• 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?

• T61 DVD drive cannot read some discs

  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.

  Post a WTB (want to buy) announce here and someone will come to your rescue:

• Satellite A40: drive has stopped reading the CD & DVD discs

  Does anyone know why my CD/DVD combo drive has stopped reading discs (CD and DVD). The light blinks for a while then stays on but nohting happen after that. No prompt to ask to see WMP or real player etc. Nothing at all.

  Hi André,.

  Normally, this occurs if the optical drive cannot read the titles of the index on the CD. It does this so that the built-in firmware allows to identify the disc type and recalibrate the lens as a result.

  It might, however, be something simple as having the 'autoplay' feature to take no measure for that when a disc is inserted in the optical drive will be re - calibrate the lens and then not start any software to actually read the disc.

  Try to insert a disc and then open 'My computer' and check if the optical drive is displayed. If this is the case, then try the "Explorer" (right-click on the icon). If you receive an error indicating that the disk is not accessible or the disc cannot be read, then it is likley that you have a faulty drive.

  Kind regards

• My E drive stopped reading CD/DVD. I have a desktop compaq with Vista Home Premium w / all service packs downloaded. My E drive doesn't recognize any disc in the drive.

  Hello

  Check with the support of Compaq, their online documentation and drivers and their forums for
  known issues.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART 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 coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

• Solutions to the problem of CD/DVD drive cannot read DVD discs

  This article will tell you 3 ways to solve the problem of the CD/DVD drive do not read the DVD disc. Please the process step by step.

  Solution1. Clean the DVD disc

  If your Player cannot detect the DVD disc, the first thing you need to do is to clean the DVD disc. Use a soft and dry cloth (not painted) to wipe the disc from the center of the disc to the edge. Please take care to not to use a paper to clean the disc with a circular motion, it will scratch the disc.

  After cleaning, inert the DVD on the drive to see if it works, if the reader can't read the disc, use a cloth of cotton wet with water or alcohol to clean the disc. After the disc dry, inert re the disc on the drive. If the reader can read, the operation is complete. If this isn't the case, please turn to the option2.

  Option2. Check the disc to see if it has been damaged

  Draw the DVD from the drive and check if there are some scratches or small cracks on the disc. If the disc is damaged, please try another DVD disc to see if the drive can read. If the drive cannot recognize the new disk, there could be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. Please turn to solution 3.

  Solution3. Clean or repair the CD/DVD drive

  When a CD/DVD drive has been used for a long time, its ability to play disc will only get worse. Then, the reader can not read some discs, or blocking your computer in the middle of the reading disc. This is usually due to the aging of certain parts of the disc, CD/DVD player dirty.

  Open the drive to check if the DVD reader accumulates dust and dirt, if so, the cold air from the hair dryer allows you to clean the inside of the DVD drive. Be sure to not blow on the optical sensor orally, or clean it with a cloth of cotton with water or alcohol. After cleaning, insert a DVD disc on the drive to see if it works. If still no, you need to call the s command customer service or take the reader to a computer repair shop.

• My hard drive is not even read the disc (Dragon Age: Origins)

  Today I bought a new video game for PC (Dragon Age: Origins).
  After inserting the disc, I thought I could hear the drive reading the disc, but it kept stopping.

  This ended up in my computer not give me an error message saying that there is problem... it's almost as if he thinks that I have never inserted the disc.

  So I tried to run another game disc, and he managed to read the disc.

  Please help :(

  the required for the game is the following:

  OS: Windows XP (SP3) or Windows nice (SP1) or Windows 7
  Processor: Processor Intel Core 2 SINGLE 1.6 GHz or equivalent AMD Athlon 64 2/0 GHz processor or equivalent
  RAM: 1 GB (1.5 GB Vista and Windows 7)
  Disc drive: DVD ROM required
  Hard drive: 20 GB of disk space

  and I guess that video and sound are not the problem here.

  I'm not a 'computer' wiz or anything either, but after reading the label of my system, it seems that the requirements very well.
  they are here:

  OS: Windows Vista 64 - bit family Premium SP1
  Processor: Intel Core 2 Q6600 Quad-Core
  RAM: 4 GB DDR2
  Disk drive: Super multiformat DVD + RW DL with Labelflash
  HDD: 750 GB

  ... As you can see, taking me the time to post all this place really shows how frustrated I am... so please Helo me ASAP :(

  It is possible that you have a bad DVD drive.  Try it in another computer (a friend or relative) and if it didn't work for them either, you may have to contact the company for a replacement drive.  If it works on their computer and not yours, you may need an update of the firmware of your DVD player to make it compatible with the disc.  It is a rare event, but can happen.  You will need to go to the website where you made your computer and download the update of the firmware if available.
