DVD player does not read blu - ray


Hello

As far as I know, you would need diagnostic equipment to test the output of the laser.  Is your laptop still under warranty?  If this is the case, you can send it to HP for repair by contacting them here.

If it is out of warranty, I found a replacement on HP Partsurfer drive, but it is expensive in my opinion.  Here is the link.

HP Partsurfer

The procedure to replace the drive is pretty easy to accomplish.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

    Looks like the drive will need to be replaced. Reason to be after you restored and still the same problem of reading is then laser most likely has it reache use life. Reader of OD aren't so expensive that it just make sure yours is Sata connections and must match any player you just have to remove your plate and put it on the new drive and that will resemble nothing has changed.

  • Satellite A100-447 - DVD player does not read some discs

    Hello

    I have a 4 month old Satellite 100-447 (PSAAN), came preloaded with Vista Home Premium and a carpet * CD/DVD super-multi UJ-850 s player.

    The DVD player does not work properly. It will recognize a few blank, but never DVD-R DVD and won't recognise any DVD at all serious. He is very good with CD and DVD movie discs. It's just recordable DVD where there is a problem.

    Also when you try to write to a DVD, when he chooses to recognize a TI-error in half way through.

    What can I do?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    You can do the follwowing:

    Go to this website http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp,

    Download the latest update of the firmware for this drive, install it, and then try again.

    Sometimes, the manufacturer must update their readers for the newer recordable media and so I think that it is possible that your drive is simply not up to date.

    ================================================

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    ------------

    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.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hello

    Seems that certain this kind of DVD is not fully compatible with this CD/DVD player
    Sorry, but these issues are not uncommon that you will always encounter discs which are not totally compatible and that the readers of the laser lens is unable to handle this drive

    But just a question; These films are created for the European region?
    I mean there are different regions DVD

    As far as I know the films for European needs region 2
    The United States have need of region 1 and South American setting & Middle need area 4

    So if you want to watch DVD designed for US then you need to change the region to 1 settings.

    But note; You can change the region settings only 4 times then this parameters could be blocked, it is not possible to change it again

    Well, what can I say? For me, this looks like a disk failure.

He will also read a blank DVD when you put it in the drive, but once the information/data are on the disc, it won t detect the drive.

    I'm not really good with computer so any help would be grateful. The computer used for any play he stopped just do a few months back.

    Many thanks, Phil

    Hello Phil

    It is not easy to find explanations for these issues. What you can try is to create own data CD and check if the drive can read. I recommend buying a blank DVD-R from TDK. Over the past 7 years I never had no problem read/write TDK media.

    Media that cannot be read properly? Is - this DVD-R, DVD - RW, DVD + R or a DVD + RW?
    Please give us more information.
