DVD player CD Dell Inspiron 1521

I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 and have had problems with the CD/DVd driver. I went through these threads and tried all the suggestions, but in vain. He said this morning when I restarted driver installed successfully. So I played a dvd and a cd that was very well (in the past even the driver icon is gone). Now, I tried again and windows media player does not recognize the discs. I tried the regedit option and am now at a loss. I tried to go through dell where he asked me to go to start - all the programs-set program access... but it's not all access program icon to click on... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Door drive DVD/CD of Dell Inspiron 530 will not be closed

    I was in the middle of installation 3 disks of a game, when on the open disc 3, the door kept popping back.  Thought it was a bad drive maybe, so I tried another disc, same problem.  haven't tried any disc, same problem.  I restarted, in the remake, he closed the door, but then reopened it upward once in operation.  It will not be closed the door.  I have to take out them and put it back in or is it turned and I need a new?  It came OEM with the machine, says he works correctly in Device Manager.  in properties, he says that's DVD + RW DH 16 - W15 aPBDS.  If I need a new, where I can go to the web to find what I need?

    Thank you.

    Hey well, good news! Before I decided to replace it, I thought that 'let me play with him' and open the computer and tried to get out.  Well, I got all the cancelled screws and plugs disconnected, but I couldn't drag him completely out of the slot, I tried several times without success.  He would slide approximately 1/2 in. and then stop.  So I gave up, he slipped into place, screwed it back in, plugged everything back in and voila, it works!  I don't know what was going on.  There was a strip of clear band they put on the machines when they send their, a thin strip through the logo Dell Isnpiron on top of the drive with a shot to the back corner, maybe the edge of the door that was contagious?  I pulled it off.  No matter what.  It works, thank the Lord.  But out of curiosity, how one removes this player?  I couldn't go out for the life of me.

  • Windows VISTA Home Prem on DELL Inspiron 1521 will not start

    Read the message below. It has been copied from another thread and the poster has been informed to start a new thread with his question. What is ironic, is that I have exactly the same problem on my Dell.

    After downloading some updates to Vista my Dell desktop computer restarted and tried to load step 3 updates, it moves very quickly from 0% to 100% and then restarts, only to go back into the same loop of trying to set up step 3 and restart.

    I tried the following, starting in safe mode, same results updates are trying to configure.

    Auto repair, I am told by a message, it cannot be repaired.

    System Restore, I have only 2 system shown to restore points and they are at the time of the upgrade, if I try these points to restore I get an error message.

    I tried to reboot from the original installation provided CD but all I get is 'windows is copying files', then a black screen.

    I tried the boot iso but neosoft option again to the message windows is to copy the files, and then the black screen.

    I'm in thr stage where I can not think of anything else other that to go to a data recovery specialist, to recover the files most important (have over 200 GB of various things on the hard disk) and then reset to factory settings and load data and try and find the sources of all the programs that I had. It looks like an enormous task and it is the main computer for my business. If a kind soul has suggestions as to how I can get this situation somehow, I would be eternally grateful.

    Thanks in advance

    I'm fairly warned to get to a point to get my data before a complete reconstruction, however, I give that easy. Anyone else having this problem. I'd really like to find a way to solve.

  • Failure of device CD/DVD in a DELL inspiron 530 with VISTA

    The Vista operating system does not recognize the DVD/CD drive.
    I can't seem to get the operating system to recognize the drive.

    The drive is identified as:

    PBDS DVD +-RW DH-16W1S ATA Device

    The error:

    This device cannot start. (Code 10)

    Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. (when I do this the error is that the driver could not be loaded)

    When you attempt to load a new driver I get this message:

    Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up-to-date

    Has anyone seen this type of problem before?
    Any suggestions on what to get?

  • DVD player stopped working

    My DVD on my Dell Inspiron 1545 drive stopped working about 9 months ago.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the program twice and nothing ever changes. I also did test problems, and nothing shows. What can I do about it? Help, please!

    If you are referring to the DVD player... it can have a
    material issue and needs to be repaired or replaced.

    If it's just a software issue... the free VLC Media software
    Player may be worth a try... it will play anything.

  • Dell Inspiron 1750, Windows 7: HL-DT-ST DVD +-RW GT10N not working after critical updates from MS

    I'm having a problem with my Player DVD - HL - DT - ST DVD +-RW GT10N.  I have a Dell Inspiron 1750, Windows 7.

    It was working fine, then after 3 critical updates from MS, it stopped reading/writing on the DVD player.  The only way I can access the DVD (read or write) is to restart.  A subsequent loading of different or even the same DVD finished with the issue of not being able to recognize the DVD.

    When I click on the properties of the DVD drive in Device Manager, it clocks.  However, after a reboot, the properties has worked well and said that the driver does not work properly.

    I got to the period before 1st update was installed and the DVD player worked as before.  However, Ms. downloaded the same (I assume) updated critical shortly after.  Low and behold, the DVD player does not work yet.

    The MS CD/DVD patch could not fix.

    I also tried UpperFilters/LowerFilters regedit deletions, but it is impossible to find these entries (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982116 > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}).  Thank you Osprey4 for your help continues.
