Optiarc bd rom will not read bluray after upgrade to windows 7

I tried a year ago to find and to address this issue and give it all up.  I'm trying again now because it really peaves me that I pay for a product a fork over the extra money just to be able to watch a bluray disc and then when I spend more money to upgrade to windows 7, my driver is no longer recognize blurays.  the pilot is optiarc 5500 s, I really hope someone has solved this problem by now, or, worst ever customer service.  Help, please.

It is a puzzle game. According to Windows 7 compatibility for this drive, there should be no compatibility issues.

http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=Sony%20NEC%20Optiarc%20BC-5500S%20Blu-ray%20Drive&v=Sony%20NEC%20Optiarc&uid=BC-5500S&l=en-US&pf=9&pi=0&c=Storage%20Devices&sc=CD%2FRW%20%2F%20DVD%2FRW&os=64-bit

I don't hold much hope that it will help but I would like to remove the device and allow the system to reinstall.

Go to the Control Panel Device Manager. Sanicle unit on the list and uninstall. Reboot the power off. Let the system re - detect and re-install support. Reboot once again and test.

Let us know.

  • CD/DVD-Rom will not read the CD

    I just upgraded from vista to windows 7 Home premium database on my laptop and now my CD-DVD-Rom will not read any CD I put in the drive. He reads that DVD very well so I'm up for a loop now. My drivers are all far better that I can find. I know it's a CD-DVD-Rom, because before I updated I had no problem reading CDs and DVDs. This is a problem because all my anti-virus and other programs are all on CD. I don't know how to fix this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    -Thank you

    Thanks for the post with suggestions. I have tried it all and still had the same problem. I called Dell and got the laptop computer and an hour with a tech restarted my computer and try to fix it, they decided that something in the upgrade process damaged my CDRom and they sent me a new to replace my current one. I'll get it Tuesday and weather post or not, that is the question. Just in case where there are other people out there who might have the same problem.

    -Thank you again for your help

    Hello

    Try this to see if the drive is viable at all.

    / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 then watch the display as you launch - set initialization
    order on CD/DVD first. Don't forget to when.

    Try to start a Windows Vista repair disc, and or a Linux boot disk.

    If the player does not start to these then it has failed, or other hardware issues
    which affect it. However, even it doesn't start that does not mean that there are not a few possible
    other features of the material problems affect the reader.

    The rest of the message is a response above.

  • SlimType BD E DS4E1S will not read discs after windows update

    My laptop has a Slimtype BD E DS4E1S drive.  After doing upgrades with windows 7, it can now read all disks.  All MS suggests tried, but nothing has worked.  Don't ask, discs have been read in the same drive, before this problem started.  The computer is only a couple of months.  This utility shows no problem with the drive.  It just keeps telling me to insert a disc, such that no disk is detected.  Already tried changes to the registry (MS) and uninstall, reinstall the driver with no result.  Any suggestions?

  • CDDVD rom will not read the dvd rom or DVD

    my cd/dvdwrighter reads only cd rom not my dvd rom or DVD

    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.

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

    This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
    a shot.

    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 make sure that the cables in both

    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.

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

    Follow-up: I could get this to work, although the causes escapes me and the fix is not pretty:

    2 remove folders vmware related in c:\program files (or installed path)

    3. manually remove all references to "vmware" of the registry

    4 reboot.

    5 reinstall the server vmware to the default locations.

    OK, I read the other posts on these discs. Mine will play DVD movies and play them. It will not read the dvd ROM CD CD-ROM etc.
    This cannot be a hardware problem, it must be the software should not it?
    Can anyone help?
    Does anyone have information on how to remove these disks of the computer? Im sure I can install a new one myself if I really need to.
    Unfortunately the computer is just out of warranty

    Hi Robert,.

    Unfortunately, your problem sounds like a problem with the hardware with the optical drive. The player itself must be able to refocus its lenses to switch between DVD and CD formats, and also to pass the pressed DVD and DVD burned.

    I suggest you tyre remove the device from the Device Manager Control Panel, then restart your laptop so that the optical drive will be recognized as a new component hardware and Windows will then be re - install with standard drivers etc. If this does not work then it looks like a new drive will be necessary.

    Unfortunately you say not what model of laptop you have (the removal procedure is not the same in all cases), but in general if the car is equipped with in-house it is held in place with one or two screws accessible from the bottom of the laptop that should be removed first, then the optical drive can be slid out of its location.
