• Equium A200 - won't read DVD / CD more

  Hello any help would be appreciated... I'm not very technical so please keep things simple!

  Laptop: Equium A200-1VO
  Model: PSAF5E
  OS: Windows Vista Home Edition 32-bit

  My laptop won't play is no longer DVD or CD
  Work ok bootable CD but when I insert any other they seem not be recognized the drive. I tried to play original movie DVD and CD on a Toshiba DVD player, multimedia Realplayer and VLC Player. I don't get an error message and I see "DVD RW Drive (d :))' in my 'work'

  I searched other threads and followed the advice given. But nothing has worked, so far, I have:
  -removed upper and lower filters
  -updated audio driver
  -update the BIOS
  -reinstalled realtek High Def Audio Driver

  All advice welcome! Help, please!

  Confused chick

  Hello!

  I agree with Akuma. Normally, it looks like the upper and lower filters. You must then maybe try again and read all the instructions in the Microsoft document.

  I'm pretty sure that it is a software issue because you can boot from the CD and so I doubt that it is a hardware problem.
  Maybe you should try to update Windows and check for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager.

  Good bye

  Response

  Hello

  1. are you able to read any type of file .doc or .txt of DVD?

  After following all the steps (including the update of the MP9 for Media Player [MP] 11) below

  I can get the drive to DISPLAY all the data from the DVD (Master & Commander 'movie)

  on-screen MP11.  He plays (automatically) the intro (ONLY) from the DVD music (as when you put it in a DVD player, forward to press PLAY) MP11 shows all of the content and all the files on the DVD and SEEMS ready to play, but pressing on PLAY don't either not anything.

  2 , what exactly happens when you try to burn the CD? You get the error message?

  Not nothing... He's here

  3. How do you try to burn CDs?

  MediaPlayer, selection of a track list, made a list of titles, and then click BURN... nothing happens

  4 have you tried to play the DVD content in ? windows media player

  I had not before, but now I have.  Previously it was default to my SELECTION WIN DVD4 as the DVD player (I think I've EVER SEEN the WINDVD format/start page on the front screen - it wasn't the default front DVD player either but don't remember what program PLAYS the DVD, he ' comes of ").  Now, go back and see 1. above for MP11 more details.

  Try to update the drivers of CD-RW/DVD drive and check. Also update the graphics driver.

  I did the entire bottom.

  1. click on Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.

  2 click on the hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

  3 right-click on the CD-RW/DVD drive, and then select set to update driver.

  He asks if I have an OEM driver and / disk... NO.. I run the program through...

  "Hardware update Wiz can not find a better match the software installed"

  4. right click on the graphics card and select Update driver. »

  There is no "graphics card" on the material.  This machine has integrated graphics using a part of the main memory (or other) to run the video section:

  I find:

  AUDIO, VIDEO and GAME controllers (announcement)

  Audio codecs

  Audio drivers

  Legacy video capture device

  Media control devices

  Audio Sigma

  Video codecs

  All this seem normal but above I see YELLOW TWO warnings under 'OTHER DEVICES '.

  ?!  Ethernet controller "drivers for this divide (code28) is not installed.

  ?! VIDEO CONTROLLER (VGA Compatible) I didn't HAVE NO IDEA if THIS if APPLIES OR NOT

  Device type - other devices

  MFG-unknown

  Location PCI bus, device 0, function 0.  "Drivers for this device are not installed, CODE28 to reinstall the driver."

  Has been through the usual (request for drive... Laughing out loud. Impossible to beat")

  How to troubleshoot common problems that occur when a Windows XP-based computer cannot read a CD or DVD

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/321641

  Did yesterday.  It installed/ran "MR. Microsoft Fixit' with the result:

  "Question: media in the CD-RW/DVD drive is not readable" CLICKED top DIFFICULTY... and after computer "worked" on this subject awhile, he says STATUS: fixed.  St ill did not.   MP9 introduced the format of the DVD player but don't seem to read anything other then showing a list:

  UNKNOWN

  Title 1

  Title2

  Title 3 etc., but could not do anything with this list.

  He appeared a box asking if I wanted to update my MP9... sure why not so I shut everything down and uninstalled 9 and installed Media player 11.

  Go BACK to # 1. now once again.  This is where I am.  MP11 shows all DVD data, the chart "the Album/DVD cover, all"titles"on the DVD, AND play the track audio 'intro' DVD but will not actually READ the DVD. "

  So far it's PROGRESS.  We are at a point where it SEEMS at least that we are ready to PLAY and MP can SEE all the info on the DVD.

  I see many people on other sites of the same question: Player does not work after FORMAT operating system and reinstall of WIN (and in my case: WinXP SP3 and WIN DVD4 of OEM disc)

  Thanks a lot for your help so far... I hope that we can get to the next step and get the reader of CD-RW/DVD on 'PLAY '.

• My inner smartdrive dvd player won't read DVDs more.  I have updated to Snow Leopard in Yosemite.

  I am currently using OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.  I bought in 2009 iMac with Snow Leopard and have to Lion then updated my current operating system.  The internal dvd player has worked with much fussing, (insert the disc - closing - turn after a wait - by pushing the drive when he jumped on reboot).  If I had the chance after a few hours, the video disc show up on my desk.  When this happened, I was opening the dvd player that was in the Finder and the disc would play. I also tried to open the dvd first player and then insert the disc.  That no longer works.  Yesterday, only it just stop working.  The reader still takes dvd and swirls and click as before but then ejects the dvd. Repeatedly stop and restart is no longer works.  I make sure that the dvd be clean before I use it and have tried many different DVDs without success.  I think it's a software issue.  Does anyone have an idea/instructions a nearly dead grandmother brain that can follow to update or redate back to original factory setting to help this poor Smartdrive not so smart?

  I have no TV, only my computer and phone at low prices.  I need to watch that my library borrowed from the dvd.

  Thank you.

  If this isn't the case, they drive could not be started.

• Computer won't read DVD / CD

  I put forward to CD/DVD a few minutes... nothing...
  I go to work, and then on the drive itself...
  I double click on the drive to open the CD/DVD inside the computer and it ejects the disc saying that I need to insert the disc...

  What is happening and why it won't work?

  Hello Zee3,

  Thank you for posting.  This happens with every DVD that you insert into the drive?  If it is only happening with 1 disc may be a bad DVD but if it happens with all DVD/CD that you put in the drive then the drive may have failed.  If this is the case on all disks I recommend to contact your OEM to see if the drive is still under warranty.

  Thank you

• DVD-ROM drive won't read DVD

  I have this CD/DVD which will play normal CD but will not play any DVD (DVD + R, DVD-R). I noticed that the DVD would not work when I was a BONE

  Any ideas?

• 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.
