  Hello
  When exactly the problem occur?
   
  Follow the steps below and check if that helps.
   
  Step 1:
   
  Test the issue in safe mode and check if the keyboard is blocked.
   
  Step 2:
   
  If your computer very well in Safe Mode functions, you can put your system to boot and check if any third party or any service application is causing the problem and therefore the computer to freeze.
   
  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you can go ahead and disable or uninstall the same.
   
  Once the system is in a clean boot state, check if the computer continues to block or not.

• NO CD/DVD drive on Device Manager

  Made sure I'm looking for the previous post with problems similar to mine before I post this question.

  CD/DVD drive does not appear on the Device Manager.  It does not show as well as the disk management and workstation.  The door of the status bar will not be open except when I use a needle through a pinhole to open it manually.   When I put a disc, it does nothing.  I did system restore, delete Upperfilter and UpperFilter, run malware and Avira under safe mode as others have recommended here, nothing is.
  I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop (Windows Vista Home Premium 32).
  This all started when I downloaded an accession of software drivers.  I regret it now.
  I'm desperate and cannot afford to buy a new computer right now.   I feel like the only hope is to open my laptop but I'm afraid I'll do damage OVER I don't know what to do after I do it.
  Please help me.

  Check if the CD/DVD drive is seen in the Basic Input Output System.

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

Rest of the disassembly procedure went well and I assembled it back but he little silver r 2 bands and a small source, which I'm sure that belongs to the CD player and I couldn't adapt it.

• Cannot get the cd/dvd driver for CD playback

  Hiya

  Earlier this year, my laptop has been infected by viruses, malware, etc. I used the program Spyware Doctor to remove any infections, but so many files and programs are removed.

  On the Device Manager CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver TSSTcorp DVD +-RW TS - L632H ATA Device ended up having a typical yellow mark next to it and the cd player would not read cds or dvds. Somehow however his custom 'fixed' itself, but always play all discs.

  Light to the factory side, it opens and closes, and when a cd is put in it sounds as if its going to do something, but after a few seconds only stops and don't open the program or recognize the drive. I read through many responses of forum and things like delete upper and lower filters do not work as they are already not.

  Advice or answers will be very appreciated!

  Hi sugar_owl,

  1. run the troubleshooter from the link, below, you can see the link below:

• Sdatellite M100 does not recognize the CD/DVD drive in Windows XP

  It is listed in the Device Manager, but with a yellow explanation mark.
  No mention of this in my computer.
  No icon.

  I am able to open the drawer and I put several types of cd/DVD in them without any result.
  The light flashes in orange on the door. The drive is listed as "Mat * advd-ram uj - 841 s-(sm)" in the bios under boot devices.

  I'm trying to figure out how to remove the drive and reconnect but it seems that I have to disassemble the thing to do and hesitate without a diagram.

  It is only a user guide in the downloads on this site so any help is appreciated: 0)

  Oh, I also downloaded the driver from this site for the drie. Before that, I uninstalled the drive in Device Manager, but there was no change when I installed the downloaded driver.

  Simply using a Ubuntu Linux live cd and it is running.
  Unfortunately its going to be hard to know for sure what the problem in this way because I don't want to install ubuntu on this machine it is someone elses machine and they are far from would you like to try linux.

  I'm in a live session now.
  Ah ok when I go in the media folder there is no mention of the cd/dvd drive.

  It is really a problem unless I can unplug physically the Mo and reconnect: 0 (Oh wait here it... is under 'cdrom' folder ' but only files with a relevance to the side by side with windows installation are mentioned... exe files, wubi etc..)

  Ah ok that's beyond my experience.
  Can someone give this amateur a tip?

  First remove the player of ODD (CD/DVD) from the list in Device Manager.

  I found no still no guide how to replace the unit.

  Is there something available?

  Hello!

  AFAIK, you must remove the keyboard first, before you can replace the CD/DVD drive. Remove the screws on the lower side, and then you can push the disc if you have replaced the keyboard.
  It seems to be a bit tricky

  Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help. They can replace the CD/DVD drive for you.
