DVD/CD rom on DV6000

the CD rom on my DV6000 is working intermitantly. the only time I can get it to read a disk is if i make it "sleep" by pressing the power button, and then "waking it up" again.
any ideas? recommendations?
any input would be great!
thanks in advance!

Hi,many thanks for all the replies,i have been to the above site but i posted after being unable to find my particular model,and knowing how some manufacturers work they change the break down procedure from model to model so have been a little hesitant in trying to follow whats there,also it doesnt say which type of drive i need.thanks again.
Greybadger will take you up on your offer of help,thank you

Cannot install DVD/CD ROM drive after upgrading from Windows 7

I had a working DVD/CD-ROM drive before upgrading. Now it shows as Unknown Device in Device Manager, I tried uninstalling it and then scanned for hardware changes but it still does not work. I also tried manually selecting a CD-ROM drive for it but it
ends up with an error code 31. I also checked for {4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} registry but it did not have lowerfilters key. How do I install the driver for it?

Hi,
The error code 31 means that Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.
Considering that this issue mostly can be caused by compatible issue.
Please check if you can fine the latest driver from Manufacturer’s website. If so, try to install it under Windows 10 compatibility mode: Right click the installer of the driver, choose Properties, choose Windows 7 under Compatibility
mode to install.
If the CD device still fails to work, I recommend to check the setupapi.dev.log under %windir%\inf, locate the device and find the line below:
dvi: Rank - 0x00000000
Then, corresponds the score in this link:
Identifier Score
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff546297(v=vs.85).aspx
The value 0x00003000 is the best identifier score and the value 0x00003FFF is the worst identifier score.
The score near 0x00003FFF means that the driver and device may not compatible with current system, we may need to wait for the menufacturer’s driver update.
Thanks for your understanding.

Pavilion dv9700 DVD/CD ROM stopped working: Code 10 (This device cannot start.)

I have a HP Pavilion dv9700 running Windows 7 where the DV)D/CD ROM drive fails to be detected. I can still get it to open and close. The device manager gives an error: Code 10 (This device cannot start). I read somewhere that iTunes upgrades can cause DVD problems in HPs, and I did upgrade iTunes a couple of days ago. I did upgrade the BIOS a few moments ago, but it didn't help. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Thank you for the responses! Sorry it took me so long to implement--I wanted to back everything up first before messing with the registry. Following the instructions to delete lines in the registry AND uninstalling iTunes allowed for the DVD/CD ROM to pop up with an exclamation mark in my Device Manager. Updating the driver did not help as the computer said the driver was up-to-date. Mysteriously, when I rebooted, the DVD/CD ROM disappeared from the device manager again. I forgot to mention in the initial post that the DVD/CD ROM light blinks steadily at about two blinks/second. Any other ideas? I am wondering if this is a hardware failure now.

Dvd/cd rom drive deleted

Somehow my Dvd/cd rom drive was deleted. I have a compaq presario f700 notebook computer. I looked in drives and the bios and it is no longer listed. I went to HP website and can not find any wheres to redown load it. Does any one know how to get it back?
I am also having a problem with when I turn on my computer the screen is black it is booting up but I can not see anything. I shut it down and sometimes ttakes a few tries then it i can see the password screen. I did do a windows check and it said my nividia geforce needed updated, but again when I went to hp website and scanned it said it was up to date. So not sure what is going on........any ideas?

With the iPod connected and allow use as disk drive checked, right click on the ipod icon on your desktop then change the drive letter of the iPod, say to P. Eject the iPod and disconnect it, reboot your computer and see if the drive is back.

Satellite A660 DVD/CD-ROM drive does not detect discs

Hi there,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 with a MAT****A BD-CMB UJ141ES DVD/CD-ROM drive. It is about 18 months old and recently I have noticed that it does not recognise any CDs/DVDs. It makes a couple of noises once inserted but then stops spinning and nothing happens or changes in My Computer view.
Please note there seems to be no apparent problems with the drive:
- It is present in My Computer
- The device is working properly in device manager
Things I have already tried:
- Run Microsoft FixIt and CD-ROM/DVD Troubleshooter - both said it could not recognise media
- Deleted upper filter in the registry as per many suggestions (no lower filter present)
- Updated driver
I don't know what else to do. Please help as this is frustrating for a relatively new notebook which never is moved from my desk (don't expect many damaged parts).
Cheers

As I said: clean the laser lens
If you open the CD/DVD drive you will see the small laser lens.
Use cotton wool tip and alcohol

Pavillion dv9810us DVD/CD-ROM Drive and Vista Device Manager Question.....HELP!!!!!

I have a Laptop, just over a year old, runs Vista Home Premium SP2. Here is the scenario
Hadn't used the DVD/CD-ROM drive for 3 or 4 weeks at which time it worked fine. Tried to use it a couple of days ago and discovered it wouldn't respond. I figured I needed to maybe rollback the Driver or something. I checked in the Device Manager and saw the main HDD was listed but there was no DVD/CD-ROM drive in the Device Manager List. Does Vista remove the DVD/CD-ROM drive if it's inoperable (DEAD) or has something happened that removed the Device from the List. I've had Drives go South before in Windows 98 and 2000 but they were never removed from the Device Manager List they just didn't work but I know Vista is a OS of a different color so I don't know. Just trying to figure out if I'm fighting a Hardware or Software fight here, I'm at a loss and can't afford to just take it into a shop for diagnosis. Any answers or tip on how to definitly isolate the problem would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any Help.

I have the same problem, dvdrw not showing in device manager. Bought a new TS-L632N dvdrw by TSST and it still does not show in device manager. This started after I ordered new recovery disk from HO (vista Home Preminum) and reloaded the OS. I know HP knows about this problem but will not do anything about it. Online support not good and a 500 dollar repair bill would be a waste when you can buy a new laptopn for that.

Satellite P105 - DVD/CD ROM drive does not work

The DVD/CD ROM drive on my P105 does not work at all. I've tried the registry fix for the upper/lower limit thing - didn't fix the problem. The drive does have power, does spin a disk, but it is not recognized by the system. It doesn't show up in the device manager at all. I need to get this working and I'm hoping it doesn't need a new drive as this machine is out of warranty (of course!). Thanks for any and all suggestions on hot to fix this problem.

Howdy folks. This thread has a lot more views than the one I posted to, but go here to the following message for a possible solution to your CD/DVD Drive issue:

DVD/CD-ROM Not working

My 1 day old (aka NEW) computer does not see the DVD/CD-ROM. the driver says "windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (code19)
What do I do to fix this?

Open Device Manager (search for it in the Start Menu if you need). Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." What's listed under there? Is there a yellow exclamation mark next to the device?
Right-click it and select "uninstall." Then reboot.
Windows should auto-detect after rebooting.

How to clean DVD/CD-ROM (slot-loading)?

I have a +*MacBook Pro*+ with a slot-loading DVD/CD-ROM. I have a DVD that won't play certain parts. I repaired and cleaned it and now it looks much better and the part that was not playing in the movie is now playing. However, now there are other parts that aren't playing. I used someone else's computer to see what might be wrong. The DVD played fine on theirs, everything played. This person suggested that my *lens might be dirty*. I don't know *how to clean it if it is a slot-load or where to find the cleaning supplies*. If anyone knows how to clean the DVD/CD-ROM, please let me know. *Thank you!*

Haven't had the need to clean my newest, but in previous MBPs have had much success with the brush-type drive cleaners sold by various makers. These have 2 or 3 really soft, small and flexible brushes attached to the working side of a CD, plus a content track that leads you on how to play the thing so the brushes get a good go over the lens.
In my now-deceased Feb'08 MBP, one of them enabled me to resuscitate the drive and let it play CDs and DVDs it was consistently spitting out.

LightRoom 1.3.1 corrupts DVD/CD-ROM device driver

There is a device driver corruption bug in the new LightRoom 1.3.1, and it is observed if you upgrade from LR 1.3.0. Following a reboot after the updating installation of LR 1.3.1, the device driver for an external USB DVD/CD-ROM device will get corrupted, as noted in the Windows Device Manager. This was not a problem with any of the prior upgrades of LR from 1.0 through 1.3.0.
My environment is Windows XP Professional SP-2 on a Lenovo X60s ultra-light laptop. This laptop does not have a DVD/CD-ROM device built-in because of it size. So, I have an externally powered DVD/CD-ROM player/burner device that plugs into one of the USB ports. As long as I am using LightRoom 1.3.0, everything works fine for whenever I plug-in and access my external USB DVD/CD-ROM drive. I can leave the external device plug-in and reboot, or use the USB dismount of the device and reboot and then plug-in the device, or any combination of these steps and the external device will continue to work.
When I install the LR 1.3.1 upgrade, as long as I don't reboot, I can run LR 1.3.1 and it will work fine and so will the external device. I can dismount the USB DVD/CD-ROM device and then plug it in again and it will still work fine and so will LR 1.3.1, just so long as I do not reboot after installing LR 1.3.1. As soon as I reboot the computer, even if done immediately after only installing LR 1.3.1, and regardless of whether or not the external USB DVD/CD-ROM device is plug-in, after the reboot, the Device Manager will indicate that the device driver for the DVD/CD-ROM device is corrupted.
In order to isolate the cause of my device driver corruption problem, I had utilizing the Windows Restore Point capability. I am able to step back to a very recent Restore Point where LR 1.3.1 had not yet been installed, and I am able to plug in and dismount at any time my external USB DVD/CD-ROM device and always be able to use it without any problems. I can also reboot the computer and the USB DVD/CD-ROM device will continue to work without any problems, whether it was left plugged in or if I hot plug it in after the computer has fully rebooted.
For the record, I used different files and different methods for updating LR from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1. One method was to use the update feature within LR. Other methods used included two different downloaded *.EXE files to do the update without LR open. No matter which method was used to update to LR 1.3.1, the corruption of the device driver was always the same after a reboot.
I also did test installs to be sure that other applications didn't cause the same problem. I can confidently report that I updated four other applications and rebooted and the USB DVD/CD-ROM drive continue to work just fine. One of the updates was the latest Adobe's Flash Player.

Yu may want to review your system to see if you are getting the same error as I did. If not, then just send them the correct information.
Here is exactly what I wrote - you just need to change what CD/DVD drives you have on your system:
'I can not get either of my CD/DVD drives to work. I have tried to uninstall and reboot system for Windows to pick them up. I can not rollback or update the driver as it is not finding the files. They see the drives under Computer Management, but I get this error: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
I need to have the inf files and do not have access to the cd you sent as all the drivers are down. Can you resend the inf files for the "CD/DVD 1" & "CD/DVD 2"?'
Hope this helps - Dan

Dvd/cd rom not showing up on computer.

dvd/cd rom not showing up on computer. Where do I find the driver for the dvd/cd?
Have a pavilion dv6915nr with windows vista. Somehow the dvd/cd player is not showing up and will not play anything.
Any suggestions on what I can do.

Is this because i am an idiot and need a DVD drive?
Have you got a DVD drive?
Have you been able to playback DVDs before? If not, then you may very well need a DVD drive... not just a CD drive.
You'll be able to tell what you have by looking in 'My Computer' when there are no discs in the drives. The drives should show up as things like: 'CD-ROM Drive(D:)' or 'CD/DVD Drive(D:)'. If none of the drives have DVD in the title, you may just need a DVD drive.
If you have any luck getting them to show up, take a look at this thread for help on ripping DVDs to iPod.

Driver files needed for the following Sony dvd/cd rom drive: "dvd-rom ddu 1615". windows xp

Driver files needed for the following Sony dvd/cd rom drive: "dvd-rom ddu 1615".
The dvd-rom drive will not read any type of dvd or cd.
desktop computer: Dell Dimension E310 , windows xp, service pack 3.
This Sony dvd rom was installed (by someone else) and replaced the dvd rom that initially came with the Dell E310.
Where can I find driver files for this dvd rom?
Thanks,
Denise

Hello Denise,
Welcome to the Sony Community.
All of the Sony internal optical drives are plug & play with Windows so no drivers are required for detection in your PC. If you are having issues getting your drive detected then please try the following:
• Ensure the Sony drive is set as a secondary master by itself. If you have another disc burner or a zip drive on the same IDE cable, please separate them.
• Ensure you have the latest Service pack for your Windows operating system and any other updates for your system installed.
service, storage support email
• Please remove your secondary IDE channel from the Device Manager.
If the issue is still not resolved, service may be required. You may contact the Sony Storage support team by e-mail at: [email protected] for further information.
Thank you for your post.

Dvd/ cd-rom driver disabled !!!

I have gone thru all of apple's recommendations multiple times, and I still cant get this problem to go away. Please help!!!

There should be a category that says "DVD/CD-ROM drives" in Device Manager.
Are you sure both the sata and power cables are connected to the disc drive inside the pc case?
Try the link below.
Unuinstall driver (skip this part if u dont have it), remove filters, then restart pc.

You can also check in the BIOS (F10) at pc startup and unde the Main menu it lists your disc drive and hard drive.

DVD\CD ROM driver problems

Windows 7 64-bit. I got a HP DVD A DH16AAL SCSI CdRom, and is saying a driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality (code 32), how do i fix this

Hi,
With the optical drive connected, open windows Conyrol Panel, open Device Manager, open DVD/CD - ROM drives, right click on the DH16AAL and select Uninstall. When this process has completed, restart the PC and let Windows re-discover the Hardware and hopefully reload the driver.
Regards,
