Re: Satellite 5200-501 (old) Cd/Dvd-rom is not reading the CD rom/DVD

Hello

I have an old laptop of my father (purchased in 2003). I clean the laptop to use it for surfing the Internet.
Unfortunately, I noticed that the CD DVD rom (with signature of driver of Aplix Corpation) doesnot read the Cd or DVd.

2 questions.

1 can someone help me with troubleshooting?
-J' already checked the Device Manager and the device SCSI DVD Rom SCSI Cd rom works / is enabled;
-Tried it lot the driver (version 5.1.2535.0 Microsoft), but it does not;
-He begins to read a Cd/Dvd (blinks) but I still don't see a drive mapping;
-In the management of the computer the CD-ROM (Dvd - rom) doesnot appear;

2. has tried to remove the DVD CD Rom of the computer laptop but cannot get 'live', who still holds the DVD CD rom on its place.

Please let me know what I could do.

+ The message was edited: changed laptop model name +.

Hello

I assume that you have installed Win XP on this oldi.
Win XP and other systems such as Win Vista or Win 7 use the Microsoft CD/DVD driver and a STRANGE special drivers is therefore not necessary.
The ODD (optical disc) must be recognized by Win XP automatically without installation of any other drivers driver update is not necessary.

I recommend the removal of the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager, and then remove the upper and lower registry filters.

    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.

    Kind regards

    Hi mate

    I think that the portable player s (optical disc) DVD region is set in the United States and therefore you can not read the DVD released for the European market.

    To resolve this problem, you must change the option of DVD region 2 region.

    My computer-> drive CD / DVD-> properties-> Hardware tab-> choose the CD drive / DVD-> properties-> DVD region

    Notes; You can change this settings ONLY 4 times. After that the parameters is no longer editable.

  • Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned

    I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?

    Hello

    @Magnus:
    Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
    In addition, this burning program did you use?
    I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
    What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc.

  • My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop computer bed. PL advise solution. Thank you

    My laptop is Pressario V2000. My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop reads the same dvd. PL is the solution. Thank you

    Try another DVD to verify that your laptop can read at least the other DVD.  If he can't play other DVD's then you need to replace the DVD - CD ROM drive supplied with your Pressario.

    Another thing you can try is to check fingerprints or scratches on the DVD, some DVD players are more sensitive than others.

  • CD player does not read the series Satellite A recovery CD

    Hello

    I have a laptop my father gave to me and I need to restore it before using it for me because it works very slowly.
    I have the restore cd but I have problems with the cd player.
    It does not read some CDs, but it will not read the cd recovery so its as if it is not there.

    Is it possible to restore it without the cd? I'm not very super-friendly up with computers, so please simplify if possible.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Claire.

    You can try to boot from the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
    Check if this CD is readable.

    Then you can download the drivers from Toshiba from the European driver Toshiba page and could install the drivers

    A few words about the CD drive problem, it seems that the goal of readers can calibrate in the right position and therefore some CD or DVD is not readable
    In most cases, the CD/DVD drive should be replaced to solve these problems

  • Computer to read DVD - one message says that I can not read the DVD, except that I have installed a new driver.

    I have a new Toshiba C650 laptop, and he says that I can not read the dvd on it except that I have installed a new driver. Is this true?

    Hi Bill,

    To be honest, this sounds ridiculous but if you get a message, I suppose it could be possible even if I find it incredible.  Do you have it in a (local or online) retail store or Toshiba?  By any chance did you upgrade from the DVD player when buying (where they may have accidentally neglected to update the drivers of the drive that was originally installed)?

    As it is new, Toshiba should help you with this.  Here's the contact page: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/navShell.jsp?cf=su_contact&pf=true.  Give them everything they need to prove that buy you it and it should be under warranty and then give them the message Word for Word, that you have found.  They should be able to help you.  They can, for some reason I don't know, you don't need to help or guide you through a new driver installation.  I ask for a clear explanation of why this is necessary on a new computer and, if you are not satisfied with the response, ask them to consider that all the faulty computer and replace it.  Even if they won't, he needs the get them less motivated to solve your problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    CD/DVD players use different lasers to read CD DVD vs.  Eventually, your DVD laser has grilled.  It might be time to replace your CD/DVD drive.

    Make sure you use the correct serial number.  Quickly find your serial number

    If you do not disable the original installation, then it is possible that your two activations permits were used, and you need to reset your counter to activate.  For this you must contact the Adobe Support via chat and ask them to reset your activations.  If you ask for more than that they will tell you that they cannot offer you any support.

    Hello Saud

    I guess that your processor is in permanent use and it is possible that for a moment the screen freezes. N my opinion you should check in the Task Manager, applications and unnecessary processes running in the background. Try to stop the tem and thus reduce the CPU usage.
