Tecra S2: CD/DVD-ROM cannot read CD more

My operating system is Windows XP
When I put a CD the orange led start blinking and after a minute, he lights turn orange, and if I open the my computer-> DVD - RAM, it's a vacuum!

With the DVD, so good!
Thank you for your time

Hello

Sounds like a problem with the hardware of the CD/DVD drive. Maybe the laser lens can not calibrate in the right position and cannot handle the reading and/or writing of CD.

Such a hardware problem is not repairable and only the replacement of the device could help solve this problem.

But wait you are trying to remove the drive from Device Manager?
Try to do it. After restarting again the OS must initialize and recognizes the CD/DVD drive again.
Then try to use the CD.

    First of all, download your correct terminology.  DVD-ROM (or CD-ROM) is the types of compact discs for read-only.  What you have is a 'internal 20 X Super multi DVD Writer'.

    DVD/CD burners use lasers for CD and DVD.  It is not rare to fail in front of the other.  Otherwise said, simply because your device can read and write DVDs does not mean that it always can read and write CD.

    I have no idea what means "do a reboot on" a CD/DVD burner, whether or not you use the Device Manager.  However, for later use, you can get to the Device Manager at least one of the following ways:

    • Right-click "My computer" and select Properties; Click on the "Hardware" tab Click the 'Device Manager '.
    • Press the 'Windows' key and the 'Pause' key at the same time; Click on the "Hardware" tab Click the 'Device Manager' button (of course only works for keyboards with a "Windows" key)
    • Start > Control Panel > system [or, if you use the 'Category' of the control panel view, "Performance and Maintenance" and then "System"]; Click on the "Hardware" tab Click on "Device Manager".

    I don't know where you buy hardware in ounces, but in general, a replacement CD/DVD burner doesn't have to be expensive.  In the United States, for example,that NewEgg resembles a replacement close enough to what you have for US$ 22.  Be aware that your current device uses an IDE interface rather than the more recent (and now more common) SATA interface.

  • My CD/DVD drive cannot read or write media.

    I get a message to insert a disc, but it is already in it.   When I reinsert the disc, I get the same message.

    Hello

    Looks like the drive has a problem, possibly a cleaning disc might help if he and the
    below are questionable solutions to what sounds like a hardware problem.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  • Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

    Hello

    The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

    Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

    Hi Richard,

    I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

    According to this statement you must have installed Windows XP SP3 home edition.

    Your ad is a bit confusing to me. You have a problem with the functionality of DVD - RAM or optical disc drive cannot read all drives (different CD, DVD, DVD - R formats. DVD + R and so on)?

    I put t know what is the problem with the optical disc drive, but way generally, an installation of software packages has nothing to do with ODD when you use it as first boot device.

  • Satellite U300 - CD/DVD drive cannot read disks

    My CD/DVD drive does not work.

    It can be heard at work (or maybe working), but it cannot read the discs - music films or niether. The 'properties', says the disk is full, but can not read the contents. Neither is it give details of the content.

    If I run iTunes or Real Player, suffice to say it is a blank disc in the drive and told me to get ready to burn to a disc. But in his own info says that the disc is full! Windows XP sees the drive in 'Properties' and said that it is complete, but does not display the contents of the disc. Devices, said the drive (type HL-DT-STDVDRAM GSA-U10N) "working properly".

    I have turned off the HDD (software protection movement) protection because he stirs a warning whenever the unit darn picked. I tried to use the drive with it on and outside. My computer is 18 months old (I think), but this problem has existed for a year and gets more and more frustrating.

    Help please.

  • CD/DVD Rom drive reads the DVD as blank disc?

    Looked for information on the subject the whole place and it feels like I'm the only one who has this problem.

    The CD/DVD-Rom drive in my HP laptop is not reading the data on my DVD or CD I DVD that have been burned on a computer and some other that I burned on this drive. Data on them that I've used them in the past and without any problem. I changed nothing on my computer since the last time I used them I can think of and I have all the latest software updates for Vista and HP.

    Now when I put in drive it takes about a minute and then gets up and tells me that the disc is empty, but I know it's NOT like I've used it before and I see on the underside of the drive it was burned.

    Is this a problem of software or a hardware problem or disk I have not tried a lot of things that just the standard checks to try to get the drive to run but without success. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Phil.

    Hello PhilStokes,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    Sorry, you have a problem with this issue.  I would first go to Device Manager to verify that all drivers are up-to-date.

    Go to start-> Type ' Device Manager "" in the search field-> select Device Manager '->, select here (+) for the CD/DVD - rom-> This will fall to the bottom of your device-> next right-click on the device and select update. "

    If not chance or driver is already updated, return to Device Manager and right click on your device and select uninstall.  You may be prompted to restart, anyway go back to Device Manager and right click again and select install or update.

    Please let us know status.  Thank you! Engineer James Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
