My cd/dvd drive does nor reconize the inseration of a disk

my cd/dvd drive does nor reconize the inseration of a disk

Hello lloyd,
Welcome to Sony Community.
Are you referring to Sony CD/DVD Player or Optical drive for Vaio Computer?
You can locate the model # here.
Verify the disc that you are trying to play is supported by the CD/DVD player.
Try playing a couple of different commercially-produced discs.
If no discs will play, remove any discs from the player and leave the CD player powered on with the door opened (if possible) for approximately one hour to resolve the possibility of moisture condensation inside the player.
Regards,
Colby

    First thing to check is for a "screen wedgie".
    Fold a piece of paper into a "scoop" and run it around the inside perimeter of where the frame meets the screen.  You're trying to find some grit or dirt built up underneath that is causing a "Phantom Screen Press".

  • DVD drive does not burn the DVD but prompts the mysterious 0x8002006D error

    I read the earlier threads about the mysterious 0x8002006D error.
    Then went to look at the console and the DiskRecording log reads:
    Finder: Burn sense: 3/73/03 Medium Error, Power calibration area error
    Finder: Burn error: 0x8002006D The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
    Can anyone tell what this could mean? Is the drive old and tired? I have the latest possible update for this Powerbook G4 1,25 GHz that I can use. What is meant by the latest firmware - where can I check which is the latest firmware for this particular DVD/CD superdrive ...
    I am not trying to use the impossible, the G4 only supports DVD-R and with the speed up to 2x, so it is getting difficult to find suitable DVDs for this. The better MacBook is being serviced, as it has a screen problem, only after 1 year of use!
    Please, can anyone help me, my works do not make any progres and I am in trouble!
    I would be grateful for

    Actually, I found out that for this particular PowerBook model there is no further firmware upgrade for the SuperDrive, only for the models starting from 1.5 GHz. Obviously all I can do is downgrade my OS to the version, which I suspect was the one that still supported my SuperDrive to see, whether it is the Drive that has died or whether it is the conflict with the upgrades and the hardware.

  • Dvd drive does not read dvd but reads cd only.

    my hp compaq 420 core2 duo dvd drive does not read the dvds but only reads the cds. How can i solve this problem, please help me with the correct answer.

    It will likely require replacement of the drive. There is more than one laser in there: one for each function. One can go bad without the other going bad.

    Above is the part number for the DVD burner drive. I could not find one on eBay.  Here is one online:

    Replacement is easy. Remove a single screw on the bottom and slide the old drive out and replace with the new drive.

  • DVD drive does not play some DVDs properly

    Hi,
    My Macbook was purchased in 2007; So it is a bit old. I haven't used the DVD drive very often.
    I bought two new DVDs from Amazon recently. However, when I played them in my Macbook using DVD Player, the disk pauses and skips very often, making it impossible to watch the DVD. In addition, the Player would display the "Skip over damaged data" warning.
    I thought it was a problem with the software (DVD Player); so I installed the VLC player. Problems occurred as well. Disk would pause and then simply stop (the screen closes).
    I thought that perhaps it was the problem with the Amazon DVD disk. So I played some other DVDs in my Macbook, with both DVD Player and VLC Player. There was NO problem at all with the other DVDs.
    Then my conclusion was that the Amazon DVD was faulty. I requested a replacement, which they sent to me promptly within a day.
    However, the same problem occured. The replacement DVD would not play properly in either DVD Player or VLC Player in my Macbook. It would pause and skip very frequenntly.
    Now I began to suspect that maybe the Optical Drive was faulty. So I brought the DVD to my school and tried to play it in two computers: one PC (with VLC); the other Mac (DVD Player). To my surprise, the DVD played flawlessly in those two computers.
    Now my conclusion is that the optical drive of my Macbook is faulty.
    However, after doing some preliminary research on the internet, I find that replacing the internal optical drive is a difficult process. The alternative seems to be buying an external drive. But there seems to be concern about booting the computer (when the need arises) from an external optical drive.
    Questions:
    1. Is my conclusion justified? (That I have a faulty optical DVD drive)
    2. If the optical drive is faulty, then why do some DVDs play with no problem in my Macbook?
    3. Would you recommend replacing the internal drive or puchasing an external optical drive? What are the advantages and disadvantages to both?
    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks again. I went ahead and deleted the DVD Player folder and the plist file.
    The result is that it appeared to temporarily improve the playback of the DVD. For the first two hours, the DVD paused considerably less and each pause was of a relatively short duration. There was much less skipping. So the playback was almost tolerable, if I lower my standards.
    However, after two hours, it reverted to its old ways. The pauses and skipping became so frequent and long (as before) to make the DVD simply unwatchable.
    I don't know what to make of this.

  • Tecra M5: DVD drive does not read these mini DVDs

    I have canon dvd handycam, and mini dvd works on it. One month back i recorded movie and pictures on mini dvd using handycam and ran mini dvd on my tecra M5 dvd drive, it worked very fine.
    Now after 1 month i have 5 mini dvds with movies and pictures which i took on 1 month vacation in diffierent countries, i tried my best but tecra dvd drive does not read these mini dvd, cd drive label appears instead dvd drive when i put mini dvd in it.
    All other standard size dvds, cds working fine on it.Its complicated and as well as irritating.
    Any suggestions?
    Why its messedup?

    Seems the lens cannot read this miniDVDs. Possibly the drive lens cannot calibrate and therefore the miniDVDs are nonreadable.
    Try the solution from sascha. Maybe youre a lucky man and it works.
    If not, try to remove the drive physically from the notebook. Reboot the notebook without the drive. The Windows and BIOS shouldnt recognize the drive.
    Then shuts down again, put the drive into the notebook and boot up the unit.
    The notebook should recognize the drive and should indicate the firmware again.
    Im not sure if this will help you but its attemptable

  • Re: CD/DVD drive does not seem to start DVDs in Satellite P750

    My CD/DVD drive does not seem to start DVDs, it would turn and turn and the only way I can start a DVD (i.e. a movie) is by using Windows Media Centre, while software to be installed needs to be activated from Windows Explorer.
    Anybody?
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Xaver, tried this, still won't autoplay, it will just turn the dvd around for a while and then stop. Though when I open Windows Medi Centre and choos 'play DVD', it does the trick. The only way to install software, though si through Windows Exp[lorer and searching relevant file. Cheers,
    Havoc.

  • CD/DVD drive does not work after Win 8 intsallation

    from a month i've updated my windows into windows 8, everything is working great but the DVD-RW .
    When i put empty cd and try to open it, it gives me error while opening saying:
    "windows was unable to complete the format"
    So is that a software or a hardware problem?!
    waiting for the help !

    Does this mean that your CD/DVD drive does not work anymore and is not recognized by system?
    If yes, then I would recommend checking this Toshiba document which I found on the knowledge base portal webpage:

  • Satellite L500-126 - CD/DVD drive does not open very smoothly

    Hi,
    I just got my second Satelite L500-126.
    I exchanged my first one for a new one because the ESC key got stuck sometimes and made a squeaking sound.
    Now with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very smoothly and 2 little silver metal bars come out with the drive when I open it.
    Is this normal?
    Also, when I close the dvd drive i hear a little "ping!" sound.
    Like a spring or something. Is this also normal?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Im not quite sure what you mean by 2 little silver metal bars but my notebooks drive contains two metals (runners, trackage).
    This is normal and these parts are important to ensure that the drive could eject properly and could stay in right position.
    You will always hear an short click opening and closing the drive.
    So I assume this is ok.

  • If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does it take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff

    If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does imovie  take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff. If I pull pics out of iPhoto, and later want to drag an archived projet bac into iMovie and the pics are no longer in iPhoto, will I be able to keep working in the project in iMovie?

    Very likely not, as the iPhoto's can be used for something else.
    More like it took a copy, or it's referencing that spot on the drive in the editable files and most likely made a copy to create a new permanent export file.
    Sample one picture and a iMovie file and see what happens.

  • Mac mini solid state hard drive does that replace the 2 by 1T hard drive

    mac mini solid state hard drive does that replace the 2 by 1T hard drive

    There wouldn't be enough room in the Mac Mini enclosure for 2 Fusion Drives since they are really just a SSD and a Platter HD working in conjunction. Could really be smoking in a 4 Drive RAID box though. I am speculating here but there is only 1 additional partition allowed in the Fusion Drive. My thought is that the current Management Software would get thoroughly confused with multiple partitions probably due to mount points not being able to register in a normal manner. IMHO the Fusion Drive is another crutch for the normal/average user that doesn't want to be bothered with file management protocols.

  • Native error code -214721788​7 0x80040e21 Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: ODBC driver does not support the requested properties​.

    I configured MySQL in TestStand and making a query in TestStand like this:
    Command :=> "SELECT *  FROM crc_table ; " or  "SELECT CRC_Value  FROM crc_table ; " returns the total number of records without any errors.
    But when I add the "where" clause
    "SELECT crc_table.CRC_Value  FROM crc_table where crc_table.File_ID= Locals.File_ID and crc_table.Version_ID = Locals.Version_ID and crc_table.Link_ID = Locals.Link_ID; "
    I get the error as:
    Error, The following SQL command failed: 'SELECT crc_table.CRC_Value FROM crc_table where crc_table.File_ID= Locals.File_ID and crc_table.Version_ID = Locals.Version_ID and crc_table.Link_ID = Locals.Link_ID; ...' Native error code -2147217887 0x80040e21 Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers: ODBC driver does not support the requested properties. [Error Code: -10, User-defined error code.]

    I would appreciate your help.
    Thank you,

    Vidula,
    I am not completely sure if this is the cause of the error but it is something that will cause problems if it is not fixed.  In your SQL statement you must properly concatenate your strings with your variables.  In the statement you posted you were simply putting the variable names in the string, not actually pulling their values.  To do so properly your query should look something like this:
    "SELECT crc_table.CRC_Value  FROM crc_table where crc_table.File_ID='"+Locals.File_ID+"' and crc_table.Version_ID = '"+ Locals.Version_ID+"' and crc_table.Link_ID = '"+Locals.Link_ID+"' ;"
    This way we are using the values of the variables in conjunction with the text strings.  In this case the usage of single quotes (') casts the variables as strings so you may need to change this character sequence, but from the second example you gave I think that your variables are of type string so this should work fine.
