

  > but my Portege R500 CD/DVD drive has stopped working the next day, I had attached an external CD - RW drive for me to burn discs. Maybe it did disable my built-in drive?
  This could be the key;
  Try to access the Device Manager and remove the CD/DVD player listed and all USB host controllers and USB root hub.

  Again, restart the laptop.
  After new check restart if the CD/DVD drive has been recognized again.

• DVD drive no longer works Code 10 failure initialization

  My computer is less than two years.  It came with Vista.

• My CD/DVD drive no longer works after installing an update for Roxio Burn, (it was working perfectly until after the update).

  Hi, my CD/DVD drive has stopped working after I installed an update for Roxio Burn. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, updating all windows and my device driver programs, but I just comes up with one, "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) ', warning. The DVD/CD player that I use is called TSST corp DVD +-RW TS - H653G

  Hello

  Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

  Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of them.
  Selves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this problem was caused by
  These however is a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.

• The Satellite A series CD/DVD drive no longer works

  I bought my computer Toshiba Satellite A of the series with Windows Vista installed. I removed Vista and installed windows XP on the computer.
  Now, the dvd player does not work properly. When burning the DVD it burns only 6 percent and then gives the following message is displayed: "unspecified error".

  I searched the internet for a solution, but the given solution does not work because the upper and lower filters must not be located in the file regedt32.exe.
  Is there anyone who can tell me what to do and how this problem can be solved?

  Regarding, Jens Oolders

  Hello

  I found the same information as the upper and lower values filter would have a bad influence on the use of CD/DVD drive.
  Many people have reported an improvement in performance after deleting the upper and lower filter of this registry key values;
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  To start the registration type please; RUN REGEDIT in the window.

  After this procedure, you must restart the laptop again.

  May I ask what burning program you use?
  I would recommend Nero. It supports several different additional functions such as 'Test Drive' or ' control the speed in the car.
  It all works to get performance better combustion.

  Perhaps, you use switch to Nero and test different DVD from different vendors!

• DVD drive no longer works on the Satellite X 200

  Hello

  Although my laptop X 200-191 is just 3 weeks, this afternoon the DVD player suddenly stopped working. When I insert a dvd, the drive makes sounds like it will play the DVD, then stops and nothing more happens. When I click on the DVD drive in 'my computer' section, the Player opens and asks you a DVD... It will not play music cd's.

  I just installed a new (HD) driver for the DVD drive on the toshiba site, which should be compatible. I also tried to reinstall the previous driver, but the problem persists. I can't use the CD recovery either, for the reader DVD does not have to start the recovery cd...

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance,

• DVD drive no longer works after the installation of PowerISO

  I recently installed PowerISO and he took my physical DVD drive so I can't use it. The drive does not appear in Windows Explorer. The drive appears in the parameters of the material, but with the note that the driver has been disabled, and another driver provides functionality. There are questions on the net on this WRT to PowerISO (wish I had seen these before that I loaded it) but no real and tangible solutions. I tried to uninstall the device, reload the drivers and even bought a new DVD player and installed it but it happens with the same question. None of em fixed work. I did a complete refresh of BIOS and CMOS, nothing helps. Readers do not appear in the BIOS settings but show (with numbers) to the setting of the material. I also removed PowerISO, which did nothing. Then I re-installed and changed the setting Virtual Drive 'None' in thinking that this was taking on my physical drives. Nothing. So I still once uninstalled.

  In addition, if the problem persists, can you check the following registry key? :

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  To the registry for this key, in the right window, in the world is here, under 'Name', a LowerFilters and UpperFilters value?

  If so, for UpperFilters and LowerFilters, value which is listed under "data"?

  There is most likely a bad entry in one of these values that would have made the installation or uninstallation of software.

• CD/DVD drive has stopped working and now not recognized in 'My Computer'

  I have a HP Pavilion computer to office model a6109n, product number GG038AA, S/N CNH7250K0M. I've been running Windows 7 for 2 years. My CD player recently stopped working. I can't attribute this failure to any specific event that would have led to it.  When a CD is inserted, the green light comes on for about 6 seconds then turns off. The CD player is not long represented on the 'My Computer' to readers list. The CD drive appears in Device Manager. I tried to roload the driver for CD drive, Windows gave a message stating that the best driver is already installed. I have no error message and ran three programs different viruses with no problems. I've also updated Windows available current configuration that has not solved the problem. Thinking it was a hardware problem, I checked the CD drive cable connections and that did not help.  I replaced the CD drive with a new drive for HP and had the same symptoms. I returned the new CD player and he traded for an external CD drive and had the same symptoms in all USB ports. I tried every USB port with a flash player and the flash player saved on my computer in all USB ports. If my CD drive is being recognized by the Device Manager but not in my computer. It's okay if it's an internal or external drive. Everything else on the computer works fine. More troubleshooting ideas?  Thank you.

  Hello

  First, try the automated Microsoft fixit at the link below.

  sfc/scannow                (Note that there is a space between sfc and /)

  Let the entire process, then the output type and press ENTER.

  Then, click on the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.

• wireless broadband adapter repeatedly no longer works and disappears

  I have a pavillion tx1120us notebook with a wireless broadband adapter which had a new drive installed. Vista Home Premium 32 bit software was to be resumed from the HP drive. The Vista has been updated to SP2. The wireless adapter worked until the laptop is put to sleep or shutdown. Then the wireless driver and the HP wireless assistant seem to disappear. The driver is in the list of programs (uninstall) in the Control Panel, but registration is not in the Device Manager list. The adapter seems to work again intermittently when reinstall updated the OS if a does not work when the driver card and the HP wireless assistant are... Ethernet works fine and is so the rest of the BONE pieces and also the HP applications except those mentioned above.

I tried to write data and a normal cd through Windows Media player, Nero essentials 9 (which has been pre loaded on the pc) and via a call from Burnaware free burning software. Who never I use goes through the procedure of Brown, checks and finalizes the disc and ejects it saying burn was successful, but when I relload the disc, it shows as empty.

• After BIOS update DVD drive no longer works

  I make a test with the new bios on my Satellite A80-131.

  I install the new bios 2.60 more old bios (2.40) and my MATHISITA DVD does not read or write DVDs more!

  I reinstall Windows XP Home with the new bios and the my DVD-MATHISITA is not read or write DVDs more!

  I reinstall old bios (2.40) with winphlash (phoenix bios) and my DVD-MATHISITA read or burn DVDs new!

  Conclusion: If you have any problem with DVD-ROM to reinstall your old bios.

  Hello

  Well, it of strange but thanks for the information. It could be very useful for other users.
  By the way; on the Toshiba driver page, you will find the update of the firmware.
  Maybe after the upgrade of the BIOS you should make the reader to update firmware.
  But as far as I know that you can not do one reveres firmware. After the new installation of the firmware, you will not be able to install an older version.

  So in my opinion you shouldn't do any upgrade now. If you drive works so don t change anything ;)
