  • faulty internal drive, make noise, even when empty

    My internal DVD drive is faulty and continues to make noise as if a disc is stuck in there. The noise stops when the computer goes into mode "Eve". It is an iMac 2007 and probably not worth the cost of a repair. Is it possible to stop the noise by turning off the player or eject it somehow from the hardware list. The computer works perfectly in all other aspects. I guess I could learn to live with the noise, but would rather not if someone out there has a solution. Thank you

    You can always buy an optical drive of the correct specification of several sellers &

    have one put in, or use an online guide to replace the component yourself.

    Identify the exact model of guidance to see what is involved in the restoration of the iMac.

    • iMac repair guide intel - iFixit:

    https://www.iFixit.com/device/iMac_Intel

    One of the online sellers whose inventory likely includes an optical replacement

    Reader SuperDrive equivalent for the iMac (intel) would be OWC macsales. They also have

    some DIY video guides to see how to make various repairs. Generally a little

    additional tools would be needed. While the iMac is open for the replacement of this

    part, is an opportunity for the battery of the clock to be replaced as well. Maybe even

    drive hard replace; hard disk rotation is probably rather worn.

    So, it could be a great DIY project, if you went into it knowingly, with the right parts,

    tools and patience. Lets have a second machine to check details

    the online repair process; guides and video to help.

    In any case...

  • Windows Vista freezing no matter what I do, even when starting.

    For the last few weeks, my computer was freezing.  Everything stops. I have to unplug my computer to restart. I've updated the Windows HP programs, all drivers, nothing works. I tried method 2 (below) but the System File Checker come clean. I'm hesitant to try Method 1 not only because it's so complicated, but there is a warning that it could make the computer unusable. I never know when it will freeze. Some days it doesn't, other days like today it freezes on & all day. If I use method 1 to determine which service or startup item is causing the problem, should I use my computer in this mode until it either hangs or does not work? I don't know what I'm supposed to find out what Service or startup item is originally from the gel (if that is what is really causing the problem yet!)  I'm so frustrated! Any advice?

    I tried to use some of the tips from other questions such as:

    Method 1
    Step 1: Start in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
    Note: Select Safe mode with networking from the advanced boot options.

    Step 2: Put the computer to boot and check what third-party application is causing the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: Reset the computer to start as usual according to step 7 of the above mentioned link.

  • CD/dvd drive is not listed in Device Manager

    my laptop is a hp pavillion entertainment pc dv6605us, running windows vista. the cd/dvd drive is not read / write any CD and it is not listed in Device Manager. I tried to fix this problem by using the microsoft fixit tool, but I'm still having the same problem. I checked the system registry and found no upperfilters and lowerfilters.
    Please, how can I solve this problem?

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as it is often the total process
    which solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  • DVD drive seems to not write

    HP G71-340us

    Windows 7 64 bit

    A laptop for 2 weeks now. Message has just popped up to create recovery DVDs, okey dokie NP.

    Have a new offer of Memorex DVD - R 4.7 GB DVD so I go and get the three said the program of recovery is necessary.

    Disc 1 - recovery said the disc was not Virgin, ok maybe I got a bad DVD, he said to eject and insert a blank DVD.

    Disc 2 - recovery began and grew to 6% then says incompatible disc.

    I have now 2 coasters.

    I start the HP provided program Cyberlink Power2Go, select a folder with about 3 GB of data and insert a new DVD-R in the drive. Click on burn starts now and valid program to burn DVD for a minute at the media stops as an error.

    Have now 3 coasters.

    These DVD works in my laptop HP DV6000 computer, old Acer laptop and 2 desktops Sony.

    Can I have a bad drive or have a solution?

    EDIT:

    I had a few CD - RW I bought about 10 years ago, jumped into a vacuum and the program Cyberlink Power2Go copied about 300 MB of photos and finalized the CD fine.

    It seems so the reader works for burning CD - RW but not DVD-r.

    Update:

    After being on the phone for a few hours with tech support, they think I have a faulty DVD drive. They offered to send me one to replace me?  I informed them that I had another 3 hours to return the laptop to Staples to meet their 14 days back for any reason policy. The tech laughed and said go for it and call back if I still have problems.

    Back the laptop in the box, goto Staples, exchange for a new, light, go through the Setup program, click on create recovery disks and voila, it creates any recovery 3 DVD perfectly and still had 1/2 hour to spare.

    In any case, technical support has been excellent, Staples was very thoughtful and I have a working computer.

    Hello

    > * 1 *-I want to use in the car for playing DVDs in the back seat. Can I use the Toshiba external dvd drive?

    No, you can't attach an external CD/DVD drive to the AC100.
    The USB port supports the external USB HDD (FAT12/16/32/exFAT) and a memory flash USB (FAT12/16/32/exFAT) for copying data.

    > * 2-* is there a car charging/adapter plug or anything like that?
    Yes, google for cigarette lighter Thrive AT100. Otherwise, you can order part comatibel of ASP in your country.

    > * 3 *-my stereo bluetooth, USB and ipod has access to-what options there are to store & playing music on the Tablet via these

    Take a look in the Android market and search of HiFi Android app.
    But as far as I know if you want to stream music from tablet to sorrows, both must be connected to the same network.

    Yes, it would be really interesting that you´ve of application installed recently. Most CD writing programs can also cause the phenomenon of 'lost reader', but I think these Microsoft the previous user link should help.

  • v125W 16 GB USB Flash Drive reporting disk full when moving some files

    Let me apologize in advance if I put this topic in the wrong forum!

    Hi all! I received a v125w 16 GB USB Flash Drive for Christmas (link). Works just fine until I went to move some files .iso to DVD on it so that I can transfer them on my netbook to watch while I'm away from home for long periods of time. in any case.

    The .iso files are standard DVD rips of discs I own, so the question of the integrity of the hacking or file is not a problem here. The .iso files work very well on my desktop, I can be read and can also burn backups without a hitch.

    Each .iso file is at 4.35 concerts after a tear. When I try to drag and drop them on the flash drive, windows tells me that the destination disk is full and I need to free up space. I get this message, even when there is absolutely no other files on the flash drive.

    I put the .iso file into a new empty folder and tried to move in this way, but it gives me the same results. So I threw a bunch of other files in a folder (any of my .iso files) and got 7 concerts in total. He moved very well in the flash player.

    I ripped a DVD of my son and the resulting file is 3.28 GB in size. I can move this .iso on the FlashDrive without problem.

    But now I'm at the end of my rope as to why this is happening and what to do now. It has no sense to me at all. If someone here on the Forum could provide some advice on what I need to I would really appreciate it. I prefer not having to sit on hold with HP my entire weekend.
