  • DVD player does not read DVDs but reads CDs only.

    my hp compaq 420 core2 duo dvd player does not read DVDs but only reads the CD. How can I fix this, please help me with the correct answer.

    It will probably replace the drive. There is more than one laser in there: one for each function. You can go bad without the other goes wrong.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ODD on my Satellite C70D-A-11F will not read DVDs

    WEIRD on my t Satellite C70D-A-11F (05.2014) won read DVDs more. No matter that one I try this simply does not work.
    The latest driver is installed.

    Message was edited: assignment has been translated

    Hello

    If the optical disk drive is installed properly maybe bed lens dirty. Try to clean it.

    Otherwise, if your ODD can read CD but not DVD it can also be a malfunction of the equipment. The reading lens cannot be calibrated properly and failed to find the right position to read DVD media.

    In this case, ODD must be exchanged.

    Try to clean the lens and see if the problem still occurs. If so, contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • After downgrading from Vista Satellite L30-101 does not read DVD

    Hey,.

    Like many people, I didn't like Vista and so returned to the use of Windows XP.

    In doing so, I lost a lot of things like the ability to watch DVDs and sound, most of these problems fixed so easily by downloading the drivers from this site.

    However, even after the DVD driver download I can't read DVDs yet.
    When you try to play through Windows media player I get say error message that I did not have a MPEG-2 decoder, in the section web site help, it suggests where to get one, but you have to play for each other.
    After having one in the first place, I don't think I should buy a new one.

    If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appretiated if they could let me know.

    Thank you

    PS I have a Satellite L30-101

    I think you have a codec problem, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should install the latest version of Media Player and codec Xvid, DivX and AC3. These are free (google it!). Or you can try alternative software, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, you can try the demo versions.

  • SD-R2312 will not read DVD or CD in Tecra 8100

    My DC - ROM drive (SD-C2302) died. I bought a second hand SD-R2312 indicating various Web sites should work. I installed the connector of the previous disc and put it in the Tecra.
    The Tecra struggled to recognize the drive but remove and reinsert the drive sets. Device Manager recognizes the drive SD-R2312 and reports that it works correctly.
    However, the drive will not read anything. It vibrates far and finally tells me that the disk is not formatted. I tried pressed CDs and DVDs and burn CDs and DVDs (all - R). These are all the discs that can be read on my other machine.
    So, please:
    What can I do to make it work (and where can I get the update of the drive/firmware/BIOS)
    or is this idea a waste of time, in which case, how will I know what CD drives are compatible with the 8100.
    Thanks for any information.

    Hello

    You can find updates on the Toshiba support page
    _eu http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=eu&ID=Support_Homepage

    But as you can not read any disc, I think that your drive is defective.

  • Pavilion a6220n does not read DVD but CD ok

    I have a Pavilion a6220n running Windows Vista Home Premium, I intend to upgrade to Windows 7.

    But just in time, I noticed that he doesn't read or write DVD, work of the fine conference.

    I'd like to get this fixed first as in order to move to W7, I will have the DVD player works as it should read the file from W7 ISO located on a DVD-R.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, also deleted down filters, no help.

    I also restored the Factory Default Vista and still it will not read the DVD.

    When I insert the DVD just, it is there and does nothing, when I click on the DVD drive in my computer it ejects the disc saying

    "Please insert a disk in the drive.

    I tried several different discs DVD, DVD - R and DVD - RW, same problem.

    These DVD drives work fine on other computers.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    May be that the DVD drive on your computer has become defective. its not the unheard. Try using an external USB DVD drive to install Windows 7. The DVD inside your system is very easy to replace.

  • Since the reinstall drivers, my LG DVD writer does not read DVD

    Original title: LG ELECTRONICS LG GSA T40N Super Multi DVD IDE burner

    I had to re - install the drivers on this drive and then I noticed that there is more to read the DVD. This drive will now appear as a CD-ROM read only by car. When I tried to roll back the driver, the option was not available. Re-installing the drivers did not help and when I went to the LG site the disc has been abandoned and no support was available.

    How can I get this drive to read DVDs? What is the problem with the drivers that I have updated to what makes them to record the album as a CD-ROM drive?

    In the run box, type: regedit, and then click OK

    Navigate to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E3

    25-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    With the right button of the upper filters button, if necessary, and then click 'remove '. Click on the Yes"" button.

    Click the lower filters key, if present and click 'delete '. Click on the Yes"" button.

    Close the registry editor and restart your computer.
