Satellite M60-155: drive does not recognize DVD

The multidrive on my laptop does not recognize DVD-he just turns and clicks.

It recognizes the CD tho. I've had this problem before, but did not pick up the CD player and it plays DVDs.
I managed to solve this last time, but I do not remember how.

Any ideas?

Hello

Don't you remember how you solved the problem? ?:|
Hmm, very strange.
However, I think that it s a problem of calibration of lens of the drive.
The lens can not be calibrated properly and that's why the drive cannot read the media.

Have you tried to remove the drive from the laptop? If this is not the case, try to remove it. Then start without the drive. Then shut off the unit. Reinstall the drive and start the laptop. The firmware should take over again and maybe the lens is calibrated in the right position.

You can also try to clean the lens gently. But if the whole points will not help you may need to replace the drive

  • My DVD drive does not recognize DVD game discs.

    My NEC ND-4550-reader DVD - RW does not recognize DVD game discs.

    This would be a matter of software protection?
    All tried game DVDs are official records and not copies.
    The NEC ND-4550 uses cdrom.sys as pilot.

    Finally, I replaced the drive for a new one (Pioneer DVR-S18L) and everything now works as it should.
    So I suspect that it's a hardware problem and not one that can be resolved by any of the Windows settings.

  • CD DVD drive does not recognize DVD

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5202 in a 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 environment, recently, my DVD burner has the following problems:

    (1) it could read/burn in a CDROM which is equal to or less than the capacity of 700 MB.

    (2) the player can get out of its case, it works properly when I press the button, or you click "Eject" in Windows Explorer.

    (3) he could not recognize 4.7 GB DVDs, this pop-up message "Please insert a disc into drive D".

    (4) when I insert a new blank DVD 4.7 GB disc in the drive, it will appear a dialog as messages below:

    DVD RW Drive (D :)

    (1) burn files to disc

    (2) burn a DVD video disc.

    Select either (1) or (2), it can only fill 90% and it has stopped working.

    I tried to solve the problem of DVD writer is not installed in the Device Manager and restart the computer, it can then read for a few hours, when I tried to burn a DVD, it has stopped working. I uninstalled DVD burner and restart again, this time couldn't even read.

    I tried to download the latest driver for DVD without a bit of luck, can anyone help?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • My DVD drive does not recognize DVD-R/DVD-RW Virgin

    Hello! My computer model laptop lenovo's G460

    and here's my name of dvd drive: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N. I use Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 bit.

    ROM cannot read any DVD-r Virgin it can actually work; CDs and DVDs (movies, music, etc.), detect and writes CD Virgin-Rs., but not a DVD-r virgins. It cannot detect even when I inserted the CD in the Republic of Montenegro.

    Any ideas what to do? Or what is the problem?

    a last step if this does not work, try to run windows own installation because some applications may affect your device.

    Otherwise, contact lenovo support

    Edit: this marker is as resolved.

  • Satellite L40 - 15G - BIOS does not recognize DVD drive

    Hello, I have a L40 - 15 g doesn t seem to show the driver on the BIOS.
    Tried a pioneer dvr-k17tbt (original)?
    a GSA - T40N H - L
    a Sony DW-P50A
    No shows on BIOS.

    I've reset CMOS, BIOS update, nothing works
    All readers Don t show on windows as well, but they have the power (light and work button)
    What should do?

    Hey Buddy,

    What is the original drive and where you have ordered the new CD/DVD readers?
    Have you checked if there is a jumper for master/slave definition? If so try with the master and slave.

    The problem is that not all readers are compatible for all laptops. If you don't know which drive is just ask a maintainer approved assistance.

  • Satellite A205: Vista & BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

    After a crash of the sudden family Vista system premium on a Toshiba Satellite A205 the system does not recognize the DVD CD - RW drive. Neither in Explorer, Device Manager, nor BIOS.

    Laptop is only a few months old.
    Have you tried the Toshiba check system - it ignores DVD disk check.
    Tried Windows Update - does not help.
    Tried registry fix - does not help.

    Cannot use the CD to reinstall all drivers - because it is not recognized.
    The DVD drive LED is on. If the disk looks ok physically.

    Does anyone have an idea what to do?

    Very strange what s
    Try this:

    Access the BIOS and set the default settings and save the changes.
    If it doesn't help then I put t see any other possibilities for contact ASP in your country for a CD/DVD drive control and possibly a replacement

    You said that the notebook is only several months old so I assume that the warranty is still valid and that's why everything has to be done for free

  • drive does not recognize CD - R

    I have a HP Pavilion m8067c. Vista ultimate 32-bit, Roxio creator 2010. My dvd Lightscribe supermulti drive does not recognize CD - R discs. It will be label a lightscribe disc but ask to install a recordable disk with a new disk in the drive. DVD - r works fine. It started by not to recognize some CD, but now it doesn't recognize none. I check the properties and it shows the disc are full. If I try to format the drive, it gives the message that the disk is write protected. I tried to uninstall the driver and restart but still the same.

    Hello res04n70, it is possible the CD laser has become defective or even dirty, since you mentioned, he began to act gradually upward. The DVD has a separate laser. This may explain why the DVD works as it should.

    Ypu can consider replacing the DVD drive, because they are pretty cheap now. Some brand DVD players can be purchased for less than $20.00 USD.

    Here a link to NewEgg is where some of these players can be found.

    Just some thoughts.

  • External CD drive does not recognize the CD burned on El Capitan.

    Using El Capitan 10.11.5 and an external hard drive, I have burned successfully mp3 files iTunes CD - I can play on the computer itself - but an external CD drive does not recognize, even if the Player recognizes the discs once engraved on Snow Leopard and previous models.  What's wrong? I burn "at the fastest possible speed," as I have always done.

    What CD format?  If you burn it to a CD mp3 this is not very common for a standard CD player to be able to read those.  You may have burnt the other CD audio CD format.

  • Satellite A200 27z does not recognize DVD drive

    Hello

    Ive got the computer laptop toshiba Satellite A200 27z & a while a go it wouldn't turn on at all, I took it to a computer repair shop & they seemed to solve the problem, except that they delete all the "stuff" that comes with the laptop.

    On the most part, he always does things I want to do. But recently I went to play a dvd in there & it won't work, even if it does not play DVD if theyre sent to me by msn etc.

    Normally, when I put a dvd, toshiba dvd player would automatically right away, but now he used. When I go to manually open the dvd player toshiba a message just ups saying:

    * the specific drive is not found. Check the settings by going to settings > stock settings > source. or otherwise check that the disc has been correctly connected to the levels

    Ive been in the "action settings", but the source area is blocked (do not type anything in it). I don't know much about computers and so do not know how to check if the drive is properly connected.

    It will not also recognize when I put a cd that he either, as normally if I put a cd in and then itunes would automatically load upward, now itunes will not appear if a cd is in the laptop & I can't find it anywhere.

    can help someone, I have no idea about these things!

    I had this problem a few months ago, I thought that I should send it to be repaired but Windows Mr Fixit made and my dvd player is running again

  • Satellite L50D-B - faulty DVD drive does not recognize discs

    Bought 2 months ago. The reader agrees not the CD, DVD or anything like that.
    The name of the drive does not appear on the disc and if you double click on the DVD drive icon (even if a disc is inserted) the drawer opens and says please insert a disk. I tried several discs are not the issue.

    So far I got technical support where I bought it.
    They said to do a reinstall I did - with the full drive clean. I tried to update the drivers, but the computer insists on the fact that they are later. If I search my model number on the site of Toshiba driver support he gets rejected, and I have no access to (Toshiba) drivers.

    I checked a few other forums and tried the regedit fix, but which is also irrelevant. If no solution is found (and I've lost hours of my life on this subject) then this laptop is going back for a refund and I'll get one who will perform the simple task of playing a DVD.

    Hello

    Sorry to hear that you have such a stupid problem with your machine. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    In my opinion you should not waste your time checking and search for some drivers who probably will not help at all.

    Reinstall the original operating system that you have with your machine and test functionality with the factory settings. If the result is the same contact your reseller or Toshiba service provider directly and ask for help. They can check ODD and Exchange if necessary.

  • Satellite C650-1CP - does not recognize DVD

    Hello uncleben,.

    Maybe the DVDs are scratched... Have you tried different types of DVD and you are sure that the drives are ok?

    You can also try to remove the server - and lowerfilters in the registry. So follow the instructions in this Microsoft article:
