Playing blu - ray movies... the screen turns black. Help!

My laptop HP dv7 - 4197cl a problem playing blu - ray movies... screen goes black.  When some of the blu ray movies (Green Zone... tried to play 2 drives different blu - ray and "A prophet"), the disc begins to charge to the top and then the screen goes all black.  The disks are new and have no scratches.  Some other blu ray discs will play fine.  I need help.

I already downloaded the lates bios for my computer and there is no other updates for the HP Media Smart program.  Has anyone else had similar problems?  What can I do else?

I just downloaded the latest version of HP Media Smart DVD player on HP website and uploaded on my computer.  Once deleted my old program and downloaded the new version, he played very well.  It really sucks that HP did not offer this update on my older version that said that he had no new updates.  Thank you... I had to do this on my own.

  • upgrade to windows 8.1 now my blu ray will not play blu - ray movies

    I have a Studio XPS 435 t/9000 with an amd radeon r9 200 series graphics card and the hard drive is a PLDS DH - 6E2S 6 X HH SATA multiformat DVD-RW/BD-ROM. and I have cyberlink power dvd 14 ultra. all suggest how to get my computer to read blu ray update firmware of the dells site doesn't seem to work on windows 8.1.

    When you insert a blu - ray disc, open Explorer and click on the optical drive and tell me if you are able to read the contents of the disc. If you are, then the drive is fine but you need an application to read any blu ray movies. If you can not read the contents of disc, I suggest Dell diagnostics running on the drive with a blu - ray disc in the drive and perform the test of READING.

  • Satellite P100-473 - suddenly the screen turns black

    Hello

    Since a few days, I have a problem with my Satellite P100-473 (with Vista Home installed recently + teamspeak only) after you have installed the latest version of Nero (maybe a detail)
    and do not know how, all of a sudden the screen went black.
    I so reboot and still black but the laptop properly started, the screen is activated (light up/down).
    I'm trying not to switch the display on an external monitor (VGA and DVI) no signal.
    I remove the battery for a few minutes.

    After a lot of irritation I gave it a week, I am again yesterday and after two tests display return with an error (such as a debug message), I forgot to note due to the excitement... ten minutes later same problem again:'(.)
    Yesterday before restarting the screen, I wait to start completely > type my password > sound > wait a minute > and type ESC / enter key at random.

    Can you please help me to find the source of this problem and maybe the solution to solve?

    Thank you very much for your future assistance, I hope you understand my pathetic English
    Best regards

    Hello

    Wait. You said you use external LCD and an external LCD related to this laptop.
    Do you use an external monitor Samsung, and maybe have you installed MagicTune software on your laptop?
    Please check this box.

    As far as I know software Samsung MagicTune can permanently disable the integrated computer Toshiba LCD display screen. Why?
    Because the MagicTune software is designed for use with desktop computers that do not have a built-in LCD screen.
    If your integrated LCD display has been disabled by the MagicTune software, you will need to make an arrangement for repair with a Toshiba authorized Service partner.

    But I hope that you have not installed this software.

    The game screen comes up and it goes into the updates and I have select or not it returns to this message.  I tried to use the touch pad to select the game, rather than the mouse, but that does not make a difference.  I couldn't play this blu - ray disc library at home, without the internet.  at the library, with the internet, I still can't play.

    also received a message that the sp50935.exe should be uninstalled.  given that I just downloaded worries me to uninstall.

    see the post about? power play DVD and not uninstall HP DVD media, but if it works I am unsure of how to bring that?

    Hello

    First of all, if you still wish to reinstall HP MediaSmart DVD, the latest installer can be downloaded from the following link.

    HP MediaSmart DVD.

    However, the issue of the update with MediaSmart DVD is well known, so I would really say that replacement by the version of HP from Cyberlinks PowerDVD 10 that seems to be a much better solution. You can install this software as follows.

    First, download the latest installer for this on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

    Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder and double-click the installer for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once this done, see if your Blu - ray disc now plays OK.

    Hello guys I need your help when I turn on my camera, my phone screen colors change, and sometimes it goes to black screen when I lock / unlock my colors sometimes phone repairs to normal, but when I turn on my camera once again it still happens

    The phone has been maintained in the past?

  • Satellite P200-RT3 - the screen turns black during the Vista installation

    Laptop worked very very slow for a while (everything worked very well - just very very slow), so I decided to restart costs after the support of all my data to the top and make the factory since HARD drive restore.

    The recovery is going very well and then after restarting Vista and is preparing to launch for the first time (prob trying to load the graphical interface of Windows), display dies - black towers with some artifacts along the top of the screen. Restart in Save Mode does nothing once it is in mode safe is it says that "Windows is unable to complete the installation in mode safe process - please restart." Restart normally translates into artifacts, like LKG configuration.

    Think something went wrong, I did the whole process again with the same result...

    Thinking the recovery partition is buggered, I grabbed a Vista Home Premium disk and installed from there... same result.

    Think display Vista drivers are buggered, I installed XP Home to rule out the possibility of a crystal display liquid buggered... XP installed fine.

    Try the recovery again... no luck.

    Hello

    Just FYI: you can create a recovery disc yourself. You know about it?
    You must only start the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop. You can find it on start > programs > TOSHIBA.

    The Toshiba Recovery disk contains an image of the factory settings and it s identical to option HARD drive recovery but the drive erases the entire HARD disk.
    In my opinion, the disk is very useful, because if your drive HARD get faulty and you need a new one you can restore the settings from the factory with this disc.

    Anyway, if you have a problem during the installation of recovery, you should go to an authorized service provider. It could be a hardware malfunction, because a mistake shouldn't t normally appear due recovery facility.

  • Problems with Photoshop CS5 - the screen turns black

    In the last days I had serious problems with my Photoshop CS5. It works on a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.8

    While a simple example using the stamp tool or by increasing the size of the canvas of my screen suddenly goes black and I have to restart my laptop. This had been past about 7 times consecutively a few days that the screen would go black after a few minutes of working on the photo. This has never happened before, so I am quiet worried...

    Interestingly, when I'm working on InDesign CS5 and Illustrator CS5 no such thing happens, it is only on Photoshop.

    What should I do? Help!

    Greetings!

  • Screen turns black during a short period of time and after 5 seconds on the Satellite A200-1DN

    Hey there
    I have a little problem with my computer, when I start a game, more games, age of empires 3, nfs most wanted, grand theft auto: vice city etc, the screen turns black during the game and then corrects itself after a few seconds, it becomes boring xtremely, especially when you are in the middle of something.
    After that the game closed in the lower right of the screen in the taskbar, a pop up appears saying my display driver has stopped responding, resulting in at least 5 different file names that have stopped responding.

    I have a Toshiba TFT screen with direct x 10(which might be the problem with the older games,i think!).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    My computer configuration is the graphics card with 1.5 GB of RAM, vista and intel 950 processor intel dual core.
    THX.

    Have you tried to play a game designed to run under Vista OS or you have noticed that play WXP games on your laptop preinstalled Vista. If possible, try to get the Vista game and test it again.

    I wonder if something goes wrong, while playing older games WXP on Vista platform.

  • BlackBerry smartphone screen turns black in the Blackberry Bold 9900, but everything else, keys, touchpad screen and keyboard still works.

    It is a problem, I think that many have known, but there is no real solution to the problem. However, initially all of a sudden phone has begun to show an error (can't remember not exactly what, but something related to something does not turn) and the screen locked with constantly showing loading circling constantly clock and the narrowing of the battery quickly. what I've done; Hold the alt + right shift + del (twice) to restart the phone. Restarting the phone, the screen turns black (which indicates there is neither power or the screen itself issue and it's just a matter of graphics functionality). The phone restarts you black screen, the phone clearly charged the software couple received messages (indicating the phone works and the network also works). The phone rings again and the touchpad works if you know by heart, keyboard and the short keys for speed dial works (which means that yo can call), but the screen turned black. I think it's graphic material rather software number. I tried to do all sorts of stuff and things, did not work. Finally, I decided to restore the Blackberry software (running the latest version 7.1) so I plugged it in to the computer and run terminal BlackBerry Desktop to perform an update failed with this error: "an error occurred when downloading the BlackBerry® Desktop software. Please try again. "and offered to launch the"regsvr32 ole32.dll"in order to connect to the Blackberry server to do the update. tried, restarted my PC, plug the unit again removing battery, replacement and tried again, keep showing the same error. I tried all the advice forums, youtube videos and even troubleshooting I contacted Microsoft (running windows 7 64-bit), server connection module installed and works perfectly still having the same problem.

    I hope that blackberry had a clear answer to these questions and have someone in the customer service who can solve the problem instead referring users to the forum!

    Anyone who had experienced the same problem and found a solution, please respond. your help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    The GPU is integrated into the cpu, so the phone would not ring or the touchpad does not work. It is possible that the phone fell or anything that could cause the connections on the motherboard to disconnect, I gave up my 9930 and causes the connector unplugs. Would you feel comfortable taking apart? It's easy, I think you could look up how do on YouTube. I could help you if you are on Central time or Pacific.

  • My PC play Blu-Rays?

    I plan to buy a Blu - Ray to my PC drive but I don't know if my PC can handle Blu - Ray.

    My PC Specs are:
    OS: Win Vista Business 32-bit SP2
    RAM: 2.0 GB
    PROCESSOR: Processor Dual Core T3400 2.17 GHz by heart
    VIDEO: nVidia GeForce 9400 M G
    SCREEN: display 1366 x 768 16:9 HD
    Installed CODECS: K Lite Codec Pack (including the ffdshow)
    The PLAYERS INSTALLED: iTunes 10.5, Window Media player 11 & Media Player class Home Theater of SurgeForge (not the Microsoft program)

    With these specifications, if I have a Blu - Ray player with my PC play Blu-Rays?
    To after my research Blu - Ray files are encoded with the same codec MP4 as required to play an MP4 in Windows Media Player.So Blu - Ray is based MP4 and I can play MP4 movies (movies up to 1080 p MP4) so I think that my PC can play Blu - Ray movies, but I want an expert opinion on this.

    Of course, I have a Blu - Ray player on my TV (PS3) but I would like to play Blu-Rays on my PC while I'm away from home, so my PC to play Blu-Rays so I get a Blu - Ray player?

  • Impossible to play blu - ray on my Satellite A665-11Z

    I rebooted my machine with windows 7 64-bit, the other day and since then I can't play Blu - Ray movies more.
    Before reloading, I could play in the movies.
    Are there drivers for the DVD drive, or how we can solve this problem?

    I use WinDVD to play my blu - ray movies and the error is "Media not supported".

    Thank you

    You have reloaded Windows 7 with the recovery image Toshiba (the operating system that you got with your laptop)?

    To watch movies BR use preinstalled WinDVD BD for Toshiba. As I write this in the background comic film runs on pre-installed drive.
