M40: DVD/CD-RW drive has stopped working.

Good day all. I have a Toshiba Satellite M40.

For a long time, my DVD/CD-RW player just stopped working. She stopped reading any kind of optical discs - no data, no DVD or CD of music.

The first step I took was to re - install the Windows XP operating system. It worked, but the problem comes back shortly after. The second time, I had to install the drive manually, and that worked for a while.

The problem came back a third time, but this time, the disc of additional software supplied with the notebook, which includes the driver for the drive, does not. I get an error reading 'CD-ROM drive not found '. I tried to reinstall the operating system, but the drive does not read the product recovery CD. Windows starts just straight up normally.

So, my faithful laptop for some reason any does not recognize the existence of the DVD/CD-RW drive, and I am at a loss for what to do. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Desperate Nigeria :(

Hello

What is the status of the drive in Device Manager? Is there some whoo sign indicates that the reader may not work properly. Go to properties and check the status of the device.

  • Qosmio G30 - DVD-ROM drive has stopped working

    I have a Qosmio G30 age of 3 years and the DVD - ROM drive has stopped working.

    He still pulls in, but it will not read or burn discs.

    I received a quote of £360 Toshiba to adapt to a new one that seems generous.

    Anyone know where I could get it fixed cheaper than you?
    Or better yet... anyone know where I can I get it fixed?

    Hello
    This is not an answer to your question but can solve the problem if it is the same that I had.
    In my case, the drive tries to spin but it slips. Only the motor shaft rotates and the drive remains at low revolutions that were not even stationary.
    The problem was caused by the fact that the plastic part (black color) of the mechanism which engages the disc (CD or DVD) slips on the
    motor drive, axle and th couldn't do a full rotation or runs at the specified speed.
    The solution is to delete the article in plastic and put a small amount of super glue on the axle and then put it back.

    Where there is a similar issue, I hope that solve you it like I did.

    Rare Hi

    This message is certainly created by the installed graphic card driver.
    I can't say for sure why this happens, but I recommend you to reinstall the graphics driver.
    In most cases, this should fix problems with gambling.

    Hello

    If the reinstallation of the system with the recovery CD does not help, then it is not a software problem.
    This means that some hardware component is defective.
    In this case, you need to take your laptop to the service.

    Hi Jeroen,

    I think that your problem is related to overheating rather than a defective display driver. The idea here is that it takes several attempts to reboot, giving the unit time to cool.
    I suggest that you try to remove all dust and debris from your radiator and see if it improves the stability of your units.

    You can download a copy of your display driver of: -.

  • Office Pavilion Elite HPE message: AMD/ATI Video Driver has stopped working properly

    I have a Windows 7 Desktop HPE-410y, this morning, that the flag of the action center was at the bottom of the screen.  I clicked on it and there was a message: AMD/ATI Video Driver has stopped working properly.  He also said I should click on a link for a solution to this problem, but of course when I made the site of HP said that the page does not exist.

    Maybe say if you have in fact noticed nothing else Action Center indicator would be useful.  If it seems to you that the computer was OK and run satisfactorly, then perhaps he had already solved the problem.  Usually reviews can occur if a program did unexpected things and crashed the video driver, then the driver recovered.

    HP site can be set to an old page.  The real driver has not been updated recently on the HP site.

  • "the igxprd32 display driver has stopped working normally please restart your computer" on intel gma 3150

    "the igxprd32 display driver has stopped working normally please restart your computer" on intel gma 3150, especially when I run 3d games or install Skype 5 and start on this video than the above message appears please advise solution and oblidge. Thank you

    First of all, you're not telling the forum what version of Windows, edition and service pack level your system is running.  Please do.

    Secondly, there is no describe your system.  Tell us who makes your system and its model, if a packaged system.  If not packed, please tell us who manufactured your motherboard and model.  If your video card is another box and not originally shipped with the system, please tell us the manufacturer and model of the adapter.

    Finally and most importantly, please read 555375 Microsoft Knowledge base article, how to ask a question.

    Now, in general, unless your system has a card mother Intel®, you do not want to download an updated directly from Intel® driver.  If there is a system, you will want to download an update of the driver support from the manufacturer of your system model site.  If not packed, see web site for support of the manufacturer of the motherboard for your updated driver model.  If this isn't the case, a card mother Intel®, the reason for the not to load the Intel® GMA 3150 drivers from the web site Intel® is that there may be unhandled in the Inte® base drivers implementation changes.  Nor should download the drivers through Windows Update, except as a last resort.  If Windows Update contains an updated driver, check you motherboard of the system/website of the manufacturer for updates.  Be aware that some manufacturers/motherboard of the system (e.g. Dell) don't feel any economic incentive to keep the drivers/firmware to update if a motherboard system was abandoned.

    No member of this forum is omniscient!  Provide complete information leads directly to all the answers!
