Hp g6000 dvd drive not detected in my computer, tried registry fix and still not working.

Hi i have a hp g6093ea laptop and for a couple of weeks now i have had my dvd drive dissapear from my computer.
i have the tried the registry thing where you delete the upper and lower filters and then restart laptop.
it worked then couple days later it  was gone  again. 
i have removed the dvd from laptop and clean the connection and put it back still the same.
i was told to remove any burning programs and reinstall so i did that and the drive came back then after reboot went again.
the dvd drive ejects and has power and attempts to read the disk but its just not detected in my computer.
i have even been into the bios and put cd drive as boot first.,
then put my bootable xp pro disk in and it wont boot from the bios.
so i thought i would try an external drive to boot from bios, and it doesnt boot from there either.
i have had the drive randomly pop up in my computer and then after a restart it would be gone again.
so i cant put a fresh install on my laptop and  i dont know what else i can do.
any help
thanks

How old is your laptop?
Have you had any other problems, besides the dvd drive, in the past few months?

  • HT5622 My facetime is not recognizing my Apple ID.  Reset it and still not working (on two Ipad devices).

    my Facetime is not working.  Reset my passwords and tried on two ipads and still not working.  It both worked two weeks ago.  What am I missing?

    Try this. Go to Settings>FaceTime >Off. Reset the iPad and then go back and turn FaceTime on again. See if that fixes it for you.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Ignore the red slider bar if it appears.

  • New iphone 6, never been dropped or water damage. suddenly does not charge with any chargers. I have the verified apple charger and it does not work, have tried 3 others and still doesnt work. phone is now dead. wont charge, whats wrong?

    I have a new iphone 6 (64 Gb) that i have had for roughly 2 weeks. Last night i plugged in my charger that came in the box with the phone and plugged it into an outlet that is not used for anything else. My phone suddenly stopped charging and gave me the message that the accessory is not supported. The box of the charger seemed hot at the time. Thinking it was a faulty cord, i borrowed a friends charger today (also the original apple charger) and it would not charge and gave me the same message. I tried three more chargers and still no charge and i got the same message every single time. My phone is now dead and will not turn on. Can someone explain what is wrong? And if i am going to need a new phone and if warranty should cover it since it was not user caused damage

    warranty will cover it. Did you try only by changing the power adapter or did you change both cable and power adapter?
    if you did the latter, see this page: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/battery-power/
    you'll be able to contact Apple Support from there.

  • Messages on my ipage will not send. I have tried everything suggested and still I get a not delivered message

    Since I have upgraded to iOS 7 messages on my ipad will not send. I get a red message saying not delivered I have tried everything suggested so far, still nothing.

    I'm having the same problem with my Wife's old iPhone 3G.  It's battery went completely dead and now all it does when I hit the power button is shows the screen that shows the animated charger/battery saying to plug it into a charger and then it shuts off.  The thing is, it's plugged into a charger, I've tried several, I've tried getting into DFU mode to restore 4.2.1 and see if that would help but I can't get into DFU mode because the iPhone shuts off before it gets a chance to load I suppose.
    If I find a solution that works to get the iPhone out of this quirk/bug mode it's in right now from the battery dying, I will post it here so you can fix your iPhone as well.
    Best of luck with finding your solution to fix this!  We're both probably going to need it because so far I've searched for the answer for the past hour and still can't get it to even start charging.

  • Sites keep asking for username and password and say "restricted". I've tried numerous fixes and am not using a proxy.

    Hi,
    I wonder if someone could help me please.
    I have an issue that extends across my browsers – Firefox and Internet Explorer (Firefox is default) and both are the latest version possible. My machine is fully patched (Win7 Pro x64 SP2).
    The issue is as shown below:
    'The site xxxx is requesting a user name and password. The site says: "restricted"’
    The happens for some (not all) sites and I have to click “cancel” twice to remove the dialogue box, and then the site appears and works normally for a little while. The box will come up again if I attempt to click any links within the same site. It’s incredibly annoying and has been frustrating me for the past month. Here’s what I have tried so far, but hasn’t resolved the issue:<br />
    <br />
    • Clearing Firefox cache/history manually (set to never remember anything)<br />
    • Tried checking/unchecking private browsing<br />
    • Made sure “accept 3rd party cookies” is enabled<br />
    • Tried all checkboxes for “no proxy”, “use system proxy” and “auto detect system proxy” etc<br />
    • Disabled all add-ons/extensions within Firefox and retried<br />
    • Performed the option to “Reset Firefox” to its default state from within “Troubleshooting”<br />
    • Completely uninstalled and re-installed Firefox (latest version)<br />
    • Went to the URL "about:config" and searched for the key "network.websocket.enabled" and switched it to "false".<br />
    • Went to the URL "about:config" and searched for the key "network.proxy.share_proxy_settings" and switched it to "false".<br />
    • Went to the URL "about:config" and searched for the key "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies" and switched it to "false".<br />
    • Run a full AV scan in safe mode (with latest definition files) using Avira Antivirus, Spybot Search & Destroy, MalwareBytes, Super Antispyware and performed full optimisations via Registry Mechanic, Tune-up Utilities 2013 and CC Cleaner (with CC Extender installed). No threats found.<br />
    None of the above has helped. The problem is only recent so I’m not entirely sure what’s changed.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I seem to have exhausted my ability to diagnose the fault via the god of Google 

    It is always best to avoid using such external cleaners as you can never be sure if they aren't corrupting files and it is usually not worth the trouble to repair damage if that is the case. A lot of the SQLite database files use a complicated table setup that can easily get corrupted.

  • My headphones don't work. I have tried other ones and still not working

    My headphones stopped working. I have tried other headphones and tried resetting ipod to no avail. Any ideas?

    Does it still work in iPod docks or other adapters where it plugs into the bottom?  That is what happened to mine and there was nothing they could do to fix it.  I had a friend who said that he found a kit online to do it yourself, but that's risky.  If it's still under warrenty, just take it in to an apple store and they should replace it.  I was given the option to trade mine in for a brand new identical one for half price because I was past warrenty.  They no longer made the 80g that I had anymore, so I ended up getting a 120g for the same price. I was prettty happy.

  • HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

    After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

    Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
    Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
    Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

  • IPod Touch not detected by "My computer" and Spotify

    Hello!
    My iPod Touch 4th generation, wich is completely new, is not detected in "My Computer" or Spotify, only in iTunes. I have tried with updates and reboots, but nothing seems to work.
    When troubleshooting in iTunes, it finds nothing wrong.
    The iPod works perfectly fine with iTunes.
    I have Windows XP and USB 2.0.
    All help is appreciated! Thank you

    I have tried with an other PC:
    Before I installed iTunes on PC two, the iPod was recognized as a camera in "My computer".
    After installing iTunes on PC two, it worked completely fine with iTunes, but again failed to be recognized in "My computer".

    The function AirDrop on my Mac BookAir seems not to work, not detect my iPad. How to fix this?

    AirDrop on iOS devices (iPads, iPhones, iPod touches) can only AirDrop things with other iOS devices. AirDrop on Mac can only AirDrop things with other Macs.
    I hope this solves your question.

  • TS3276 I've been using Mac OS X 10.6.4. I want to install printer driver of Brother DCP -7030 .I tried it online I could not do it. Would you help me providing suggestions.

    Dinesh from Nepal

    Mac OS X 10.6.8 is the current incarnation of Snow Leopard, and fixes various issues in earlier releases.
    Current versions of Mac OS X 10.6 include the necessary printer driver for the Brother DCP-7030 printer (HT3669).  (The asterisk footnote on that printer indicates there was a recent update via Software Update, so get to current 10.6.8 and ensure the Brother printer software update has been selected and loaded.)
    If you're on the current Mac OS X version and if have the Brother update loaded (from Apple) and if problems with the printer persist, then remove the printer from your current Mac OS X configuraton, and re-add it, and see if that clears the particular issue(s) you're having with this printer.
    From experience, the Brother software for Mac OS X is a little odd, and the older software stuff (and particularly around the scanner controls for their multi-function series) were, um, unusual, and a little unstable.  Printing generally worked fine, though.  Recent versions of the Brother software are working better including for the scaller, but the UIs and the set-up are both still odd.  If you're using the box as a printer (I haven't looked at the DCP-7030 features), then you're best using the Brother software that arrives from Apple and not the software from Brother.
    Also ensure the printer firmware is current.  That's corrected some odd behavior on some Brother printers.

  • I keep getting "camera not detected" every time I tried to download photos from my Powershot SD1000?

    I keep getting "camera not detected" every time I tried to download photos from my Powershot SD1000? I tried different USB cables and still didn't work,

    Hi garyliban!
    Please ensure that your camera's software is up to date.  The older versions that came with your camera were out long before Windows 8, so they need to be updated to be able to work with Windows 8.  Please click here to go to the download page.

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You can try disabling the camer notification
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

  • TS3212 im trying to reinstall but will not allow, due to an error 7,  itunes helper not installed correctly,i have tried several times, but will not allow me to install, i have used itunes for years but now cant use it, can you help

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)
