Hp notebook problem model # dv9823cl the cd/dvd player is not found in bios or device manager
If the CD/DVD player is not found in either the BIOS or Device manager is the problem in the motherboard?
if it is besides getting an external CD/DVD player, is there any other solutions?
Thanks
Before giving up hope I would try hard resetting the computer. Here is how you can hard reset the laptop:
To Perform A Hard Reset
Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds)
Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.
Sometimes by removing all electricity from the computer and then reintroducing it, issues like this can be resolved. Give this a try and let me know if it resolves the issue or not.
Thanks!

HP Pavilion dv9700 CD/DVD ROM not found in BIOS or device manager
HP Pavilion dv9715nr entertainment notebook PC.
Originally running Windows Vista Home Premium, 32-bit OS.
Computer recently began running very slowly/freezing/hanging during normal use.
To combat freezing/hanging, mistakenly performed system restore instead of simple recovery.
After system restore:
CD/DVD player did not work.
CD/DVD player no longer listed in Device Manager.
CD/DVD player listed in BIOS as ATAPI/CD/DVD ROM Drive, not as TS-L632 as installed.
Updated all available drivers from HP website, including:
Vista Home Premium SP2
Phoenix BIOS to version F34(?)
CD/DVD player still not listed in device manager.
CD/DVD player still does not work.
Removed CD/DVD player from laptop and re-installed, hoping to reseat it. Failed.
Tried Mr. Fix-It. Failed.
Followed every similar thread, tried all fixes listed in this forum. Failed.
During boot-up, CD/DVD player makes two (2) distinct "bumps" as if loading or trying to spin.
Any help in getting the CD/DVD player reinstalled and operating will be appreciated.
Thank you.Hi

Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive is not listed in BIOS or device manager
1. The original drive is not working. Upon inserting a disk the drive's light does shine and it does spin - but nothing further.
A little investigation shows no optical drive listed in the BIOS or Device Manager (naturally).
2. Perhaps I'd like to reinsert the drive, but I can't find any instructions on the internet about removing/replacing this drive.
Neither in the owner's manual.
Can someone steer me to these instructions?
Many thanksOwners manual is not the same as maintenance manuals. Please note that this is not the same and exact description about notebook disassembling procedure is for authorized service only.
Anyway, as far as I know the optical disc drive is fixed with one screw and it can be removed from the bottom side. The screw is placed near the memory cover exact over the optical drive. Not on the side of cooling vent but on the other side.
Be careful because all you do is on your own risk. -
cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -
My dvd player will not let me change regions, it says i have one more chance to change it, then it just quits when i do, now its stuck on region 1. Any thoughts how i can solve this problem or get round it in some way?
Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory. -
Airplay Mirroring and the Mac DVD player not working
Has anyone else experienced issues trying to airplay mirror the mac dvd player? When I attempt to play a dvd while airplay mirroring is turned on the dvd player window just shows the checkerboard pattern and no video (this is on both the laptop screen and the tv screen). If I take airplay mirroring off the dvd displays properly.
I had this same problem, and i read that it has to do with DRM. Even DVDs you make your self wont work because the DRM is set on the DVD player it self. You can use VLC and it should work, it worked with me. Anyways good luck.

I bought the external DVD player/burner for my Macbook. I tried using it with my Dell laptop but it will not work. Is it not configured to work with anything but apple operating systems?
If you purchased the Apple USB SuperDrive, it will only work with select Apple devices. It won't work, for example, on my Late 2011 model that has a SuperDrive built-in, but it will work with an Air, Retina model, new 'drive-less' iMacs, etc.
As far as I know, though, you can only hack the drive to work with some other Apple devices, but not with Windows PCs. Which is a shame as other, less expensive DVD/CD devices will work with just about any machine.
Sorry,

Satellite P200D-134 - can not use the Toshiba DVD player
I have the Satellite P200D-134 and can not use the Toshiba DVD player.
It displays an error message.
"Required modules missing for this application"
In Vista it worked everything fine.
Now I upgraded Windows 7 Ultimate and all Toshiba programs are gone.
And I can not use the Software HD DVD player or other Software from Toshiba.
What should I do?
Does anyone have any advice? Is there any help?
Please write back in German or English.
Thank you!
RobHi
Did you install the VAP (value added package)?
If not do that!!!
Furthermore I recommend installing the DVD Player Update Check Tool which can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
With this tool, you can check your notebook, if your DVD-Player needs a Upgrade and if yes, it gives you the download link for the needed upgrade version.
By the way: If you cannot find the DVD Player for Win 7 in P200D section then you can download this from the P500 section! -
I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?
I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly): -
I have an IMAC (OS X 10.7.5) and the DVD player will not accept DVD's. As they are inserted, they are immediately ejected. How do I fix this?
try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).

Hi guys. i have some problem with a link from a pdf on-line,when i click on it,the page adds a "%" at the and of the link and says "page not found" because of it.
This happens only when a load my pdf file on my server, because if i click on the link when the file is on my iPad, the page opens without problem.
Any help please?
thanxthe % sign is often used when there's a space in a name. HTML doesn't like spaces so it fills them with % or %20
try, on the end of that link, see if there's a space built into the page or the link when the page was made
On the web address you may be able to 'backspace' at the end and erase that space to get the address, but whomever made the page possibly put a mistake in the link -
What formats can the Mac DVD player App support/play?
I have a list of movies that I imported from my friend, and, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out which formats will work and which wont--totally not tech savvy enough to figure this one out.
Unless the movies are on a DVD disk, DVD Player is not your App. Quicktime is it. You should be able to simply double-click the file to open with QT Player - the Mac knows how! - ÇÇÇ

I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player. Thanks for any help you can offer,
Thanks for your reply:
I did find an error log related to the error code and tried all suggestions on the list of recommendations, still no luck
I definitely am running OS X10.5.8 (hopefully will be updating later on this month)
I tried several brand new discs from the same box, still no luck.
My last option is to go out and try a different brand, guess I'll go with Verbatim this time but I think I'll poke around some more before buying 20 more new discs. -

My DVD player will not work. I am unable to install the snow leopard 10.6.3 because of it.
Do you have a friend with an Intel Mac. If your MacBook and their Mac have firewire ports you can install by Target Disk Mode. You'll need a retail version of SL to do this with any Mac other than a MacBook.
Start up your friend's Mac with your install disk. After you get to the install screen on your friend's Mac connect your MacBook to your friend's Mac in "Target Mode"with a firewire cable http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Then open "Disk Utility" from the "Utilities Menu" on the Menu Bar from the install disk on your friend's Mac. You should see both your MacBook and your friend's Mac hard drives in there. Erase and partition your MacBook drive and then choose that drive when you go back to the install screen. Or install over your existing OS on your drive if you have applications you want to keep.
The only other way is to buy an external DVD drive on eBay. http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=firewire+external+dvd+drive&_sacat=0&LH_BIN=1&_ sop=15&_dmpt=Apple_Laptops&_odkw=usb+external+dvd+drive&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286. c0.m270.l1313 or at MacSales http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/optical-drives/
And of course be sure your Macbook meets the system requirements. To upgrade to Snow Leopard or install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor.
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing.
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended).
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer.
At least 5 GB of disk space available.
