I have a HL-DT-ST DVD - RAM GH40L SCSI CdRom that do not work.

I have a HL-DT-ST DVD - RAM GH40L SCSI CdRom that do not work. Device Manager indicates "a driver (service) for this device has been disabled. Now, the drive does not at all.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem? I can't get any DVD or CD to run on my PC now.

Hello

Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
the question.

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.

Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser.

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

Hope these helps.

    Hey Buddy,

    have you tried to remove the drive from the "Device Manager" and reinstall completely? Normally windows should install then device and shouldn´t you need all the drivers, especially for the DVD-RAM.
    So, if it is not already done, remove it and try it.

  • Carpet * a DVD - RAM in Satellite A100 drive does not work properly

    When I insert any type of disc, the drive lights up, but the system cannot access anything on the disc. I tried all the fixes that were shown in the forums, but nothing works. The message I get is: D: / is not accessible. I/o device error. Oddly enough the only disc it reads without any problems is the recovery disk. Unfortunately, a system recovery didn't solve the problem.

    Hello

    If you're still guaranteed then it would be necessary in your case bring/send your machine to a local toshiba for a hardwarecheckup servicepartner. But even if Don t you out of warranty you should do it because your questions sounds like a hardware failure.

    If you need help finding a service partner so I can give you a link where you can find one that is closest:
