Blu-ray optical drive no longer plays Blu-ray discs. Will play all other discs

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite hpe-510y desktop pc. HP product # bv538aa#aba.  Optical drive has stopped playing and recognizing Blu-ray discs. All other discs play fine. I didn't notice this problem for awhile because I don't always play Blu-ray discs on my PC. I don't know if their was an update or if the optical drive has just gone bad. I am not sure if its a hardware or software problem. Has anyone else had this problem with this model. Would appreciate any help you can give me in this matter. Thank You. Dennis

Dennis, welcome to the forum.
I suggest uninstalling the drive.  You can do this by going into Control Panel / Device Manager / DVD/CD-ROM drives.  Right click on your drive and select "Uninstall".  Then, reboot the computer.  Windows will indentify it and reinstall it.

  • I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    Probably because they don't accept that media.
    Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • DVD Studio pro 4 no longer builds a DVD that will play in any player, is there an update or comparable program?

    DVD Studio pro 4 no longer builds a DVD that will play in any player, is there an update or a comparable software available? Or are there some internal fixes that I have not found.  Preferences that will allow a clean product to be delivered?

    Thank you for your prompt reply.  I first import all my assets, build my DVD, which may include one or more menus, pictures, music, etc. I use the simulator to test all aspects of video before burning.  Making sure that the end jump works, if I add chapters, going to each chapter making sure buttons and end jumps for the chapters work.  When I am satisfied I then go to burn/format function and delete or reuse any folders that the computer advises.  The resolution is SD, display mode 16.9, Lossless linking, red laser, single, one side 12 cm.  Thats about it.  Haven't had a problem in the past just wondering what I could be doing wrong now. I am workingo on an imac, MAC OS X, 10.7.4, 2.93 GHz, Intel Core 17, Memory 8GB, 133mHz,DDR3.
    Response I get is, unknown disc, please check disc again."

  • Ipod touch 8gb will not play music.  It will play through headphones and while hooked to dock though. Any suggessions? I've been through all the reset, restore and nothing has fixed it....

    Ipod touch will not play music.  It will play though with headphones in and when attached to dock.  Any suggestions?

    If you have not yet restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod try that.  If stil have the problem you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Experience with MCE internal Blu Ray optical drive

    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 17".  The was the last 17" laptop that Apple produced.  A MacBook Pro Retina 15" is just not an alternative, as setting the display to the same resolution as the 17" produces letters that are too small to read.  So I have been "souping up" the 17".  I've expanded the memory to 16 GB and replaced the HDD by a 1 TB SDD.  Now I'm considering replacing the optical drive by an MCE internal optical drive that supports Blu Ray (http://store.mcetech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=UNBBD6X -A&Category_Code=STORBD).  Has anybody done this?  If so, have you encountered any problems or limitations?

    I use a Lacie D2 external Blu-ray drive on my Mc Pro.
    It is not possible to play Blu-ray DVD's using Mac OS X as OS X does not support Blu-ray. To watch Blu-ray movies on a Mac you will need to use Windows software such as that made by Cyberlink (http://cyberlink.com/). You can burn Blu-ray data disks and Blu-ray video disks on the Mac Pro using Toast 9, and you can do more extensive authoring of Blu-ray disks on the Mac using Adobe's Encore CS4.

  • Blu Ray Optical Drives

    Do you need a special Blu Ray Drive to play Blu Ray movies???? or will any Blu Ray drive play 3d movies???
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hello funkman99.
    I understand you are inquiring as to whether any BluRay player will play 3D movies or if you require a special BluRay Player. The answer is you need a 3D BluRay Player to play 3D Movies on. Additionally, you need a 3D monitor and a 3D movie. Anyone of these is missing and you will not get the full experience.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Re: Satellite U300 - Optical drive no longer registers after prog uninstall

    Hi,
    I recently uninstalled a programme for a DV camera on my Satellite U300. After the uninstall, I am no longer able to use the optical drive. If I put a cd/dvd into the drive it will 'fire up' however it will not register with the laptop to enable play. I have tried diagnostics test, but it just skips past optical drive as if it was not there.
    Has the uninstall also removed driver software for the optical drive and, if so, is there anyway for me to recover/download the driver without a full recovery losing all other installs on the machine?
    Any advice greatly received!

    Hi,
    is the optical drive present in the device manager?? If so, then remove it and reboot your machine. After that the drive should be reinstalled automatically.
    If not, then perform a complete registry check with some registry cleaning software.
    Afterwards perform the first step.
    If this does not help, then it would be better to recover your machine..
    Cheers

  • DVD optical drive no longer works with Windows under bootcamp or parallels

    For some strange reason, the DVD optical drive- Optiarc 5680 on my 27" iMac, no longer works anymore with Windows under Parallels or Bootcamp. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager and Code 39 "Windows cannot load the device driver..."
    The DVD drive continues to still work fine with OSX. But it won't work anymore under Windows via Parallels or bootcamp, despite trying to uninstall the optical device drivers, update, reinstall, etc. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas?

    Finally found the solution for anybody else who runs into this problem. It was solved by doing a registry mod in Windows from this site:
    http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
    described in “My CD drives have vanished (from Explorer, Device Manager, etc.)”
    After applying the registry changes the DVD optical drive worked instantly again with Windows....sigh...guess I can't blame the Mac on this one.

  • [SOLVED] Optical drive no longer detected

    Edit:This is so stupid. I had it disabled in BIOS. I don't remember doing it. I apologize for the noise.
    I don't know when this happened, but fairly recently. Maybe with linux-3.2 or kmod.
    My optical drive is no longer detected. This is what I found in my old logs:
    kernel.log.3:Dec 18 22:39:31 localhost kernel: [ 5.277389] sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
    kernel.log.3:Dec 18 22:39:31 localhost kernel: [ 5.277738] sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
    I no longe have any mention of sr0 anywhere and I can't eject the drive. It's completely dead while Arch is booted. It works fine when I'm in the BIOS configuration menu.
    Am I missing a module or something like that?

  • Optical Drive no longer showing on C drive

    Hi everyone,
    My optical drive (CD/DVD) is no longer accessable, either via C drive or any other means.
    The drive is still mechanically working, accepting and ejecting discs, but I have no meams of accessing it.
    I'm thinking this is a driver/software issue and have tried to download drivers from HP but no luck.
    My TouchSmart is an IQ512me (64 bit).
    Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Optical Drive No Longer Recognized-- Yosemite, Mac

    Like a fool, I updated to Yosemite. Now my external optical drive is no longer recognized and I can't burn a CD in iTunes. Please help! How can I get my computer to recognize my optical drive and burn a disc? I have a Mac Air.

    Hi,
    How is your optical drive connected? It may be a connection problem.
    When you go to About this Mac, Overview, System Report, Disc Burning, what does it show?
    Does the device show in the Finder window sidebar or in Disk Utility?

  • Optical drive no longer working after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    I have read several of the posts about problems with the optical drive, but I think my problem is different.
    I have a MacBook Pro, early 2008 (non-unibody)
    Under Leopard, I had no problems with the optical drive. I purchased Snow Leopard (the single disc, 10.6.3 version). The upgrade went smoothly. From that moment on, the optical drive fails to read both CD's and DVD's.
    I have reset SMC and PRAM/NVRAM, but that made no difference.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!

    Try running a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through it, a little bit of dust or dirt is all it takes to throw them out and it might just be co-incidental with the upgrade.

  • Optical drive no longer available before installing iTunes

    Before installing iTunes and reeboting the computer, the optical drive dissapears from the system. It´s neccesary to reinstall the operating system to have access to it.
    I believe that Roxio´s Easy CD Creator and iTunes may have any kind of conflict.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    If you have XP you can use this : http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scriptsdesc/xp_cd_dvdfix.htm
    but actually, unless you have some compelling need for Roxio I suggest you dump it.
    If XP and iTunes can't handle all your burning needs then a program like Imgburn or CDburnerXP can be use in addition.
