  • Satellite L500 - CD/DVD player has stopped playing CDs and DVDs

    I was with Windows Media Player yesterday to copy music to my MP4 Player. It read 2 cd, but on the 3rd, it stopped working. I thought it was because it was a CD however, burned my CD store, I tried buying and everything and even DVD and it takes forever for the driver trying to read, and then in the my computer window, it pops up a message: "Please insert a disc into drive D" and ejects the CD or DVD.

    I checked the properties and it says that the device is functioning properly.

    I even ran the PC DIagnotistc tool on the D drive, but he jumps right over him.

    Any ideas? My phone is only a month or 2 old.

    Remove the optical drive from the list of Device Manager and restart your laptop.
    After reboot, the device must be installed again.
    Check the feature using different CD and DVD.

  • My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

    My HP Presario f 700 laptop does not recognize my CD/DVD drive and will not burn or play CDs or DVD movies.

    I have a lightscribe, CD/DVD player, and I started having problems about a month ago... I tried to burn a lightsribe CD and my computer told me that I didn't have a CD Lightscribe drive (I!)... then when I just tried to burn the music on the CD, he didn't do it either... Finally a week ago, I tried to play a movie on my laptop, and that does not work either.

    When I insert in the film or the cd, the drive lights up and I can hear the work, but it is as if she has no connection with my laptop and my laptop is not picking up the CD/DVD drive try to play a movie or a cd.

    A friend suggested that I go to the HP website and am trying to download a driver, but I didn't know what to do once I got to this website, and I don't know if it will work.

    If you know how to solve this problem, or if you have had a similar problem with your computer, please help, thank you.

  • Blu Ray player can not read the DVD. It can read CDs and Blu Ray discs, but not DVD.

    Recently, I lost my hard drive.  Dell sent me a new disk with the drivers that came with the computer.

    I just noticed that my Blu Ray player is no longer playing DVDs.  I don't know if the hard drive crash has nothing to do with it, or if it's a coincidence.

    Windows says I have the latest driver.

    The computer is a Dell XPS 8300.   Is the Blu Ray player: bd - re bh30n hl-dt-st.

    The player has not served almost at all.   I read that there are the eyes for the Blu Ray vs DVD, then maybe the DVD part has failed.

    I'm always suspect that miss me a piece of software or a changed value.

    Any ideas?

    For all of you, the poor souls who shared my problem on the internet, I got beyond that.   Even though all said I had the latest driver, I found someone who said that they had downloaded a newer driver form the LG site and it fixed the problem.   Well, BH30N wasn't a model # on the LG site, but I found here: http://www.firmwarehq.com/download_1703-file_BH30N-A103.zip.html Norton said it was OK, I clicked on the EXE file, he said that he had me upgrade from A101 to A103 and suggested that I reload.   Once I did, my Blu Ray player will read the DVD fine.
