DVD player does not recognize some media on Satellite A30-514

I own a laptop Satellite A30-514 with Microsoft xp OS. For some time, some DVD (no games) will not play of the drive. some other not. It is not a problem of region - they are all region 2. Windows does not read the disc when inserted and does not record a disc in the drive when I show 'my computer '. CD is the game normally. This could be a (internal) driver problem or my CD DVD combo is all just too old now?

Thank you, Mary.

Hello

To give you a precise answer, it will be interesting to know what DVD is not readable. Meaning of the word "media" is in general and not helpful to understand the problem.

Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, and it is possible that the WEIRD feature is not good more. You can try to clean the lens.

    -Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

  • S5-1060 casing dvd player does not recognize the Bluray disks after you restore windows 7

    I have a s5-1060 casing with a HP DH12E3LH bluray player, recently the computer was so I took out the restore disks and just do a fresh install of windows 7, it works fine now, BUT the only thing I can't understand is why my bluray in unity player not to see, recognize or play blurays now.

    The Device Manager shows the best drivers are already installed (21/06/2006 microsoft 6.1.7601.17514 driver), and he will play CD, DVD, just does not recognize a bluray disc.  I might say, we watched top of 25-30 movies on it so I 'hope' is not burned or something altogether.

    It indicates that the device is working properly in Device Manager he calls it a cdrom drive (not sure if it matters), but with a bluray in the drive, it shows under properties / status / no media in the drive.

    I'm not really sure where to start on this, drivers seem strange to be so old, is it a firmware I can update if so where can I get that info, I went to the hp site let it detect the computer saw the driver updated but nothing which was directly related to the cdrom drive.

    Thanks for any help on this just stumped at this point, as it was working before the full restoration to the computer using the recovery disks, then there must be something simple.

    Hello FTLOSM,.

    I understand that after making your computer your Blu - ray discs won't play in Windows 7. I'm you provide a document from HP support: solve the DVD and Blu-ray movie problems (Windows 7) that will guide you through the troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem. I would focus on the topic impossible to watch movies in Blu-ray 3D. I am also you provide the link to the Drivers of HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1060 desktop PC page.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • 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.

  • DVD player does not recognize certain DVD movie purchased.

    My dvd player is no longer recognising some DVD movie bought she used to play without a problem. The difficulty seems to be related to the protection of copy on the DVD. Cheaper DVDs with the content of the 'public domain' are playable, while recent successes are not. Yesterday I updated the DRM for WMP 11 and cost the problem go away, but this morning, after the last update of security Windows installation, I'm back where I started. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried a system restore to a point before you started having this problem?

    Thanks for the reply, Barb.

    I had this problem for the last month. I am always connected with administrator privileges. The computer is an old gateway 700XL running Win XP Pro SP3. The DVD drive is a LG HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GMA 4020 B. Not sure about a bios update for the computer, but checked and not found any updated firmware for the drive. I have download the K-Lite codec package.

    Discs of film that won't play or play with unwelcome program include discs that played without any problem and a brand-new movie that won't play at all. In addition to WMP 11, I also have Media Player Classic, which will play the older discs after several tries and a message 'failure to protect against copying'. It does not recognize the new drive at all. The new disc will play on our DVD TV player.

    After that I updated the DRM for WMP 11, all disks were playing without problem on my computer. Yesterday morning, I got Win XP update malware removal tool, and after that I installed it I was to place 1 - old records playing with a lot of difficulties and messages "has no protection against copying" and the new disk plays do not at all.

  • Satellite A100-773: CD/DVD player does not recognize the CD

    Hello friends,

    I have satellite A100-773.
    When I turned on it today it does not recognize any CD. He acknowledges, however, DVD and can also burn CDs with Nero.

    As soon as I put in a CD it says (in German) something like "access denied, unauthorized function.
    It's a mystery to me what happened. Until yesterday, it was perfect. Now the same CD (and I tried 20) wouldn' work anymore.

    I tried the recovery system to an earlier point in time, but it does not help. In the hardware Manager tells me that everything is going well.

    Do you have any idea what it can be?

    Thank you very much

    Ognian

    Hello

    In such cases, it s is not easy to say why it happens.
    Usually if the drive cannot read media either material works badly or the CD / DVD is not compatible and taken in charge.

    But we hope that the equipment is not damaged.
    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop.
    After that restart of the operating system should recognize the drive again and load the driver. Then you could try to test the drive again.

    I also found a very large Microsoft document on:
    How to troubleshoot problems that occur when you copy data on a CD - R or CD - RW optical disc in Windows XP
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/324129

    and this:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315350/

    The other possibility is to use the recovery CD to reinstall the OS.

  • New computer: DVD player does not recognize discs

    I have this computer (HP Pavilion) about 3 months ago. It already came with windows 8 when I got it, is not a recent issue of download. When I put a game disc in the DVD drive for installation, it is yet to report an error, simply, it does not recognize the disc. I tried with a DVD film as well, and it's the same thing. I never used the drive before today and was super disappointed that it didn't work. New: what's more relative than all works do not, is that the system does not recognize the potential error.

  • Satellite A30-404: DVD player does not read some DVD

    Hello

    I have a satellite A30-404, and recently, I installed a new firmware update for my TOSHIBA DVD - ROM SD-R6112. (page can be found [here | http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 518 & langua ge = 33 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 28 & selectedLanguage = 33 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 46804 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42])

    Since then, I can't play some DVD I write, for the most part, the 4 GB DVD +, for example, I can perfectly read a 1, 3 GB DVD with 3 multisessions.

    However, other computers can read the DVD I can't.

    Help would be appreciated.

    Maybe the new firmware does contain all of the information on the DVD.
    Do you know what firmware is or what information it contains?

    The firmware of the drive contains simple information about the support that can be used, what burning/reading speed is supported, which average manufacturer is compatible, etc.

    Maybe the new firmware contains other information such as and therefore CD/DVD cannot be played correctly.
    I think in this case, you need to test different CDs/DVDs and try to burn at a different rate.
