  My laptop is Pressario V2000. My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop reads the same dvd. PL is the solution. Thank you

  Try another DVD to verify that your laptop can read at least the other DVD.  If he can't play other DVD's then you need to replace the DVD - CD ROM drive supplied with your Pressario.

  Another thing you can try is to check fingerprints or scratches on the DVD, some DVD players are more sensitive than others.

• 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.

  Good bye

• DVD - RW DVR-K17LF for the Satellite series does not read DVD but only to CD

  Hello

  I have a serious problem with my DVD player.
  He stopped to work. I mean, he's not reading CD but not DVD discs.
  I don't know what the problem is.

  I went on the internet and found no solution.

  Please help me.
  It is not a software problem, because my laptop does not start the DVD, but due to the CD...

  Hello

  The issue could be linked to the anomaly of the player's laser lens.
  Maybe the lens can not handle the DVD because of a physical constraint.
  In most cases, the lens can not calibrate properly and therefore different media would not work.
  In this case there is not much to do in most of the cases that the drive needs to be replaced.

  But maybe you could try to clean the drive s laser lens using a cleaning professional who could be bought from the other computer dealers.
  I don't very well if this will help but it s worth to try m

  PS: Try this:
  Remove the drive from Device Manager, access the registry and remove the filters top and bottom of this key;
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Then restart the laptop and check the functionality of s by car.
