CD/DVDW not detected by system on Compaq Presario V2000

My CD/DVDW TS-L532R on my Compaq V2000 can't seem to be detected on my system.  I used it recently without any problems but after I removed a i-phone programme something must have happened.  I don't recall having a CD to install the hardware so I'm at a loss what to do.... I can't seem to get any help on the COMPAQ or HP website...
Can anyone out there give any advise?  Thanks

Hm, forgot that dmesg is case sensitive... Writing DVD in caps instead resulted in this:
$dmesg | grep DVD
[ 1.610969] ata2.00: ATAPI: Slimtype DVD A DS8A5S, WP56, max UDMA/100
I also looked through the dmesg output more carefully, and found these
[ 6.629435] ata2.00: TEST_UNIT_READY failed (err_mask=0x4)
[ 11.814737] ata2.00: TEST_UNIT_READY failed (err_mask=0x4)
[ 16.999954] ata2.00: TEST_UNIT_READY failed (err_mask=0x4)
A quick google search indicates that this whole thing is a known problem when connecting a SATA 3 gbit DVD-drive to a SATA 6 gbit port, which is probably exactly what I've done. I'll just have to switch some cables around.
Thanks for the help lagagnon. Marking the topic as solved.

  • Epson scanner perfection 1670 is not detected on system preference pane

    It use to work but now it only produces blank grey scans.
    I have deinstalled and reinstalled new driver from Epson support site.
    I have also tried cleaning the USB connection with no results.
    I have noticed that when I tried connecting to the internet from the the scanner Help menu it tells me I am not connected (while I am) and I noticed also that the scanner is not detected on system preference pane.

    You can open System Profiler and under the Hardware heading you will see the USB entry. The printer should be listed under one of the USB busses. If you don't see it then the USB cable could be faulty or the printer itself could be cactus. So try another USB cable and in another port on the Mac. If the new cable and socket fails to make the printer appear in the USB view then the printer is the problem.
    If the printer is visible under one of the USB busses then this would indicate that the printer and the USB cable is okay. In this case the printer should be capable of being added in Print & Fax. But if you select to add the printer and it does not appear in the Default view of the Add Printer pane then try a reset of the printing system, as described next.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac

  • I am rajendra i have compaq presario v2000 note book now i reload os winxp audio drivers not instal

    Sir I am rajendra kumar I have compaq presario v2000 lap top I reinstal winxp os now I can't install audio drivers Please solve my problem

    I noticed this is your first post, a comprehensive post just for asking XP drivers.
    Please read XP downgrade guide, part 2, here
    Your model, somehow forgot to be listed in part 2, but in general, part 2 should work for your model.
    Read the guide so that you knew the advantages/disadvantages installing XP for your model.
    About your request, try the following drivers
    1.For Intel 965 Express Chipset Family, Here
    2.Conexant High-Definition SmartAudio 221 Driver
    Driver modded by silver here
    Unzip to a folder..use Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
    No to connect,
    Install from a list or specific location,
    Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
    For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
    Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
    Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
    Ignore XP when it complains.
    Reboot.
    Please post again If you found the mic and external speaker are not working perfectly.

  • Compaq Presario V2000 Is the CMOS batt rechargable? (Batt ML1220)

    Hi
    I have a Compaq Presario V2000. It will not boot up or show any signs of being powered. I think the CMOS battery needs replaced. The battery is a Panasonic ML1220. What I want to know is whether the CMOS battery is rechargable. I've found a battery locally, but it cautions not to recharge this particulary battery. It's a UL1220. Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance,
    Ron

    This does seem to coincide with a hard drive issue.
    I don't have access to a system like this, but go back into BIOS.  Is there an option for SATA settings anywhere for IDE or AHCI?  If so, try setting it to the opposite of what it currently is.  For example, IDE to AHCI or AHCI to IDE.
    Another thing to check, and this is easy to miss, is anything at all connected other than the charger?  If so, disconnect all non-essential devices.

  • Upgrading Compaq Presario V2000 laptop

    hello everyone,
    I am planning on upgrading a Compaq presario V2000 laptop i currently own. I heard that it cna can only run on PC2700 RAM with a max of 1gb per slot. Currently, I have 2 X 256mb sticks installed so i plan to remove one of them and install a 1GB stick and i was wondering whether this is compatible with the laptop:
    http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_3274_PNY_Sodimm_1GB_DDR333_PC_2700_for_Laptop
    I also wanted to upgrade the hard-drive as 40gbs just doesn't cut it for me. Does anyone know whether the V2000 can hold two hard-drives? Also what hard-drives are supported by the V2000? Will any IDE 2.5" hard-drive fit in or does it only support 5400rpm drives?
    Thank you,
    Babaquazi

    Your max memory is 2 gigs or 2 x 1 gb and yes it uses DDR333 SO-DIMM memory. Here is the Crucial.com page for it:
    memory
    Here is the Manual:
    Manual
    Turn to Page 5-6 for hard drive replacement. Don't forget to save the little connector piece that goes over the hard drive pins and place it on the new drive. There is only room for one (1) drive.
    You can use any IDE (PATA) 2.5 inch laptop drive of any size and rotation speed. A 7200 rpm drive will boost performace significantly.
    Not sure if you have the Intel or AMD version of the V2000 but the processor is also upgradeable if you happen to have one using the Celeron or Sempron processor.

  • Audio Drivers for compaq presario V2000

    Hi,

    Hi:
    Those ID's confirm that your notebook has the Conexant AC-Link audio chip.
    OK...here is what I did. A little detective work...
    I like to use the free 7-zip file utility to extract the component files from the exe.
    When I extracted the files from the driver that is posted by HP for your model that I linked you to above, here is the hardware ID for the Conexant Audio chip the driver supports.
    [Conexant]
    %*WDM_AMCAUD.DeviceDesc%=WDM_AMCAUD,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E
    As you can see, this driver supports a different Conexant audio chip than the one in your notebook, because the hardware ID you posted is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370
    So, I googled the hardware ID and found several drivers that had the main ID of PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370, but they had a different &SUBSYS number.
    I had to download and extract the files from a few of them before I finally found one that matched the exact hardware ID as yours which is PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_3091103C
    Please see if this one works...

  • Canon MP560 Printer is not detected by System Preferences

    Hi everyone,
    I am using a 2010 Macbook Pro with OS X Version 10.7.5, I have had this Canon MP560 Printer for about 2 years now and it has been working perfectly until lately when it starts to keep on returning "a communication error has occured" whenever I tried to print something.
    I have read through the forum and noticed that people have experienced the same thing as me.
    So for me, I have tried the following solutions:
    1. Checking if the LAN connection is working and printing the LAN test page from printer. It does print ad says that wireless LAN is enabled an active.
    2. I deleted the printer and scanner from System Preferences and try to re-add it
    3. Update my software
    When I tried to re-add it, there is no printer detected. I tried doing the step-by-step that PAHU recommended that worked for some one but unfortunately it does not work for me. My printer still does not appear when I tried to look up a printer.
    (Here is the step by step that I followed:
    The printer component of the MP560 can take longer to appear than the scanner component. The scanner uses Bonjour to advertise itself on the wireless network, while the printer component uses a proprietary protocol called "canonijnetwork". If you select to add a printer and have the Default Add Printer view open, you will see the MP560 as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. But if you wait at least 15 seconds more, the printer should appear showing "canonijnetwork" in the Kind column.
    If this printer component does not appear after 30 seconds maximum then it would suggest a problem with the printer driver installation. So open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinter and trash the contents of this folder. Then download the latest MP560 driver via this link and run the installer. With the installation completed, try to add the printer again.)
    Since I have tried these suggestions but still is not successful I wonder what's wrong with my Printer/Macbook and if there's any other way to add printer (using IP address for example ). If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Yes I can Ping the IP address from Network Utility.
    Before, my Macbook couldn't even recognize the scanner, but now I can add the Scanner from System Preferences.
    However, my printer is stll not detected. I am missing some sort of an application or something?

    the system has been restored once before and there are no programs on the computer for creating new recovery disks.
    The D drive recovery partition is still there.
    I have looked on the website but can not see any software to install to help other than update.
    How Can I do a system restore or create disks if the software is not there.

  • Firefox not detecting/using system proxy settings

    I use a command line script to change among various proxies (and none). Firefox does not recognize when a proxy is turned on or fails to connect to it (no error messages), while other browsers and applications do just fine.
    I have tried selecting "Use system proxy settings" and "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network."
    My script contains these lines to activate a proxy
    reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections" /v DefaultConnectionSettings /t REG_BINARY /d 46000000b10000000200000014000000736f636b733d3132372e302e302e313a313131311c0000002a2e6c6f63616c3b3139322e3136382e31312e2a3b3c6c6f63616c3e000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 /f
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v MigrateProxy /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    The first line enables the proxy to take effect without entering inetcpl.cpl. Again, this works for any application other than Firefox.
    The proxies are all through ssh with port forwarding.
    I do not want to manually configure a proxy in Firefox, because I do not want to change this every time I need to change proxies or turn them off. This is not an acceptable solution.
    I am on Windows 8.1 64bit, with Firefox version 35.0
    Any idea what might be going on here?

    Thank you for the response, but as above, the "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network." setting does not work.

    Is your source a DVD/ Blueray or Mp3 etc?
    It depends on your source, if your source is Stereo sound, you will need CMSS 3D to be turned on to upmix the sound into 5. channel.
    If your source is e.g a Blueray then it should be fine if you set your output settings under VLC or PowerDVD etc to play 5. sounds.
    Which case/scenario are you facing?
