Problem with the opening of the DVD player

I have a Dell Studio 540 which is 7 years old. The past few months when I press the eject button it tries a couple of times to open but may not. To open it, I have to open it manually.

Also of Windows when I right click and try to eject it try a couple of times and then it says that an error has occurred during the DVD - RW disc ejection.

If the problem is with the drive I get a new one this week.

Anyone know what could be the problem.

Thank you.

Looks like the DVD drive failed, best to replace, DVD SATA drives are inexpensive to buy.

  • Problems with the DVD on Pavilion dv6-2010sa

    HP Pavilion dv6-2010sa laptop computer (under Windows 7 x 64), I bought less than a week ago.

    I started the disk recovery software to back up my OS in the event of future disasters.

    I used a DVD + disc, so it would take 3 discs to do the recovery disks.

    First DVD completed successfully. Software asked me to enter the disk 2.

    This is where I started to have problems.

    Drive recovery software couldn't recognize my blank dvd +.

    The drive makes a lot of noise, but then stopped making noise.

    I tried a few other DVDs +, but to no avail.

    I rebooted the computer laptop and tried but same problem.

    So I tried to play a dvd movie to see if it was the disk recovery software or the dvd player.

    He would not play a dvd movie.

    I also tried to play an audio CD but the same problem.

    The drive icon appears in Windows Explorer, but does not display any info (or open the CD / DVD) when I have a CD or a DVD in there.

    So it seems to be a problem with the DVD-> grateful not any CD / DVD

    If someone can advise?

    PS. I searched the driver DVD (so I could Reinstall driver) but the HP Web site does not contain the driver for 2010sa (DVD software only)

    Thanks in advance

  • Problem with the Flash Player and safely remove Hardware icon

    I'm a casual pc user, so it's not very technical!

    I bought a new computer from Dell Studio One desktop in July.  I use it once or twice a day in general.  When I use it, I usually insert a flash drive so that I can save my documents, etc.  I also use the safely remove hardware option before removing the flash.

    Here's the problem: these days, the little 'remove hardware safely' remained in my taskbar with the green check mark on that.  When I click on it, it shows an option to safely remove drive F.  Until this problem, when I want to insert flash, Windows would label it drive F.  Now, all of a sudden, when I insert the flash, it becomes the G.  And I have this ghost f.

    It's not a huge deal, I don't know, but I do not understand what has happened.  Furthermore, I use Vista, and when finally, I guessed my way, I found the Code 47 as the cause of the problem.  Of course, Code 47 indicates that I left something trendy, but obviously, I have not.

    Any help out there?

    Hello

    I suggest check in disk for the driver letters which are present management and remove no matter what additional driver letter (e.g. f :/) and check if the problem is resolved.) Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

    Hello, thanks for reading and helping me.

    I try to play a legitimate, belonging to DVD, but Windows Media Player 12 will not play on my computer Windows 7 Professional.  The DVD worked a few days ago, but all of a sudden, I get the following error message:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

    I did a lot of research of these forums and on the ' net.  Here are the suggested steps I tried without success:

    • I tried VLC player.  This works.  However, rather than use this workaround, I wish to find a solution to my problem WMP/WMC.
    • I tried several DVD for years over the last decade.  These DVD works on my laptop, also running Windows 7 Professional and the shark 007 codec.
    • I uninstalled my Shark 007 codec
    • I tried other codecs (K-Lite)
    • I assured that the latest drivers are installed on my video card, XFX ATI Radeon 5850
    • I tried to uninstall Nero 9
    • I tried to use the Windows 7 troubleshooting options:

    • > Windows Media Player DVD (no problem)
    • > Windows Media Player Settings (detects a problem, wants to restore factory settings, every time, no matter what happens)
    • A system restore to a time when the DVD was working did not resolve the issue
    • The different links in Microsoft, I found in this forum about this problem do not seem to be useful.  There is a link that points to the set-top boxes, but this page just says: "Windows 7 comes with a decoder.
    • I assured the latest driver is available by going to "Device Manager", right click on the drive, then click on "update driver software".
