• 500 GB external HARD drive no longer works

  someone please help.

  About 3 months ago I bought a hard drive of PC world 500GBexternal (not sure of the model number, this is money, with external power supply, USB cable A B, very bright blue light on the front, about 60 pounds). I used it regularly both with my PS3 and my Toshiba Vista laptop.

  Suddenly it has stopped working. The blue light is on, and noise workout like its spinning but when I plug my devices nothing don't recognize. I tried with the laptop, PS3 and IMAC. Blue light beeps when you plug it into the USB port but that's all. The device don't can't see it!

  I tried a new USB cable, but it made no difference

  Please help me. I've got the years worth of photos, music and movies out there that I can't lose!

  Thank you
  Simon

  Hi Simon,.

  You have only stored the data on that HARD disk? Normally all files must be stored on a second disc, otherwise it s not a backup! ;)

  Anyway, you can see the external drive in Windows disk management?
  The external HARD drive is always turn vertically?

  At the moment it sounds like it's HARD drive is defective and must be replaced :(

• TOSHIBA external drive works only with Macbook

  Hello

  I have a 1 TB external drive that I used on my 2007 Macbook without problem until recently when he decided suddenly stop working. Nothing has been changed in the Macbook, I read in some places that there is a problem with enough power of drawing from the usb port to power the player, but have you tried going through a usb port and using a longer replacement cable...

  All advice welcome!

  Thank you

  The question is: is this just a problem of USB connection or maybe the HARD drive starts to crime

  I mean, early or late each HARD drive is going to die, and it's just a matter of time and usage of HARD drive

  I recommend you to connect this drive external DRIVE on another computer just to check if it will recognize

  but to be honest, the question smells like a hardware malfunction.

• my external hard drive no longer works

  I have a Toshiba external hard drive (320 GB) and the FAT32 format. It was working fine but all of a sudden it was not as hard drive Toshiba but Local disk: F and it says I need to format it. What should I do? I want to backup my files :(

  There is probably nothing you can do.  Hard drives break down.  Actually, let me rephrase: all the hard disks fail.  It's just a matter of time. That is why the only safe way to keep your data is back it upward.

  If you do not have a backup, you will need to contact a data recovery service and see if they can restore the data.  However, these services are not guaranteed and very expensive (hundreds of thousands of dollars).

• External USB floppy drive no longer works

  I have a model #: p6710f computer from HP running Windows 7 desktop.

  I myself bought an external Bytecc USB Portable diskette (Floppy) disk. Although it did not work initially, it began to work a week later after some updates on my computer running. The work of at least a year since then diskette drive.

  Now the last month, the floppy drive does not show in the list where you can find the C drive or the D drive. You can hear the floppy drive respond when it is first plugged in, but it does not show on the screen which you access.

  Is there anyone who is able to understand why the floppy USB drive won't work with my computer? What should I do to solve the problem?

  Thank you for your response. Uninstalling the driver, restart the computer, and then reinstall the process... I had already tried this a few days ago. Although the computer recognizes drive as new hardware and load the driver, I was not yet able to access the disk. But here's the strange thing...

  My office is where I got this problem. Yesterday, I connect the floppy drive for my laptop for the first time. The laptop recognized as new hardware and load the driver. I was able to use the floppy drive on the laptop. Out of curiosity, I disconnect the floppy (USB connection) of the laptop drive and reconnect to the desktop computer. The Office has recognized as new hardware and load the driver. I am now able to use the floppy drive on the desktop. Weird that it is... my question to get the floppy drive on the Office to work is now resolved.

• Portege R500 - CD/DVD drive no longer works

  Does anyone found a resolution to this?

  Like David, my DVD Multidrive on my R500 abruptly arrested recently - I can open/close the player, but he does not appear in Windows Explorer as a disk is valid. Do not think that I have nothing installed on the machine.

  Interestingly, I never really use the DVD player. Indeed, because of all the * heat * questions, I used to "Power Off" of the device, via the DVD icon in the system tray (i.e. option enabled me to Power on / off the unit). So while the power was OFF, it's cold the machine, and so the fan was rarely on.

  Now that my computer no longer recognizes the drive, this icon it simply shows that disabled, no possibility to the power on/off switch, and this noisy fan is almost always on. In addition, because it seems that the machine tries to recognize the drive subject time at startup, all re-start, reboot the machine now takes a few minutes to start...

  For the optical drive firmware update help? Or is there some other fix?

  Hello

  > but my Portege R500 CD/DVD drive has stopped working the next day, I had attached an external CD - RW drive for me to burn discs. Maybe it did disable my built-in drive?
  This could be the key;
  Try to access the Device Manager and remove the CD/DVD player listed and all USB host controllers and USB root hub.

  Again, restart the laptop.
  After new check restart if the CD/DVD drive has been recognized again.

• DVD drive no longer works and disappears from MS explore

  New "TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C ATA Device" Samsung dvd player is visible in Windows Explorer after starting the machine.  He can see an audio CD.  However, when a DVD is inserted it reads very slowly, then stops and the drive is no longer visible in Windows Explorer.

  Hello

  For a new disk that should really be fixed/replaced under warranty.

  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.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  You can try these but it seems that the drive has 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.

• External microphone no longer works

  Number and name of the product
  HP Pavilion Notebook PC, LS303EA #AB9 g6

  Operating system installed
  Windows 7 SP1 x 64

   

  
  The axis of the external microphone suddenly stopped working, worked perfect until after the update of the latest major application installations.

  Checked the sound devices, external line is displayed as installed butrecognizes no sounds, attempt of drivers updated but no new drivers.

   

   

  Audio specification (according to HP support request):

  -IDT high definition audio CODEC (stwrt64.sys), version 6.10.6324.0

  -Intel (R) display Audio (IntcDAud.sys), version 6.14.0.3074

   

  PS. : internal microphone still works, also the connected microphone still works on the other computer

  Hey coolasc,

  If you have a lot of updates come through, you want to make sure that the BIOS is one of them.

  BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System/Service. It is the language that all the hardware components of your computer use to communicate with each other. There are updates coming out from time to time for this and it would be better to have the latest version. The following steps have been taken from here.

  1. Windows 8: from the home screen, type "msinfo32". Click msinfo32 in the list of results.

  Windows 7 & Vista: click the Start button, type "msinfo32". In the list of results, click msinfo32.exe.

  1. Subject to halfway down on the right, look for the Version of the BIOS/Date.

  3. copy and paste the information to the right of the Version of the BIOS/Date in the value column, in your answer.

  The latest version on the Page of Drive HP laptop your particular is F.66. It could be that a lot of other than the BIOS updates came through and just BIOS didn't cross quite yet (if this is the case, it would be nice to manually install the latest version). If you have a version higher than F.66 by chance, return to F.66 just download and install it.

  The BIOS being outdated or just not synchronized with other updates that came through, would certainly provoke a question like that.

  Please let me know if you have any questions or if these suggestions helped (it could help other people with the same problem). I'll keep an eye out for your answer!
