My SONY CD-RW/DVD CRX835E [CD-ROM drive] is not available in 'my computer' and I can not open another cd or dvd.

When I try to run a cd my CD-ROM does not appear in 'my computer '.  In addition, the cd does not automatically start as he did once.  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Jim

With pc off, & power off, disconnect the cdrom, plug it into another IDE connection, make sure that

you set the jumper pins plastic on the unit correctly (master or slave), also reset pins on

another unit if 2 share the cable once through, restart the pc, xp will reinstall it.

    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

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    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 (burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD read). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    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.

    These are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - secondary-keys for the CD/DVD drive of course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

    Hello

    1 is this blink when you press the button to eject the CD/DVD drive?

    2. is there the CD/DVD in the CD/DVD drive?

    3 did you changes to the computer before the show?

    If the led does not blink, you can try the following:

  • Tempting desperately to open the Dimension E521 CD-Rom drive does not open. Anyone know the solution?

    I tried all the solutions given by the computer itself nothing doesn't.  It seems that it will open up and then stops.  I have the green light as I usually do, but it flashes not stable.  I really need to use this player.  There is nothing in the drive to get stuck.  Is that someone out there has had this problem and how they solve this problem?

    First of all, try to open Windows Explorer, click right on the optical drive icon and select eject.

    Another option is to hold the eject button in (gently) in electric biking your system.  Take your finger on the button the moment where he begins to open.  In addition, you are allowed to try and hold the drawer open if she tries to close the bottle.  There are generally micro-switches that detect it and put an end to the attempt to close the plateau or the door.

    You can also get the emergency eject hole somewere around the door (sometimes under a bezel).  It should work with the power on or off, but I do it with the power turned off.  (Paste a conductor in a piece of electronic equipment of power on seems a recipe for disaster to me.)  The hole is the diameter of a large paper clip (the favorite :) tool.  Succession the wire out and push to the right .  There should be some slight as resistance it UN-engages the latch and starts sliding drawer open.  At this point, you should be able to get out the drawer/tray by hand.

    Hello

    After Windows Update Version 1511 1607, the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive does not work.

    Could you tell me how to solve this problem?
    Thank you.

    The solution was to uninstall the program "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator' and system settings/Programm features.

  • CD/DVD-Rom drive does not not on Equium A100

    I installed a webcam, and it made my DVD - rom drive does not not with all drives. I uninstalled everything to do with the webcam and it still does not work. Can someone help me solve this problem without using the recovery disk of the product came with my laptop?

    I had this problem before, but I didn't the first time, it's the webcam that has caused the problem. It s webcam trust wb - 1400T. I had to use the product recovery disc and he had a lot of hassle to install all my programs again and this time I'm in the middle of exams and can't get it all done in time for my exams, as I have vital work on here I have to do.

    .. .Please help me... I think it is the driver, but I don't know how to fix it.

    Hi mate

    > I installed a webcam, and it made my DVD - rom drive does not not with all drives
    To be honest I have never seen that the webcam may have a negative influence on the internal CD/DVD drive.
    I see really no connection between the webcam and ODD... very strange
    Do you get any error messages?

    Anyway, in my opinion, you should try these solution ideas;

    (1) remove the drive from the Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the STRANGE and should re-install the drivers.

    2) access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    .. then restart the laptop.

    (3) download and install the tool freeware "CCleaner". This tool repairs registry and solves several problems in System.

    If this does not work, then the new installation of the OS would be wise to check if the problem could be related to a software problem.

    Best regards

  • Satellite L500-126-CD/DVD drive does not open very well unrolled

    Hello

    I just got my second Satellite L500-126.
    I traded my first for a new because the ESCAPE key got stuck sometimes and made a grinding sound.

    Now, with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very well unrolled and 2 bars of silver metal bit come out with the car when I open it.
    Is this normal?

    Also, when I close the dvd player, I hear a little noise "ping!"
    Like a spring, or something. Is that also normal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by 2 small bars of silver, but the reader of my laptop s contains two metals (runners, railway).
    This is normal and these pieces are important to ensure that the drive can eject properly and could remain in a good position.
    Still, you will hear a short click Open and close the drive.

    So I guess it's ok.

  • DVD - Rom drive does not

    I just had my Dell Inspiron 1318 in the shop for service, and when she came back I had to reinstall a lot of my old software.

    The Sony Optiarc DVD +-RW AD - 7640A DVD - ROM drive in my computer didn't have to be replaced at the shop and worked well for the first hours of operation of the system. I had reinstalled Office ' 03 and Roxio DVD burning software and it would try to install something else when the drive has stopped working.

    I also run updates of the system before you attempt the installation of Office 2003, etcetera.

    When I insert a disc in the drive, it produces noises as if she is trying to run or to read the CD before ejecting again.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2, almost completely updated.

    I tried a system restore to the last point of operation disc drive, and then I tried to update my drivers. When he said that I had the more recent/better driver, I uninstalled the device and rebooted. Finally, I tried the Mr. Fix - it on the Microsoft Web site. Nothing has worked.

    Anyone happen to know what is the problem? I need to have this drive works in short order and I really do not have to return the system to the shop for repairs more literally the day after getting it.

  • Satellite P20 DVD ROM drive may not be recognized

    Hello

    I just replaced my DVD ROM drive, but I had a problem.
    It is a new DVD rom drive I ordered at TOSHIBA also.
    It could not be detected by Windows:

    -Tried to reload the driver, the same problem
    Note:
    Whenever I tried to re - insert the disc, the blue light in the control panel of my P20 beds (I understand, which means that the P20 detects the drive) but I don't understand, is that why Windows XP does not detect it or it does not alarm or error messages.
