Hi, I have a HP pavilion dv4 laptop computer. My E:\ CDDVDW TS-L633M cd drive has stopped working

Hi I have a HP Pavilion Dv4 laptop computer. My E:\ CDDVDW TS-L633M cd drive has stopped working. When I insert a new CD or an exiting cd into the cd drive, the computer displays a message to insert a cd into the drive. i Know that the cd that I'm inserting into the drive should be readable, but the computer doesn't recognize it. When I run the HP support assistant, and choose the HP Optical Disc Drive Check, I get the message "Insert media in : E:\ hp CDDVDW TS-L633M
If you want to do write testing, insert blank writeable media, Otherwise, read-only testing will be performed. When I insert a  disk with a program that I want to install on the computer into the cd drive and click the next button, I get a window that says:
"Media Identification:
  Wait while the media is being Identified."
 Then another window is displayed with the message:
"Media Identification
  No disc has been detected."
But I know that the disk is formatted correctly for my cd reader to recognize it.
Please Help,
  -Ron

Hi Ron,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive is now working.
If the drive is not working, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
Regards,
DP-K

  • I have organizer 8 to input name tags.  The whole process of inputting tags has stopped working.

    I have exhausted all remedies I know of, including restoring windows.  I have windows7, a 64 bit, I7 computer.  I have read some of the support comments as well as forum comments.  It is obvious that I had better not ever try reinstalling any Adobe program, but especially Elements because of the serial number problems.  So, now Adobe has made it virtually impossible for users.  Programs don't work, can't uninstall/reinstall without major problems and time by the buyer/user; Adobe makes it extraordinarily hard to think they are a good company.
    So what does the forum recommend to users for solving seemingly impossible problems without spending more money and a huge amount of time?

    You may have an ISP that automatically redirects you to a search page if a DNS look up fails.
    That takes the control from Firefox to do the normal keyword search like a Google I'm Lucky search.
    In such cases you need to contact your ISP and ask for a DNS server to opt-out of that feature.
    You can also check if there is a link on the search results page to go to your ISP and opt-out.

    Any help you could give would be awesome!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

  • I can't open Itunes on my laptop. "Itunes has stopped working. A problem causes the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" is the message. what is the problem here?

    I can't open my Itunes program in my laptop computer with windows 8. the message is "Itunes has stopped working. A problem causess the program to stop working properly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I reboot  the machine, Uninstall and re install the  Itune program, stilll the same message pops up.

    The first thing to try is System Restore to take you back to a point in time when it did work. If that is not successful, create a new user on the computer. log in with that and see if ID will start. This will tell us if the problem is in the system/program or the user account.
    If it works in a new user account, see Replace Your Preferences and in addition to replacing the prefs, empty the InDesign Recovery folder that will be in the same location and the InDesign SavedData file.

    My Mac knows that it is connected to the montior...
    Open your Displays system preferences.  Is there an Arrangement tab and does it show two screens?  If no Arrangement tab then your mac does not know it has two screens.  Maybe smc and pram reset will shake it free and maybe not.  Maybe there's something wrong with the connection.  Thunderbolt plugs are similar to mini-displayport plugs so make sure the plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket.  The plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
    If you do see two screens in the Arrangement tab then click Detect Displays and Gather Windows to get the Displays preferences of the other monitor on to your main monitor.  Check the resolution and if there is a refresh rate check that as well.

    what does icloud have to do with always getting this message at start up APPLE IE DAV has stopped working?

    Hi,
    Have you thought about filter on both session id and query counter? or it's also possible for you to go to transaction st03n BW profile to get the times for query execution in a specified time range.

  • I have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop, and am trying to set up my recovery discs. I get an error message

    I have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop, and am trying to set up my recovery discs.  I get an error message that states "inserted media not supported".  I am using CD-R Music discs.  Is the problem "Music" ?  Will it not recognize a blank music disc?

    Hi,
    Yes, it is the discs that are the problem - you will need to use good quality DVD+R or DVD-R discs.  See the section under the sub-heading 'Create a set of operating system Recovery Discs' on the link below.

    ? i have a hp pavilion g6  laptop comes on wont boot 4 months old  wont boot to hd or cd can get to bios it dont help tryed to restore was not much on it .

    Hi,
    If it won't boot from the Hard Drive or Optical Drive, you may well have a fault with the Sata Controller on the Motherboard - at the end of the day, by far your best option as your notebook is still under warranty, is to contact HP and arrange for it to be repaired.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

    Hi NECROMANCER274, and welcome to the HP Support Forums! 
    I understand that you are getting a blank screen and your caps lock button is blinking. I will try my best to help you with this problem.  To better guide you, could you please give me the full model number or product number of your Notebook and the operating system that is currently running on it. Here are some guides for How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? and Which Windows operating system am I running?
    In the meantime, this document for Blank Screen LED Error Codes will have information on the blinking Caps light.
    I hope this helps, please let me know how it goes.
    Thank you and have a great day!

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
