• Optical drive fails to read most DVD

  Product: HP Pavilion dv4t-1500, Windows 7 64 bit OEM.

  A few weeks ago, my DVD drive stopped reading DVDs. I put a DVD and close the door and turns upward, then worms down, turns up, then down. And most of the time it never load the video content. Often, it is rather a dialog box asking if I want to burn a CD/DVD.

  I first thought that I had a defective CD/DVD drive. So, I bought one on eBay for $23 (taking care to get exactly the same drive). The same behavior persisted. So, I put the original disk in.

  I found an article online that said something about the upper filters, and I followed these instructions. Still no change.

  I then did a manual removal of the optical drive drivers by using Device Manager. After the restart and Windows loads, I tried again, and there was still no change.

  Then I did a system restore to the restore backup hard disk. Still no change.

  I'm at a loss to know what to do now. I can't do a clean install of an OEM installation. I have to buy a Windows 7 upgrade for $119 do a clean install. But before that I have to do a clean install of XP Pro, but I can't do it because I have not the SATA drivers are needed.

  Any ideas on how to get the Windows 7 system and its optical driver play together? Thank you!

  You are the very welcome.

  I can't update the firmware of any kind (HARD drive, optical drive) on the support page and the driver of your laptop.

  Enjoy your PC.

  I always found that they seem to go much more vivid when you make your own custom installation of a simple BONE and just add the necessary drivers and software you need.

• ODD on my Satellite C70D-A-11F will not read DVDs

  WEIRD on my t Satellite C70D-A-11F (05.2014) won read DVDs more. No matter that one I try this simply does not work.
  The latest driver is installed.

  Hello

  If the optical disk drive is installed properly maybe bed lens dirty. Try to clean it.

  Otherwise, if your ODD can read CD but not DVD it can also be a malfunction of the equipment. The reading lens cannot be calibrated properly and failed to find the right position to read DVD media.

  In this case, ODD must be exchanged.

  Try to clean the lens and see if the problem still occurs. If so, contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

• DVD read CD and DVD - R but unable to read DVD + R

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion dv4 and am running Windows 7.  I recently discovered that my optical drive (hp CDDVDW TS-L633N) is unable to read DVD + R.  The unusual detail is that it reads DVD-R, and CD without any problems.  Also, I can write a DVD + R.

  Because I just returned from Latin America, I thought that this problem was related to the locale.  Nope... the regional setting is correct.

  I uninstalled the driver and restarted the computer, but that didn't work.  I also downloaded Windows Fix it tool and failed there as well.

  Any other suggestions?

  Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm embarrassed to say that at the end of the day, there is a very simple solution that I forgot.  In other words, the lens just needs a good cleaning.

  Because it was reading DVD-R and CD format without any problem, I assumed the problem was related to a software problem.  After cleaning the lens with a Q-Tip and isopropyl alcohol, however, everything seems to be.  Thanks again for all the suggestions!

• My iMac does not read DVD

  Hello

CD works for most very well, but sometimes they go inside and the drive is not recognized. And also sometimes the DVD drive is not recognized in ¨informations on system"in the Apple menu.

  Thank you

  Did you use a cleaning CD in the optical drive?

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

  I was wondering if someone could forward that request to the person responsible slimdrive firwmares to Toshiba.

  There is an update of the firwmare in of the Qosmio E10 driver section but that's UJ - 831S (and it does not work on UJ-830 s) :/
  Thanks for reading.

  Hello

  AFAIK this unit has a DVD Super Multi drive and it must use media suite:
  CD-ROM (Read) CD - R(read/write) CD - RW(read/write) DVD-ROM (read)
  DVD-R(Read/Write) DVD - RW(read/write) DVD + DVD + R(read/write) RW(read/write) DVD - RAM(read/write)

  In addition, these speeds are available:
  Maximum speed CD-ROM(24x:read) CD-R(24x:write) CD-RW(10x:write) DVD-ROM(8x:read)
  DVD-R(8x:Write) DVD - RW(4x:write) DVD + DVD + R(8x:write) RW(4x:write) DVD - RAM(3x:write)

  Maybe this drive can t use the double layer? I think he uses a normal DVD

• P25-S5093 cannot read DVD + RW

  P25-S5093, ODD-DVD-SD-R6372 reader can't see DVD + RW, DVD - RW Drive reads and writes without problem in that there may be a business? OS - Windows XP Pro SP2.

  Hello Alex

  I have Satellite P20-303 and the DVD player is not able to read DVD + R/RW format. You have obviously portable US but I think the drive is the same.

  Please check s operating manuals and what formats are readable. As I already said that I think that your player can play just DVD R/RW.

  Good bye

• Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

  my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

  Hello

  I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
  In this case, you need additional codecs.
  This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
  Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

  Good luck

• Re: My driver TEAC DV-w28ECT used to read DVD and CD now it reads only DVDs

  My TEAC DV-w28ECT driver used to read DVDs and CDs, now, he reads only DVDs. What's happened and how can I solve this problem? I have Windows Vista

  Try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry.
  When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.

  (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
  2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
  (4) restart.

  If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

  This utility can remove the filters for you:

• UJDA750 will not read dvd - r

  Subject he says all new Tecra M4 and integrated carpet * a UJDA750 DVD/CDRW combo won't read DVD-R, in fact until I uninstalled the DLA & NTI software it's rather rude on the reading of a CD - RW!

  What is the point of a new DVD player that can not read the DVD-R commune!

  I want to emphasize that the media reads fine in 5 different readers other than that burned the dvd - r to the origin. I have tried 1 x, 4 x & 8 x media with the same disappointing results.

  Hello

  I don t know why it isn't possible, but have you checked all other CD for writing?
  If this problem occurs with any type of media, so it s best to contact a Toshiba Service partner and ask for verification of the disc.

  Read CD - RW discs, to a UDF reader software. Discs CD - RW are written in UDF 1.5 format. This UDF reader software can be downloaded from Adaptec "s web site: www.adaptec.com"

  This software can play CD - RW discs written with rewritable CD drives that are written in UDF format. Without UDF reader software, CD-ROM/DVD-ROM in s Toshiba laptops can only read ISO 9660 discs.

• After downgrading from Vista Satellite L30-101 does not read DVD

  Hey,.

  Like many people, I didn't like Vista and so returned to the use of Windows XP.

  In doing so, I lost a lot of things like the ability to watch DVDs and sound, most of these problems fixed so easily by downloading the drivers from this site.

  However, even after the DVD driver download I can't read DVDs yet.
  When you try to play through Windows media player I get say error message that I did not have a MPEG-2 decoder, in the section web site help, it suggests where to get one, but you have to play for each other.
  After having one in the first place, I don't think I should buy a new one.

  If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appretiated if they could let me know.

  Thank you

  PS I have a Satellite L30-101

  I think you have a codec problem, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should install the latest version of Media Player and codec Xvid, DivX and AC3. These are free (google it!). Or you can try alternative software, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, you can try the demo versions.

• Tecra M2: unable to read DVD or use WinDVD 4

  Recently, I replaced my Tecra M2(: MODEL NO PTM20E-0MTGR-EN, SERIAL # 54579007G) hard drive and reinstalled windows xp.

  I did most of my files on an external drive, but I don't have the original installation discs. I am now unable to read DVD or use Win DVD 4 (which came with the machine.

  Is there a file I can download to reinstall dvd playback or otherwise what method can I use to wind dvd port 4 from the external hard drive (there the dll and .exe file but no installation file)

  Thanks for your help

  If you have written about WinDVD player bundled with the laptop, in this case, the situation is as follows: WinDVD player is part of the installation image and may not be downloaded from the Toshiba download page.

  If you want to use the same application, you need to download a free version of the download from producer page or buy it as all other applications. When you buy the computer Toshiba laptop to ensure that each customer can view DVDs and install WinDVD player. If you use original recovery image, you can use it every time but if you want to use your own OS, in this case you are solely responsible for the installation of the OS and software to use.

  If you have preinstalled with success the OS I recommend using any DVD player application. Intervideo WinDVD, one do not.

  Good bye
