The CD/DVD drive malfunction: one missing, the other does not work

My HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop running Vista, came with a CD/DVD drive that appeared as a reader of CD (e) and (f) HD DVD player, with the hard drive and windows repair partition C: and D:.  There, the E: drive seemed to have disappeared, and it is the reader who would access it when I put a CD to read from.  The HD player never worked to this end and of course now that I only have the "F:" drive, and it tells me to insert a disc, despite the fact that there is a disc in there.  And I have no idea of what I did.

I right click on the HD drive properties and go to the Hardware tab.  WDC (Buncha numbers) ATA device is listed as type of hard drives, and UTIHAX (even numbers) SCSI CdRom Device is listed as a DVD/CD-ROM drives drive (Yes, with the ').  Both work properly, according to the properties of the device.

I tried to disable and re-enable the it.  I tried to uninstall and allow the pilot to resettle.  Nothing doin ' sofar, so I was wondering if any of you have any other ideas I could try.

I'd love to hear them!  Let me know what you need.

Hello

Even if the conditions are slightly different the same cause may be at stake.

Do not forget to check with HP, their documentation online support and drivers and the HP
Forums for known issues.

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

http://www.myce.com/storage/

Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

  • Two entries in the list of printers MAC Applications - one prints wireless / the other does not work

    Just implement the 4630 and in the list of printers on the Applications, I have 4630 series and the 4630 [F4COCE].  Printed wireless and the other not.  I have the fax 4630 also but you have yet to try.  Why have I not two in the list of printers, and I would like to delete a?

    Hi BreezyP,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you have two printers on your Mac, and you wonder why. I'm happy to help with this problem!

    In my view, the second printer that does not print wireless, is the connected USB printer. If you unplug the USB cable connecting the two ends of the Mac and the printer, it should show offline.

    Regarding the deletion of a printer, it's a personal preference, if you do not use the USB cable at all, I would personally delete the one which is not wireless.

    The fax printer is used for the fax from Mac.

    Hope that answers your question and have a great day!

  • Accounts of Gmail 2 Smartphones blackBerry on my BB. One works, the other does not work why?

    I thought it was a matter of BlackBerry initially, but now not so sure. When I add another GMail account, it works very well - so the problem seems to be something wrong with my original Gmail account. However, I compared each visible setting between the two accounts and can find no difference!

    Here's the question: when I get a message on my Gmail account on the BB, notification indicators all work fine, but when I open the icon "envelope" it does not show the Inbox. It shows a folder named 'All messages' instead, and it is empty. The continuous unread message indicator show that I have a message but nothing is there. I realized that if I select 'filter' in the menu, and then select the Inbox, it will take me in the Inbox and the message is there. All goes well until I put down and the next message arrives. Same thing every time. It's as if the default view is somehow summer past "inbox" to "All messages" and I can't find any setting to fix it.

    Looked like a BB problem at the beginning, but I've sent books service, deleted the account of the BB rebooted, added the account back, still no change. When I tried to add another Gmail account, it worked fine. Went back and added the first account, same problem.

    It's embarrassing to admit, but I am a IT consultant and I'm working on things like this all day. I've never seen a problem like this before and I'm stumped. Does anyone know of a way to make Gmail account icon on the BlackBerry default in the folder "Inbox"? Or anyone knows what might be associated with a Gmail account, which could cause such behavior on a BB

    Thank you

    BlackBerry 9000 "BOLD" v5.0.0.1067 with enhanced Gmail plugin - the most recent version.

I've selected Yes and allowed him to restart. The message icon is still there after, but everything works fine now. If these problems similar witjh: do not reinstall the Gmail plugin... Just delete it.

  • CD drive does not open and the light does not work

    original title: single CD player problem

    The problem with my CD player seems to be unique I can't find an answer, or someone else with the same problem online.

    My computer is custom built, the CD player lasted me 1.5 years no problem, not until one day I realize, it does not open and the light does not work on it, I ordered a new drive and installed that one, still does not work. so, I replaced the SATA cable which connects to the motherboard, still does not.

    When I go to my computer the drive appears but when I right click > eject it says: "year error occurred while ejecting CD drive D".  It also appears in devices such as SCSI CdRom Device Manager but I am not sure if it's actually my CD player.

    I also tried troubleshooting http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems and no solution.

    WTFFF ideas? I really hope that its not the motherboard

    There are two cables you need to connect to the drive, one for data and one for power.  You must connect both training at work.  If you only have the data cable is plugged and not cable power which would be a possible cause of the problem that you see.

    "Ryanb1290" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

    Sorry, im just of knowledge about computer hardware.  you say that I should try a different agreement or another port to plug in?

    I tried to connect on a couple different SATA ports on the motherboard.

  • FN + F3 disable the Touchpad does not work. Dell XPS L702X

    Hello, I am new to this forum.

    The function FN + F3 that disable the Touchpad does not work, my laptop Dell XPS 17 (L702X)

    I googled my problem and the only thing I found was this: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19454265.aspx

    I think that my problems with the touchpad started when I plugged a mouse into the USB port. It didn't work (it worked well before), and in material-sound-mouse control panel, the system asked me to uninstall a driver or other. I do not remember, but later the mouse worked.

    After this weird thing with the mouse, I noticed that the touchpad was malfunctioning. While I write, the cursor moves without touching the touchpad, it is annoying because it makes me write bad because he is moving in the middle of writing, as I write so it's a mess.

    The second oddity, the Fn + F3 does not disable the touchpad, the orange light come on (the led on the top of the touchpad), but the cursor can be moved in any case, with or without a connected mouse.

    I checked for driver updates, perform an audit of the system, checked for viruses, spywares and I don't know what I could do. I don't know if the problem with the mouse had nothing to do with the function Fn + F3 problem.

    I have not formatted or re installed windows 7, never.

    In Device Manager I have this:

    -mouse and other pointing devices:-Compatible PS/2 mouse

    Help, please. Thank you.

    DOH! Problem between Chair and keyboard...

  • iPhone 5: objective of the camera does not work after update iOS 10

    Hello everyone.

    I swear to you that I have no idea how do... after a few weeks since the release of iOS 10, yesterday I force myself to be updated - the situation with iOS 9.3.2 became crash and unbearable lag every second. The fact is that I update, I like the system and use it for a few hours. Check the camera this morning, I see that the focus does not work. Now I also see AE / AF Lock, light changes whenever I tap on one side or the other, but not to focus. Not even close or far, nothing to do. I have not tried in the settings to do a full erase, I had no way to restore it since I do not have a backup.

    I tried to clean the lens - already cleaned, I tried to give him a few small nicks and follow the many guides online. I rebooted and everything done. Nothing has changed.

    The last photo was taken last night and has been developed. So I don't think it's a hardware problem and if so, how has it happened? A few hours ago the iPhone is fallen, but tell me if it makes sense. If it's a software problem, what could I do?

    I would avoid the assistance. It is a used iPhone, never jailbroken. I don't have a lot of confidence with the help, in 6 or 7 years he never went - iPhone always bought used and always worked very well.

    PS: I have no way to get into DFU, as iTunes does not see my iPhone. Up to iOS 9 that I had no problem even if I had enough of the device with the cable isn't original, but barely now lets load ("This accessory may not work").

    Hello

    I also have an iPhone 5 and I tested the question and mine is fine, how bad was the fall that you mentioned? Sometimes problems can come and go. Also try to reformulate your device.

    After this answer please.

    Thank you Will
