    Hi J,.

    It seems that the drive has failed.

    The device uses separate CD and DVD optical lasers.

    It seems that the DVD laser has failed.

    Try the drive on another computer if it is a desktop computer.

  • My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop computer bed. PL advise solution. Thank you

    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.

  • Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

    I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

    Hi Bill,

    To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

    As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • MY CD/DVD DRIVE DOES NOT READ THE DISC READABLE

    I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

    I CAN HEAR THE COMPUTER TRYING TO READ BUT IT ME SAID JUST THAT HE HAS NO DISC INSERTED OR THAT THE DISC IS BLANK WHEN ITS CLEARLY NOT.

    IT would NOT be RETURNING to PLAY AUDIO CD IN iTUNES or WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.

    HELP PLZ

    Hello

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

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART 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 coward
    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 check the cables
    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 system manufacturer
    and the manufacturer of the 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.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • Drive DVD/CD-RW of the proBook laptop does not read the CD mudic

    I use a 4410 s HP ProBook and the CD/DVD drive comes with the laptop for almost 2 years.

    He used to have no problem to read the CD/DVD, but about 2 months ago it stop just reading of CD (DVD is fine). I tried many CDs of different music from different brands, but it did not work so I assumed that the drive had to be replaced.

    However, it works very well with data CD (I just realized it today) so it must have been something wrong with the hardware/software, but I don't know what it is.

    Any suggestion how to solve the problem? I want to try all the options before you use the system recovery and having to reinstall all the software again

    Well... the problem is solved by itself. One of the things that I tried yesterday milion needs!

    Try following the steps under "Windows 7 or Windows Vista" in the MS KB article:

    These measures, to remove the UpperFilters and LowerFilters, values if they exist, in the registry key named can help.

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer - 550-a114: drive is not reading the disc

    When I put a disc in the CD/DVD drive, it runs but nothing else happens.

    Also, I'm new to Windows 10.  Why can I not see the DVD drive from the list of products covered by this PC?

  • My CD and DVD readers do not read the disc and my computer connects to the internet.

    In fact, I was downloading a game whose download was about 5 hours. So, I start in the morning and destiny to let it download until I got home. Now, in general, I did it all the time without ANY problems, but when I got home yesterday, 12/08/09 about 19:10:00 PST, the screen was black and read something along the lines of insert a bootable media device or restart your computer. Then, knowing that my score was beautiful and just as good HARD drive, I restarted. He reloaded the check disk tool and started a scan of my C: drive. He then started a long list of repairs, the removal and relocation of some files and things. Fine. Regardless of return to work. However, once it started normally, I couldn't access the internet. I tried to use the installation disc supplied with my DSL 2WIRE Modem, but it did not read and doesn't not appear on my computer. Then, I checked the Device Manager, I found to my surprise that the drivers to my readers of CD-ROM and DVD have disappeared, as well as my internet modem. So now, after this long description, my question is how/where on earth can download the proper drivers and then transport them to my computer? I use computer a member of the family at this time and would like to return mine. The name of my internet modem is Realtek RTL8139. Thanks for the help.

    Hello CC831,

    Thank you for your message.  Go to your computer manufacturer's website and download the drivers you need.  You can then transfer these drivers on your computer that do not correctly work with a USB key or external hard drive.  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • DVD and CDROM will not read the disc

    I recently reinstalled Vista on my PC. In the process, I put a lot of files on a DVD rom for backup. My PC is now updated and everything works fine. However, I put he disc in the drive, it will attempt to read, but no files appear on the disc. However, when I click on "computer", then "E: / (DVD rom player)" it shows who have 4 + GB of information stored on disk. How can I get these files to appear and become available?

    Hi dharmapaws,

    This can sometimes happen if an audio device is disabled or if windows media player is already running in the background when the disc is inserted, then you can check this.

    You can also check if you are able to recover the files on another computer. If so, see if you can extract them and burn a new copy.

    Hope this information is useful.
