my cd rom is not my work computer is 2 years. No music cannot be played on this computer

my cd rom is not working. I tried paying CD and nothing happens. do I need a new dvd - cd player?

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.

  • My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers.

    My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers, most of the time.  Every now and then it will be visible and I can use it but 90% of the time it does not exist.  I tried the regedit fix, nothing.  I tried the program Microsoft Fix It, it tells me it cannot locate a DVD/ROM.  I removed, cleaned and reinserted my DVD/ROM drive, but no difference.  I tried everything, except the upgrade to Windows 7... who will be my last resort.

    Hello gargoyle28m,

    If your hardware is not detected to upgrade to Windows 7 is not a resolution. This issue may be caused if the DVD drive is faulty or connections loose on the mother board. You may need to check the connections. I suggest you check if the DVD drive works on another computer. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help you with this problem.

    Thank you

    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.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

  • Memory micro SD card works on phone, but not on the computer, Please HELP!

    Help, please

    History
    (1) I got a 8 GB Micro SD memory card, it worked fine for two years and then became corrupted, I formatted and it worked fine for about two months before, she has become corrupt again
    (2) this time when it became corrupt my phone always accepted, but the computer could not detect, weird, I decided to not format and continue to use on my phone
    (3) I decided to buy a new memory card and an adapter and then transfer the stuff over the old to the new, but I was shocked when the NEW memory card and a NEW adapter did not work and continued to say needs formatting, hmmm...
    (4) I decided to format it, but it says that it cannot be formatted... WHAT!
    (5) I put the new card in my phone, it works and I have format it on my phone instead... IT STILL DOES not work! Help me!!!

    I still think you should get a new card reader.  The adapters are not likely to be the problem.  On the other hand, I had a player go bad and yet still be "recognized" by the computer.

    It is possible, but probably not - IMO that reinstall the driver (if available; in general, however, these devices use drivers that come built-in to Windows) or a firmware update (if available for your drive in particular) could solve the problem.  What is the brand and model of your card reader?

    At the very least, you should see if you can find someone with a SDHC card reader and then see if you can read and format the card using your cards.
