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.

    I have a Toshiba M30X with combi DVD/CDRW drive.
    I have accumulated 12 GB of digital photo I wanted to erase but do not want the number of CDs that can be the so I bought an external DVD LITEON EZ - DUB and made 3 DVD - R burner of plenty of JPEG.

    It makes no difference what software was used (Nero 6.6) and LITEON EZDUB and it's okay if the discs are completed, a single session, multi session or what - it will not play any of them.

    Hello

    Well, I can only make suggestions.
    You are able to place files many MP3 and Jpeg on DVD.
    This is perhaps a reason why Explorer cannot handle the DVD.

    Try to burn the DVD with photo JEPG, but do not have the full DVD with these files.
    You must leave a free space on the media. Maybe it helps.

    But it's very strange for me and it's just a suggestion. I've never tired it and don't know if it helps.
    I had a similar problem on my laptop but I solved using compatible media. Some readers prefer different media for different types of files.

    Hello, tyINtrouble

    The device is listed as a DVD player?

    You can check by clicking on start, click computer, and to check the label of the hard drive, he may mention DVD or DVD - RW etc.

    You can also check your connections are secure.

    If possible, you can try to test the drive in another machine, or another drive in your computer to see if it works properly.

    If your hard drive and DVD/CD player are on the same parallel cable connection, it can cause problems as well.

    We can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • 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.

  • New CS6 disk will not read the DVD ROM

    I got CS6 on my laptop when I had WIN Vista, ive recently went to WIN 7 and I try to re install CS6, but now my dvd rom wont read any of the 3 discs of CS6. Ive tried a music disk and it reads that I see any scratches on any of the 3-disc accompanying the CS6.

    I really don't think it's disks that play to the top, when I installed first CS6 they went from the cover to the right dvdrom in the covers.  No errors come at all. I put the disc, the computer thinks for a few seconds then nothing.

    Any ideas?

    Have you tried to read what's on the disc to see if you can find the files that start the installation process?

    Rather than using disks is to download the trial version and use, serial number you havce records to activate.  Here are some links for downloading...

    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
