• Optical drive will not read anything else professional films

  So, I am owner of a 2012 MacBook Pro 13 ". The computer comes with Intel Core i7 processor and has the maximum of 8 GB of Ram. The problem is that the optical drive that is built into the computer will read nothing else done professionally movies. It can read disks of movies like the Lord of the rings and Wargames, to name a few, I tested, but it will not read any DVD-R disc or to a CD. I tried the CDs as Metallica music... And Justice for all after try in another computer and a radio and get good results when it just won't play on my Mac.

  I have had this problem in the past , but at the time the optical drive not read anything at all. This occurred in early December and I fixed it on 20 December. To solve the problem, I went to the Apple Store and they can Reset the P - RAM. The Apple guy he told me to make sure to disable every night. I did this because it's what I did in the past. After that, I was able to play any CD or DVD and burn them. I also tested it every two weeks by playing a DVD in there to check that it still works. But I discovered that it was broken again when tried to insert a DVD-R to burn things on it and the computer only it spun and then ejected it. I've known this current problem since around mid-April.

  I did some research on it and what I have read I believe that I must buy a cleaning disc and run it in my optical drive to clean the lens of the eye out, but I don't understand how I am able to read some disks and not others if that is the problem.

  Can I take it again in the Apple Store and get it looked like or should I buy a cleaning disc and run it through my optical drive, and then decide what to do next? I'm in no hurry to get this problem fixed because my guarantee does not expire until the end of July this year.

  I don't know why you want to put some words in BOLD and a few words in normal font. Frankly I find it a bit annoying when someone does something like that, but oh well... what you could do is to try a cleaning disc (the one with little brushes this topic) or a good breath of air compressed. In addition, some brands of DVD - R Virgin do not work as well as others. I found verbatim to be good, maybe maxell or Taiyo Yuden. Your mileage may vary...

  If this still does not work, feel free to zap the pram x 2-3) and do an smc reset. Shut down the computer, plug power adapter, hold down the left shift, control, option, and button works / stop for about 45 seconds, let go of all of them, then press the power button to restart. If none of this works, then by all means to make a genius bar appointment and bring it in to your local Apple store. Hey, if you have an extended warranty, might as well use it, right?

  Good luck

  Try again the trombone - remove the disk in the drive (if it exists) and see if the drive will be

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

• My ts-tb23l hp dvdwbd dvd drive won't recognise dvd-video.

  I have a hp Touchsmart 610 with windows 7 and the dvd player does not read video however it will play music. HP 610-1020 a TouchSmart desktop PC.  any ideas on why this is. brand new unit.

  Hello

  Normally, it allows you to change 4 times and will remain regardless of the area in the fifth. Many DVD players (home systems) are now free players area (for example, in Australia) but the number of optical drives on the PC / laptops are not. There is a software called AnyDVD which allows you to play any area of the DVD and now comics on the PC / laptop.

  Kind regards.

  What I have to buy a new dvd player or can it be repaired? also, would it not a motherboard problem, which means that I should probably get a new laptop?

  Thanks for any help,

  Andrew

  Hello

  I put t think that this drive problem has something to do with the motherboard. The operating system is running properly and I think that you have only one problem with your CD/DVD drive.
  Unfortunately, I put t hear it is possible repair. It is perhaps possible to s, but I think that costs are too high to do and this is why the new replacement drive is always advised.

  You can try to remove the drive from Device Manager and then after reboot the operating system should recognize it again. You can also try to clean the lens but I n t think this will solve anything.

• Carpet * a DVD-ram uj 820 does not read anything

  Hello everyone,
  My problem: the DVD player and CD used to run perfectly since 2 years ago, I bought the laptop.
  A week ago the driver suddenly stopped reading and not reading any CD or DVD, no music, no data.
  Nothing...

  Can someone help me?
  Thank you, J.

  Hello

  It is possible that the drive is faulty, but to confirm this, the drive must be verified by the service. It will be interesting to know what exactly happens when you try to use certain media. Is the absolutely silent drive with no activity or the control LED lights up and car tried to read the media? What is the status in windows Explorer? If the list, what happens when you click on ODD? Is an error occurs?

  What you can do is:

  Remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. After this check the functionality.
  Try to clean the lens
  Playback option with CD or DVD original only test
  I'm not sure this will help, but if it happens all of a sudden try to restore the operating system by using the system restore utility

  It is really not easy to tell what the problem may be, but it is really possible that the drive is dead.
