  Hi, Bérard

  So I have a problem with cd/dvd rom drive.
  After that I updated with the last computer driversmy, the player can not open:(j'ai fais redémarre et c'est le même...) When I press the drive button to open, it flashes orange led for two or three times and nothing happens, the drive is always busy.

  Before reinstalling with the old windows version of the drivers worked well, but that sometimes it did not work... and now it's doing nothing all the time.

  Is my windows 7 x 64, updated drivers to update yesterday. Can someone help me?

  Hello

  You can find a small hole near the CD/DVD to eject the drive.

  Put a small card or PIN in this hole and the CD/DVD drive should eject manually.

  In my case, it always helps.

  Hi sergeblache,

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you are facing problems to use the DVD drive to read and write disks, we try these steps and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  Given that you've tried the Fixit and relocation of the reader, you can read the article and try manual steps to change the upper and lower filters in the registry settings. Check if this may help:

  Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

  Important: The article mentioned above shows you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  For more information, see the article:

  Back up the registry

  Method 2:

  If you have installed a third-party DVD burning software, then Uninstall the same and look for the question.

  If you need further assistance, please answer and we will be happy to help you.

  I can't open 14 items installation file from the CD/DVD drive shared on my iMac to my MacBook Air.  I'm getting "can't open the application 'Install' because it may be damaged or incomplete."  The drive is new and I have installed and registered on the iMac smoothly with Adobe.

• After dismantling Satellite A60 cannot detect the CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  I opened my laptop to clean-up and it was the first time that I never opened a laptop. Messed up at the opening of the cd/dvd drive.
  Instead of just pulling out, I started its opening screw but quickly realized that this is not the right way. So I took it out. Rest of the disassembly procedure went well and I assembled it back but he little silver r 2 bands and a small source, which I'm sure that belongs to the CD player and I couldn't adapt it.
  And I don't know how it fits.
  The computer does not detect the drive. Although I can open it by clicking on the Open button, then he hang out by sharp object. (The light will blink showing the power exists in)

  The second thing is the microphone. I've never used until last week, but my voice is going through. The system does not detect any microphone.

  Help appreciated

  Hello

  On this path, it is not easy to say what is the problem with CD/DVD player. Are there signs of the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager or the drive is not displayed in Windows Explorer?

  How did you test mic? Try it with the tape recorder for windows. So you can test the functionality of the mic on the easiest way.

• Satellite 5205-s705: How can I boot from the CD/DVD drive

  I can't run Setup from my cd/dvd rom, there is no such option in the BIOS Setup. How can I boot from the cD or DVD?
  Please, help me!

  Hello

  You are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
  If you are unable to change the boot order in the BIOS, I would advise you by pressing the F12 key immediately after starting the laptop.
  A start menu should appear, then you should be able to choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD).

  You can also try clicking on the C instead of the F12 button. The C button the STRANGE start.

  Check this back and forth!

• Equium L20: How to use the recovery CD if the CD/DVD drive is faulty?

  Hello

  I have an Equium L20 at the mo and unfortunately the CD/DVD drive is damaged and is no longer works (I can't even open the drawer), and I can't start up.

  Of course, I can't start the recovery CD is if there is another solution? I tried to create a bootable USB but I can't make it work, whenever I ask the bios to run it it runs as if it is a hard drive and says "operating system not found '. I reached the end of my train of thought so any help would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  Hi Tom

  You want to use your laptop with defective CD/DVD drive all the time? Why you don't want to trade the player and all your problems will be gone. The drive cannot be expensive and I am sure that you can exchange it only.

• Pavilion dv7 cannot recognize the CD/DVD drive, no help support "assistant".

  Subject says it all.  Since I got this machine, it had problems when the CD/DVD drive becomes invisible and are not accessible by any means.  A reboot has solved in the past, but now, it doesn't seem to work more.  I would like to reinstall the drivers, but guess what, I don't know what kind of player, it is (funny how that works), and Support 'Assistant' is apparently ihcapable to understand the model of this Pavilion dv7 ("product name: loading...") ("now until the heat death of the universe), which does not help either.  Anyone has a better idea than just blindly install the drivers?

  Hello

  Drivers for CD/DVD drives comes with Windows (IE with the operating system - it is not the drivers you need to download).  The driver is located in C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\cdrom.sys.

  First, try the automated Microsoft fixit at the link below.

  Windows 7

  Vista

  Check if the drive works now.

  If the drive does not, in the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.  Right-click on the first channel and select uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When uninstalled repeat the process for each channel.  Also, if an ATA controller is listed, right click and uninstall it, once again is not removing the drivers if requested. Then, open the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives.  Make a right click the drive (if it shows!) and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.

  Restart the computer and let Windows reinstall devices.  Check the disc again.

  If it still does not work, re-run the fixit automated Microsoft at the link below.

  Windows 7

  Vista

  Then, in the Start Menu, open Control Panel and click Device Manager.  Click to open the CD/DVD-ROM drives.  Right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.  Do not delete if requested drivers.  When the device has been uninstalled click the icon 'Search for hardware changes' (usually just below help in the toolbar).  Let windows reinstall the disc and see if it works now.

• Cannot get the cd/dvd driver for CD playback

  Hiya

  Earlier this year, my laptop has been infected by viruses, malware, etc. I used the program Spyware Doctor to remove any infections, but so many files and programs are removed.

  On the Device Manager CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver TSSTcorp DVD +-RW TS - L632H ATA Device ended up having a typical yellow mark next to it and the cd player would not read cds or dvds. Somehow however his custom 'fixed' itself, but always play all discs.

  Light to the factory side, it opens and closes, and when a cd is put in it sounds as if its going to do something, but after a few seconds only stops and don't open the program or recognize the drive. I read through many responses of forum and things like delete upper and lower filters do not work as they are already not.

  Advice or answers will be very appreciated!

• Computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

  For these last days, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD drive.  I have tried everything - publishers of registry, check the physical connections inside the computer, the system restore and install Fix - It programs.  However, the computer does not recognize this drive.  I also wonder if it is a hardware problem.  The light on the drive is a constant in green, and does not have the Open button.  And when I use the bent-paper-clip-in-the-little-hole and can open the drive, it will not read the disc.  Please advise...

  I fixed my problem with the BIOS operating system & not recognizing not not my DVD player to reinvest the solder on the motherboard.  You can find instructions on how to do it here: http://www.computerrepairtips.net/how-to-reflow-a-laptop-motherboard/

  There was a little crazy with my video drivers when I started first, but everything works after resetting the BIOS by default.

  I watch the DVD yesterday and he played upward halfway through and almost jerky. Ejected and thought no more of him now, the player will not recognize any disc, be it video or sound. I tried a system restore but still the same thing that it is not read disks. Any help appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi quietly,

  If your CD/DVD drive doesn't work, how do you have a system restore?

  Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager correctly or you see a yellow exclamation mark on it?

  Maybe the lens is dirty and must be cleaned with a Microfiber cloth. Open try CD/DVD and try to clean the lens with a clean Microfiber cloth.

• Sdatellite M100 does not recognize the CD/DVD drive in Windows XP

  It is listed in the Device Manager, but with a yellow explanation mark.
  No mention of this in my computer.
  No icon.

  I am able to open the drawer and I put several types of cd/DVD in them without any result.
  The light flashes in orange on the door. The drive is listed as "Mat * advd-ram uj - 841 s-(sm)" in the bios under boot devices.

  I'm trying to figure out how to remove the drive and reconnect but it seems that I have to disassemble the thing to do and hesitate without a diagram.

  It is only a user guide in the downloads on this site so any help is appreciated: 0)

  Oh, I also downloaded the driver from this site for the drie. Before that, I uninstalled the drive in Device Manager, but there was no change when I installed the downloaded driver.

  Simply using a Ubuntu Linux live cd and it is running.
  Unfortunately its going to be hard to know for sure what the problem in this way because I don't want to install ubuntu on this machine it is someone elses machine and they are far from would you like to try linux.

  I'm in a live session now.
  Ah ok when I go in the media folder there is no mention of the cd/dvd drive.

  It is really a problem unless I can unplug physically the Mo and reconnect: 0 (Oh wait here it... is under 'cdrom' folder ' but only files with a relevance to the side by side with windows installation are mentioned... exe files, wubi etc..)

  Ah ok that's beyond my experience.
  Can someone give this amateur a tip?

  First remove the player of ODD (CD/DVD) from the list in Device Manager.
  Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ FAT32\ CurrentControlSet \ Control\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Finally, you must restart the device.

  Once again, windows will recognize the STRANGE
