video DVD player does not

my dvd drive is not reading or writing

Hello

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

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

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

You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
drive from someone with the same model.

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

I hope this helps.

  • Recovery USB - stick (DVD player does not) Acer Aspire 7750 G

    Hello world

    My DVD player does not work for quit some time. This is no big problem for me, because one barely use it.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to burn recovery DVD. In my view, it has an option to do a recovery USB drive. It would be a great solution! Unfortunately I do not have the possibility to do so. Is this only possible for computers without an optical drive? Is it possible to download the program with the option to use a USB - stick as in the YouTube video?

    Hello

    There are two possible reasons why you are not able to copy anything to the CD or DVD.

    First, it may be possible that the drives used are not entirely compatible.
    In such cases, it s always advisable to test different CD and DVD from different manufacturers.

    Secondly, the issue could be related to a defective laser lens; in many cases, this can happen because of a physical constraint. If the laser lens can not calibrate in a good position, then the player will not be able to handle the inserted discs.
    This could be the worst case, because this issue is not repairable. Just a STRANGE replacement could help.

  • Satellite A500 - video/dvd player is not compatible with Windows 10

    After having recently updated of my laptop for windows 10 I discovered that the dvd player does not work. A message is displayed informing that the player is not compatible with this version of windows. A scan using Norton suggests dvd will not work because it needs to be configured.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Obviously, Toshiba DVD playback application that is preinstalled on this Satellite A500 model is not compatible with the system Windows 10.

    In this case this software will not properly work after the upgrade to win 10 and I guess you have to remove the system Win 10.

    Unfortunately, the Satellite A500 is not listed as Win 10 portable computers and so I don't think you will get an update to this software for DVD playback.

    Here is a list of models supported for upgrading to Windows 10

    I hope someone can help me.
    My DVD player does not open when I click on the button.

    I tried clicking on eject on the DVD drive icon in my computer and it comes up with an error message.
    I think I deleted the cookies the other day. Who would have something to do with the problem?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated that I really don't want to send my phone to a technician.

    Hello

    Try to manually open the CD/DVD drive.
    Near the eject button, you will find a small hole.

    You can use a small object like staple and could push gently into this hole.

    Usually, this should help to open the drive manually.

  • Tecra M4 - DVD player does not recognize discs in Vista

    After the installation of Vista my dvd player does not recognize discs!
    No update XP! It was a clean install of Vista.

    I found several links on the upper filter and lower registry entries this entry does not exist in my registry under the CDROM class.

    I tried the XP disk it works fine and recognizes all.
    Drivers are installed correctly no problem in Device Manager is invited.

    So I have no idea how to run it, seems to be a Vista problem

    Could someone help me? I am really frustrated to this topic

    Thanks for your help

    Maybe this helps:

    -Remove the drive from Device Manager CD/DVD.
    -Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    -Reboot the laptop

    My '' integrated '' DVD player does not read the disc (DVD, BluRay, any region code), but it ejects after a small delay of about 1 to 2 minutes.  Is there a diagnostic software to find the problem?

    Your Super Drive never read blu ray and probably did not. Try a cleaning disc. Try resetting the memory NVRAM How to reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support and SMC reset management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    Finally buy and inexpensive external optical drive, but not apples Super USB drive because it does not work with your Mac.

  • Satellite P25-S520 - DVD player does not work properly

    Difficulty of DVD player or buy the external drive

    My DVD player does not work properly, in fact it can never work properly. Recently, I tried to back up my PC on a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize that the DVD was present. Then I tried to write a text file on a DVD and was a failure. DVD + R and DVD-R media were found to be (Maxwell 16 X).

    I could have probably lived with this however, I received a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my laptop nearby and it was recognized.

    An attempt to update the driver has also fails.

    I was able to copy a CD of music last night so that at least works properly.

    Does anyone know how can I fix? The important part is to be able to load my new program.

    Research on some forums I found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive can't be fixed, I'm not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately, where I live there is no brick and mortar stores selling external drives and I prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can someone suggest an external USB drive that will read and write CD and DVD and is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?

    Thanks for any help,

    Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.

    However, you won't be able to boot from CD (run recovery for example) If you are using an external drive.

    So, your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and request a quote.

  • Satellite A100-447 - DVD player does not read some discs

    Hello

    I have a 4 month old Satellite 100-447 (PSAAN), came preloaded with Vista Home Premium and a carpet * CD/DVD super-multi UJ-850 s player.

    The DVD player does not work properly. It will recognize a few blank, but never DVD-R DVD and won't recognise any DVD at all serious. He is very good with CD and DVD movie discs. It's just recordable DVD where there is a problem.

    Also when you try to write to a DVD, when he chooses to recognize a TI-error in half way through.

    What can I do?

    Hello

    You can do the follwowing:

    Go to this website http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp,

    Download the latest update of the firmware for this drive, install it, and then try again.

    Sometimes, the manufacturer must update their readers for the newer recordable media and so I think that it is possible that your drive is simply not up to date.
