My pavilion dv6 won't recognize my bd rom

I have a pavilion dv6 laptop and it seems like right after my warranty expired that it stopped recognizing my bd rom. It doesn't even show up where my other drives are. I did see it is in the device manager but with a yellow, !, on it. I uninstalled it and rebooted my computer and the computer says "found new hardware" but it still doesnt fix the problem. I also tried to update drivers and it said it's already up to date. Someone please help.

According to this document, a code 32 is caused by a registry entry being set to disabled.  However, it does not provide the steps to manually change that registry key.
Registry edits are not for novice users as any item that is changed incorrectly can cause Windows to no longer function requiring a reinstall or even more advanced steps to fix.  My advice is to not edit the registry unless you have confirmed steps before you.
When you visited the linked document, it should have prompted you for a Microsoft Mr. FixIt.  Download this Mr. FixIt as it is Microsoft's automated repair tool which often times makes those registry edits for the user and is a much safer approach. 
Should the FixIt not work for you, try these steps.
1.  Find the BD Rom in device manager.
2.  Right-click the BD rom and select uninstall.
3.  Check the option to also uninstall the driver for it. 
4.  Follow the prompts to uninstall it.
5.  Right-click the computer name in device manager and select Scan for hardware changes.
6.  Follow the prompts to reinstall the BD rom and its driver. 
Let me know what happens.

  • Pavilion dv6 won't go into Sleep Mode

    My HP Pavilion dv6 always used to go into sleep mode everytime I closed the lid as it's supposed too. However recently when I close the lid it just loops the login screen as if you've locked your laptop. It makes the sound it used to make when I'd open the lid to wake it up. As far as I am aware there have been no software changes recently that could have caused this. Thanks.

    Hi there ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that your computer is no longer going to sleep mode when you close the lid. I am happy to help with this. Please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following, if you need help with that information. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?Give this a try: Click Start, choose Control Panel, and then choose System and Security.Choose Power Options and then select Choose What Closing the Lid Does from the left pane.  Also these may be of interest to you:HP PCs - Troubleshooting sleep and hibernate issues (Windows 7)HP Notebook PCs - Managing Power Options (Windows 7 and Vista) Here also is a page from Microsoft, that includes a video of what to do.Change what happens when you close your laptop - windows.microsoft.com Let me know if this works for you, or not.

  • Deployed Marine... Why doesn't my pavilion dv6 6135 dv recognize my integrated camera?

    I have tried Device Manager look for hardware with no luck.  I am deployed in Afghanistan and would like to be able to video chat with my family. 

    Webcams are very fragile and go out fairly frequently. I had mine go out recently on an HP laptop I own and had to send it in for service since I did not want to void the warranty but from where you are I have to think that is less of a concern. The cam is a very small part and not too expensive...I see them on ebay for under $10. Do you have somebody there who could do the replacement or do you think you can do it? That would be the easiest and cheapest way to fix it. I would be happy to buy the cam for you and send it to a military address and I can also provide installation instructions. It is certainly no harder than field stripping your weapon.  I do think you should exhaust tech support and they can actually remote into your laptop and check and see if maybe there is a less drastic option but in my experience if the webcam disappears from device manager the webcam circuit board is dead.
    Thanks for your service.

  • URGENT QUESTION concerning Pavilion DV6 laptop charger

    Hey I have a question: I have two HP laptops; one is the Pavilion dv6 and has a charger with the series number PPP009L-E, with input 1.6A and 65W;
    The other laptop is the Pavilion dv6-3236NR, with the charger having the series number PPP009D, with input 1.7A and 65W.
    My question is, can I use the second charger for the first charger's laptop? My first Pavilion dv6 won't charge at all! Could someone PLEASE help me ASAP and tell me if it's the charger's problem, battery problem, or both, and whether I could use the second charger on the laptop!

    Hi Sekhar,
    Well the error code would certainly indicate that the drive has started to fail, but just in case, you could try wiping the entire Hard Drive first and then reinstalling the Operating System as described below.
    Download and install Killdisk on the link below - ( this application will write zeros to the entire drive ).
    http://software.lsoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe
    Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.
    http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html
    Go to the Kill Disk application you have installed in All Programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators and from that select Bootable DOS CD Creator which will burn the bootable ISO to a blank CD.
    During the next process do not worry about any warnings as your Windows 7 installation disc will reformat the HDD.
    Insert this CD in to your PC that is unable to load Operating System properly. Shut the notebook down, then start it again to boot from the Killdisk CD and follow the on screen instructions for Kill Disk.
    A brief description of the process is here Killdisk.
    Use this to wipe the whole of the Hard Drive, highlight (80h) and press f10 ( you will also have to type a confirmation and hit enter ) - ( this will make sure you include all partitions and then start the process - this may take a couple of hours! ). 
    When the process is complete, remove the Killdisk CD and try installing Windows 7 again.
    If it still fails, I think your only option is to replace the HDD.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 card reader won't detect some SDHC cards

    Notebook Hp Pavilion dv6-6104so
    Windows 7 - 64 bits
    The notebook's card reader won't detect some of our SDHC cards. We have updated the driver to the latest version, Realtek PCIE 6.1.7601.90, and the BIOS, but it still won't recognize some of our cards.
    We have six SDHC cards, three SanDisk (4, 32 and 32 GB), two Kingston (8 and 8 GB) and one Integral (4 GB). The card reader recognizes four of them (4 and 32 GB SanDisk cards and one of the two Kingston cards). What is strange and that you may have already noticed is that the card reader recognizes only one of two cards with the same brand and capacity!
    About the two cards that don't get recognized in our notebook, they work properly in their corresponding cameras and are detected without problems by another HP Pavilion dv6-3138so notebook card reader, as well as by two netbooks of ours from two different brands.
    When we connect the cameras (one Canon and one Sony, both point-and-shoot) to the computer via a USB 2.0 cable, the laptop detects the cameras and through them we can access the cards.
    We purchased the laptop less than two weeks ago in Helsinki, Finland.
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    This question was solved.

    Hey Everyone,
    Using a high capacity card in a standard card reader slot will cause this issue. Im going to guess that the cards you ar having issues with are the SDHC cards and not the standard SD cards. As Naoto stated, by using a camera as a card reader you an workaround this. You can also look into SDHC card reader adapters. Here is a good article on the SDHC cards: http://goo.gl/lj5Fq
    Hope this helps!

  • Pavilion dv6-2044ca laptop screen won't turn on, unresponsive

    Hi, I have an HP Pavilion dv6-2044ca laptop that was purchased in late 2009, running windows 7. It was working normally the other night when I went to get a drink, and when I came back the screen was off. I couldn't get the screen to turn back on by moving my mouse, so I shut the computer down and restarted it. When I started it back up, it sounded normal, but the screen continued to not turn on. I tried taking out the battery and holding the power button for the power reset method referenced often on these forums, to no avail. I hooked it up to an external monitor but nothing showed up. When turned on, the caps lock and num lock lights won't turn on, however the light indicating it's plugged in, the lights for sound and wifi, and the light indicating the mousepad is turned on all light up. I have made no changes to the hardware or software in weeks. I'm at a loss as to problem solving methods at this point, and would greatly appreciate a more experienced opinion on the matter!
    Kevin

    Try a hard reset. Remove battery and AC power. Hold down power button 30 seconds. Now put AC power to it and try to fire it up. It is a 100 to 1 longshot but worth trying. If that does not work it ain't sounding good. Maybe try removing and reseating the RAM sticks, but other than that a new motherboard might be the only fix. 

  • HP Pavilion dv6 1334us won't start after windows update, stuck in Error Recovery

    My computer is an HP Pavilion dv6 1334us with 32bit-windows 7. The computer did automatic updates and when it started up said there was another one avaliable through WIndows Updater. I installed the update and it said the computer needed to restart for the update to take effect. I choose to restart and the computer wouldn't boot back up, it boots to the 'Windows Error Recovery' screen where my options are 'Launch Startup Repair (recommended)' and 'Start Windows Normally'. When I select the repair, it says it loads windows files, then goes back to the error recovery screen. When I choose to start normally, it freezes the second it trys to start, flashes a blue screen and then returns to the Error Recovery page again.

  • New Battery Not Recognized on HP Pavilion dv6-4052nr

    Hello, 
    So I have an HP Pavilion dv6 that I have had for about 4 years now. Everything works fine on it but within the last year the battery has slowly been unable to hold a charge. Until recently where it won't hold a charge at all and has to be plugged in. I ran a diagnostic test on it and it said that I needed to purchase a new battery. I purchased a new battery from online since I could not find a proper replacement from HP. This battery looks exactly the same as my previous battery and fits perfectly in the battery slot, but when I turn my computer on it does not recognize the battery is there. It did run off just the battery for about 30 minutes and then shut down. Now it won't charge and I have to run simply off it being plugged in. I did another battery diagnostic on my computer and it just says that it can't find a battery. 
    I know that many other people have had this issue with no way of fixing it and I have tried some ways to fix it such as turning the computer off, taking out the battery, holding down the power button, etc. They have not worked however. Is there any other fixes I can try or will I simply have to buy a new battery? Is there one that is more guaranteed to work through HP?
    Thank you! 

    Hi @mimorgan ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-4052nr  Notebook and issues with the newer battery. Here is a link to test and calibrate the battery.
    Here is a link to your manual page 20 for the battery part number.  Yours is a 6-Cell 55WHr Lithium-Ion Battery and the new should match the specs.
    What is the part number of the new battery?
    Please let me know.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6b47dx gets "Restoration Incomplete" from Recovery Manager.

    I got my son's older HP Laptop, and decided to restore it before using it for myself.  Previously it was working OK.  An HP Pavilion dv6-6b47dx gets "Restoration Incomplete" from the Recovery Manager.  I have tried running the recovery manager from both the HD partion and the DVD media I created.  The HD and Memory pass.  The wireless f12 key is off, and can not be turned back on from the keyboard.  Some previous post have suggested the wireless being off could be a problem.   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

    Hi
    No that Recovery media won't work in your laptop.
    ISO file can be used to clean install. You'll have to get all the 25 character alphanumeric product activation key printed on the COA label on the back of your laptop to be clearly & legibly readable for activation of ISO after install.

    For additional drivers you can get them here:

    You have to first install chipset, restart system - then audio driver-restart, graphic driver- restart, ethernet controller(LAN), network controller(WLAN & Bluetooth), card reader, touchpad , Protect smart hard drive protection driver, quick launch software in order.
    I could see that your model came with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) pre installed.

  • Garmin Forerunner 210 keeps connecting/disconnection when plugged in HP Pavilion dv6-3040sd

    I have a problem connecting my Garmin Forerunner 210 (GF210) to my HP Pavilion dv6-3040sd. I know the problem is with the laptop, because i tried several other laptops and on those it works well. When i connect the device, windows installs the drivers. so far so good. When the drivers are installed, the laptop recognises the GF210 and it connects. A window pops up letting me choose what i want to do, but before i can decide the device is disconnected and connected again. It goes on and on like this. 
    On onther laptops the GF210 is seen in the 'Computer' section as a external harddrive.
    My laptop is running on Windows 7 64-bit and all the latest updates from windows are installed.
    Does anybody know an answer to this problem?

    Hello again HarmR,
    It is good to hear back from you!
    Since you have already applied the document above with no success, I recommend changing the drive letter of the Garmin Forerunner 210. This can be done by following the steps of this document on how to Change, add, or remove a drive letter.
    Additionally, I also suggest following the steps below in order to recognize a USB device in Windows 7: 
    Step 1. Click Start
    Step 2. Click Control Panel
    Step 3. Click Administration Tools
    Step 4. Click on Computer Management
    Step 5. Click on Disk Management 
    *** If it was not seen there, go to 'Action' on the menu bar, click on 'Rescan Disks' and it should come up. If it does show here does it have a drive letter assigned? If not follow the instructions below:
    Step 1. Right-click on the removable drive
    Step 2. Click on Change drive Letter...
    Step 3. Assign a drive letter
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
