Pavilion dv4 Cd drive not working

Hi guys about two months ago my cd drive decided to stop read my my cds as well as to stop burning disc. Ive tried updating it and cleaning the eye and i know that its not the cds because they  work on my desktop. the funny thing is that the drive does rotate the cds but it dont recognize it so the cds are in being rotated for like 3o mins and the laptop doesnt find anything. i dont know what to do and neither does my brother unfortunately i dont have the money to get a new drive so wat can i do ? PLEASE HELP

try the fix mentioned in above post. Looks like the CD rom driver gets uninstalled when u install someother software.
I had this problem too last year and contacted HP support and to my surprise, the customer support person started Googling for fixes
I did that myself and found the above fix. It then started working again. I then called back and informed them the fix myself

  • Dvd drive not worked properly

     i have  hp pavilion dv4 series.my dvd drive not worked properly.for that purpose only i went 7 times in your service centre but they won't take action  till now .why u people do like this .i want explation and just change my  dvd drive that's all.

    tcrite,
    Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
    Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

  • Window 10 upgrade. Graphics driver not working even after re-install

    Notebook pavilion DV6 3280.  Just upgraded to Windows 10 and AMD graphics driver not working even after re-install.  What do I do?  Is there another driver not on the HP Website that I should try?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • HP deskjet D2300 series driver not working in windows 7

    This procedure is much too complicated for an average user. You know that millions of Wondow XP users are switching to Windows 7. I' sure that most of them are facing similar problems. HP should come with a user friendly solution that solves the above issues. Don't you think?
    My problem remains unsolved.

    Hi dvh,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that your HP Deskjet D2300 series driver not working in windows 7.
    Do you see any error messages with the installer? Or does it just close out and doesn't install?
    In the meantime, please try using our HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Hope to hear back from you, and have a great day!

  • HP Pavilion Volume Touch-Pad NOT WORKING | NO SOUND HELP

    HP Pavilion Volume Touch-Pad NOT WORKING
    I have an HP Pavilion dv3t - 2000, Windows Vista computer. 
    SOMEONE DID ALREADY HELP ME HERE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY STOPPED RESPONDING | Please check that link out!
    The volume touchpad above the keyboard is not working properly (There is no sound coming out of the speakers or the headphone jack) , If you touch the megaphone part of the touchpad above the keyboard then it stays red, however the sound icon on the taskbar changes from mute to unmuted when you touch the red megaphone. The volume slider on the touchpad works suprisingly.
    I don't know if I uninstalled something or what but I need this problem fixed!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and remove the battery.
    Follow the procedure detailed on Page 63 of your Maintenance & Service Guide to remove the RTC battery.  Hold down the power button for 30 seconds.
    Leave the notebook for 10 minutes and then re-insert the RTC battery, re-assemble and replace the cover, insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.  Tap away at f10 as soon as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    If you still have no audio and the installer you downloaded previously still doesn't detect the Hardware, it would start to look like a Hardware failure, but to try and rule out any further software cause, try the following.
    Follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if this OS will run.  The 'Try it' option runs the OS from the CD without the need to install on your HDD.  If this runs Ok ( it will be slow running from a CD ) and you still have no audio output, this would tend to confirm a Hardware issue.

  • HP Pavilion G6-2288Se XP Aduio Driver not working

    Hello ,
    I have just bought HP Pavilion G6-2288Se notebook. Specifications here :
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​dlc=en&docname=c03647602&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us​...
    This model comes with no Operating System installed . So I decided to install Windows XP.
    The installation went well . And after that I installed my drivers
    Intel HD Graphics : intsalled and works well
    Realtek Eathernet : installed and works well
    USB Devices : works well
    HP Camera : identified
    All except IDT High Definition Audio
    I downloaded the driver from HP , but it didn't work .
    I used vista driver from HP , but it didn't work.
    I downloaded IDT XP driver 2007 and 2009 versions from Microsoft Update Catalogbut also didn't work
    I used Device Manager>install from a specific location>Don't search>select hardware type :sound>Manufacturer
    >IDT     and also another time used Have Disk
    but also did not work .
    what should I do ?
    Please Please help me
    thanks

    You're confusing me...I thought we were discussing installing XP...
    You have now installed Windows 7?
    Because if you did, there is a comparable g6 model with W7 x64 drivers, and the ones I posted for you were only a guess that it might work on XP.
    Every W7 x64 driver from this model should work on yours.  Your model uses the Intel HD graphics driver.
    DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE FILES FROM THIS MODEL

  • HP Pavilion 15-p076 - Touchpad not working after yesterdays driver update

    I let HP software update my computer and at first everything worked just fine. After overnight, when I boot up, there is no mouse, touchpad is not working!
    I re-install drivers and touchpad is working. I boot few times, and it still works. Next day, it doesn't work anymore.
    Now I have installed the drivers three times, twice today.
    So is my month old laptop dead already?

    Hi there @Ardevealca 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    From the sound of things one of the updates being automatically pushed to your notebook is  the source of the problem, either in combination with one of the others or with a security update. This sort of thing sometimes happens, thanks to all the possible combinations of hardware and software.
    It is not likely that there is a problem with your notebook.
    I would disable the automatic updates and see if the problem recurs. That way you would have more control of what updates are applied.
    Turn automatic updating on or off
