• Satellite U400-112 CD/DVD optical drive doesn't read CD disks

  Same problem, my CD/DVD drive doesn't read any cd, but it works with the DVD. Same problem if I try to burn CDs (it does not work, clear yellow on the drive and the drive gets hard blue light on the laptop (U305) permanently on) but it's ok to burn DVDs, even if it takes long to start reading a new dvd. How to solve it? I tried to find a new firmware for the drive, but apparently does not exist (my drive is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-U10N ATA device). Can anyone help? .

  HI Arkadiusz Kulesza,

  You should try to clean the lens using a microfibre cloth. Maybe dust is on the lens it takes long to start to read the disc.

  I had a similar issue that he wasn t possible to burn a DVD and the reason was the CD/DVD drive itself. I replaced it with a new one and everything worked then! :)

  When I insert a disc, the departure by car to analyze and scan again and a new analysis... some applications like IE are frozen during this scan, then after a few minutes it stops just analyzes the disk and adds nothing. Impossible to explore the disc, Device Manager indicates everhing is correct and up-to-date.
  I have try to uninstall the drive from Device Manager after the abolition of upper and lower filter keys registry, no effect on my problem.
  I have also try to reinstall "Hardware Configuration" and HD DVD player, but no results

  Someone has an idea or another trick to try?

  Make sure you have all the updates of Windows installed.

• DVD-ROM drive won't read DVD

  I have this CD/DVD which will play normal CD but will not play any DVD (DVD + R, DVD-R). I noticed that the DVD would not work when I was a BONE

  RESETTLEMENT. I put in my Windows XP restore disc, and installed successfully. Then I put in my drivers disk that was on a DVD-ROM drive and it wouldn't work!

  I could hear the spinning, but it sounded abnormal, and nothing appeared in my computer. Not open same AutoPlay. Frustrated, I decided to get the drivers of

  sites of different manufacturers, including the driver of CD-ROM to see if I could start the DVD. Even after that I installed the drivers for the hard disk, DVD will not play again.

  Any ideas?

• DVD / CD-Rom drive will not read disks.

  I don't know if it's a hardware problem or a software problem.

  When I put a disc in, it runs for 1-2 seconds, stops, turns for 1-2 seconds, stops, turns for like 1-2 seconds, stops (model repeats 3 times at once) and then silence.

  After trying several times to put in and taking the disc, it runs at full speed and I knew that it is a success that it's reading the disc to replay the video. But why it fails then back working again constantly. Solution?

  Also, when my computer is in "sleep" and I wake up, disk she could read his way 'sleep' cannot be detected anymore. Solution?

  The drive model is HP DVD Ram UJ8A2.

  I tried all the solutions software. None of them worked. I have actually used a piece of tissue paper to gently clean the DVD / CD lens a few times and now it works fine. I think the lens must attend a gentle cleaning. Resolved issues.

• DVD drive can not read some discs

  So I have scowered the Internet trying to find an answer to my problem, but everyone always seems to have the same problem except theirs is slightly different so their solutions don't work for me.

  My problem is that my DVD drive (f) works perfectly fine except when I put the CD - RW that I used to save files to my old Toshiba laptop, my laptop (also a Toshiba) seems to ignore my CD drive (d), but which has never really bothered before.

  So my DVD player works perfectly fine for other CD or DVD that I put in, it's only the CD that I used on my old laptop. When I put one in, I can hear it trying to read the CD, then it's just a few stops, when I double click to open the drive, it just comes up with a message saying "Please insert a disc into drive F:."

  The CD works perfectly well on my dads, which is also a Vista laptop so I do not understand why mine doesn't seem to like their reading.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated I need the contents of the CD to my university work.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  CD have a tolerance + - and your must read on the edge out of the tolerance of these discs. They can be given
  However, it is generally more economical to replace the disk that can or mentioned read those.

• Matshita DVD RAM UJ850s ATA optical drive will not read burned media, running Vista

  * original title - CD/DVD unit read not "burned" cd *.

  Hi, there are about 6 weeks, I had to do a recovery because a virus in my PC, the problem is that now the optical unit reads no CD, it reads 'original' CD, DVD (original and burned) but not burned CD specially those who have programs on them, could be a driver problem, but so far I have not been able to solve the problem , and I m not sure the original driver are in Sony's site, or any other Web site.

  PS the thing Burns CD and they can be read after that that they were "closed".

  I have a VAIO VGN-N330FH, running Vista Home Basic 32 bit (Spanish), the model is a Matshita DVD RAM UJ850s ATA Device.

  Hello

  You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
  Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
  correctly.

  Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

  Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

  CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
  tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

• My dvd drive doesn't read disks?

  I'm on Windows XP Edition family with Media Center and endowed of all three service packs and updates.  The drive is a Sony DVD + RW DW Q58A.

  I tried a disc of data of a show, I was in, but the disc won't admit there is data on the disc in the drive.  I tried the all new factory install disks (who worked three weeks when I installed new hardware, they came with), CDs from multiple manufacturers that I myself, had burned the original factory delivers Bo to my favorite show on CD and even the recorded data files drive my friend saved for me.  None of them would play; I continue to see the DVD - ROM icon go to a disk, but it shows 0 bytes free and total 0 bytes, IF it bothers recognize the drive at all.  I can't open the disk in Windows Explorer; There is nothing except an empty window.

  ~ I did the thing to uninstall/reinstall device; no luck

  ~ I tried to update/restore to the driver; the one I have is the only integer

  ~ I tried the Mr FixIt option, but still HE always tells me that my disks are not readable, although I know full well they should be.  The only thing I can think of that may have messed with things is that I accidentally deleted my CD burning software pre-installed.  However, I did go back and redownload/install, so that shouldn't be a problem.

  * Update: I managed to somehow get a frying play-off-the Bo TV disc once out of maybe 15 times, I tried to play it.  The spinning drive and it will read the disk enough to tell me the name of the song and its duration, but Mr FixIT don't like this drive if I try and run the automated thing.

  I think it's time for a new drive, but I hope I can kickstart it to life.  Any suggestions would be helpful.
