Why my brandnew L10-193 reads DVD but NO CD?
Technical support of the company, I bought the laptop said "is not possible", but it is a fact. My laptop computer simlpy does not read the CDroms, although he has no problem to read the DVD. I use Windows XP. Is this a technical fault?
Moreover, it took me about 30 minutes to register to participate in this forum... through the record-more-registration line. very bureaucratic.

Hello
First of all, I don t find that this forum or the connection process is bureaucratic.
For me, it was very simple and short login procedure.
But now something on your disk in question:
Did you test the drive with diffΘrents CDs? Audio, data, etc.
But nevertheless, try to remove the drive from Device Manager. After the reboot, the operating system should recognize the drive again. If after this procedure, the drive will not read the CD in my opinion so there's a problem of lens calibration. I put t know why it happened, but the unit is under warranty. In this case the replacement drive will be free.

ATAPI DVD A DH16AYH ATA Device read DVD but not CD
Engraver of CD/DVD in Compaq Presario 5010NX w / VistaBasic read any DVD but has problems with CD if I insert a music CD, sometimes it will open right and I can play music. Most of the time he just tells me to "insert a disc", usually open the status bar, but not always. If I close the drawer [or eject and close the tray] from 3 to 15 times, he finally opens the CD. Generally. Sometimes I drop and open it on my old computer Millennium, [which never fails to open the CD]. I bought a cleaning disc, but it still happens. Also, it stopped opening the tray with the manual key (1,200 works tent) and will always open with 'Eject' of the computer, but only with DVD and sometimes will open with the "eject" computer with the CD never if it is empty, so I always keep a known disc "opener" in the status bar. (if I forgot, I use a paper clip)
I did an online search of the Device Manager for a driver update and he told me that the best software is already installed. I just need a new burner? Why is - that it will work with DVD CD not? driving me crazy. Thank you ps can not find a burner mfgr. says simply "drive SuperMulti DVD with Lightscribe" - pps I tried uninstalling the Device Manager, and then restart the computer - no change. Haven't tried the support.microsoft.com/gp/cd_dvd_drive_problems diagnostic program no solution I came across a post from someone else who had the same problem [former position & 'uninstall & reboot' was the only suggestion on this one.] I can't believe that it could be physical burner... why he wouldn't hesitate to read the DVD if it was a physical problem? Help?

Readers to use and this intermittent problem can be caused by wear.
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.Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.
Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.
CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.Several good info here:

DVD - RW DVR-K17LF for the Satellite series does not read DVD but only to CD
Hello
I have a serious problem with my DVD player.
He stopped to work. I mean, he's not reading CD but not DVD discs.
I don't know what the problem is.I went on the internet and found no solution.
Please help me.
It is not a software problem, because my laptop does not start the DVD, but due to the CD...Hello
The issue could be linked to the anomaly of the player's laser lens.
Maybe the lens can not handle the DVD because of a physical constraint.
In most cases, the lens can not calibrate properly and therefore different media would not work.
In this case there is not much to do in most of the cases that the drive needs to be replaced.But maybe you could try to clean the drive s laser lens using a cleaning professional who could be bought from the other computer dealers.
I don't very well if this will help but it s worth to try mPS: Try this:
Remove the drive from Device Manager, access the registry and remove the filters top and bottom of this key;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}Then restart the laptop and check the functionality of s by car.

Satelitte P850-132: optical drive read DVD but not CD
Hello
I have a P850-132 of Satellite of Toshiba (PSPKAE) with a Mat * one optical drive DVD-RAM UJ8B0.
I have the latest drivers for the optical drive installed (6.1.7601.17514).
Problem: Reads DVD very well, but cannot read the CD.
When you try to play a CD, the player makes a low clicking noise: ~ 4 quick clicks, then a second of silence, ~ 4 quick clicks... The player repeats this model by clicking silence/4 times, then goes silent. Nothing else happens.
The drive is defective? Is there an easy way to check if it is?
The pointers will be deeply appreciated :)

Looks like the laser lens is unable to read data from the CD.

Hello
tried a Firmwareupdate for the reader? At this address you can get the latest update if it is not already:

So if the problem persists, then your only option would be to contact a local service partner. They will probably check your disk for physical errors.

Satellite A100 PSAA9A - can read DVD BUT not CD with Windows XP
I use a satellite A100 PSAA9A computer laptop and I started having trouble with the CD/DVD drive. It was working fine until yesterday when he decided not read no matter what CD I get the message asking me to insert a disc, when there is a CD in the drive. It still reads DVD good.
I don't know if he has anything to do with the download of the updates of Windows XP because the troubl seems to start after I did.
Is there somewhere in the creation for the player who controls this? Also when I run the troubleshooting test it always ignores the test of this drive.
I'd appreciate any help.
See you soonOptical drives, DVDS, has some different faces to work with CD and DVD, but objective and optics are the same. He had arrived, when in one two heads become a dust or something else. I thing that you must visit the Service and your disk cleanup. But do not use a cleaning disc!
PS. Windows updates, as and OS, are not issues.
Make sure it's easy - attempt to start bootCD (not BootDVD) with anyone by pressing F12 at startup. If the running machine - it's Windows, if not - DVD player.
See you soon -
Here most of the issues have the opposite problem - can read CD but not dvd. I recently had my computer cleaned using "easy Support. Before that, the computer can read both. Could it be the problem? Any help will be appreciated.

- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer

Hi tommytommytom,
1 when was the last time it was working fine?
2. did you of recent changes on the computer?
3. what happens when you try to insert the CD in the drive? You receive an error message?
4. What is the number of brand and model of the DVD player on the computer?
5 have you tried the fixit tool provided in the previous post?
If the previous suggestions don't fix the issue, then I suggest that you install the updated drivers for the DVD player by visiting the site of manufacture of the disk and check if that helps.

SAM 5200-701 reads DVDs but not any type of CD...
I'm in a bit of confusion here and hoping for a little help.
Yesterday I installed the latest update of the BIOS for the 5200 701 of this Web site (such as recommended by a tech note I read about installing linux) all is well and everything seemed fine. Until I tried to use the built in player TEAC DW-224th to read a CD. It seemed to try several times to rotate the disc upward but was constantly looking for. In the end, it is not turn up, but the orange light comes on.
I tried CDR CDRW and regular CD. None worked and none of my bootable CD's would work (so it is not a windows problem).
However the DVD works fine first time in windows or boot my linux CD.
I bought the pc several years ago and now out of warranty so all suggestions appreciated.
If there is no known solution so I need to find a repair company in the area of Reading in England.
Thanks in advance.
Jamie.
