Pavillion 9550f with Light Scribe DVD/CD no longer works

I have a Pavillion 9550F with a Lightscribe super media DVD/CD Writer.  It was working fine until yesterday.  I am running Windows 7.  When I put in a cd or dvd it doesn't do anything.  In Divice Manager under dvd/cd it lists TSST corp CDDVDW TS-H6532.  No lightscribe.  The cd drive willopen and close.  What can I do to get it to read and write cd's/DVD's again?

I tried all the steps from 2 - 5 and still no luck. 
When I place a cd into the drive ths is what I see on my computer:  I cannot right click on the drive.  Was wondering if the drive truly was supposed to be at E or if something got messed up when I was downloading power points onto a cd yesterday.  Anything else I could try?

  • Aperture and DVD Player no longer work with NVIDIA 330M, help!

    I recently got my computer back from the Apple Store, had the display switched because the glass kept falling off.
    Anyways, since getting it back, I noticed DVD Player doesn't work anymore, it gives me:
    There was an initialization error
    A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]
    And when I try to start Aperture 3.3:
    Error
    The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.
    I have a mid-2010 MBP i5 2.4Ghz with 8GB memory, running OSX 10.7.4.
    Things i have tried:
    Reset PRAM
    Reset SMC
    Boot into recovery mode and fix permissions
    Boot into 32 bit kernel
    force fsck
    Create new user and try from that account
    Also my video conference software, Jabber gives an error and quits too.  Its something with the video.
    Switching to Intel HD video, everything works fine.  Only with the NVIDIA 330M do I get this error.
    Does anyone have any idea what this may be or what I could try?

    I'm having exactly the same problem. Additionally, the DVDs I make aren't recognized by other Macs I've tried. All the Preferences are set correctly.

  • "Edit a copy with Light Room Adjustments"  is no longer functioning

    I use to be able to edit a copy with lightroom adjustments when I sent my photo to CS5.  It is no longer working.  how can I recover that function?

    Assumption here is that you are using LR4 with CS5? Is that correct? Lightroom uses Adobe Camera Raw 7.x and higher and CS5 doesn't have that available.
    Make certain you have downloaded the latest version of ACR for CS5 (Version 6.7) It will take care of most of the incompatibilities between the ACR version mismatch.
    To completely correct, you will need to upgrade to CS6 or have Lightroom render a flat Tiff into CS5.

  • LaCie external DVD drive no longer working

    I recently upgraded the firmware on my LaCie DVD +/-RW burner so it would work reliably with a G5 running Tiger. It worked fine with that machine for several months. Unfortunately, it no longer works on my G5 that's running 10.3.9. I've downloaded and installed the latest updates from LaCie to no avail. The blue power light comes on but that's it. The tray only opens with a paperclip, and disks don't spin up. Any suggestions?

    Hey, I would first try to take out the drive and "clean" the contacts on the drive to ensure it's connected. I'm pretty sure you can find videos/guides on how to take out the drive (shouldn't be too hard), there should probably be few screws that you would need to take out and then simply pull out the drive. If it's still not recognized, you can probably order the same model drive from amazon/ebay. All you would have to do is to simply put in the new drive in. 

  • My system DVDs will no longer work on my iMac!

    Most DVDs have recently stopped working on my iMac. Some will run, Gladiator is fine but not Harry Potter or more worryingly my system discs.

  • IMac DVD player no longer working

    Hi,
    I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    My iMac is not playing DVDs anymore. When I insert a DVD a pop-up window appears saying: "You inserted a blank DVD. Choose an action from the pop-up menu or click ignore." The DVD I inserted isn't blank and it says the same thing when I try other DVDs.
    From the action menu there is: Open Finder, Open iDVD, Open iTunes, Open Disk Utility. I have tried to open with iDVD and it didn't work. I tried to click on Open Finder and then the DVD shows up on the dektop but it is blank, nothing happens when I click into it the picture of the DVD.
    I think I have caused this to happen by accidentally deleting something in the applications folder. Any ideas of how I can reinstall the software that runs DVDs on the iMac?
    When I used to insert a DVD I would get the picture of the DVD on the desktop and I would be able to see it on "Front Row" where all the entertainment is.
    Thanks!

  • DVD burning no longer working.

    Hi there,
    I am not quite sure if it is since the 10.4.9 update or the re-install I did a month ago, but DVD burning with Toast 7 or the Finder no longer work.
    I can burn CD's with my internal NEC DVD RW ND-3520A drive and I can play DVD's just fine too, but when I try to burn a disc I get this error:
    "Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (Error code 0x80020022"
    I am using Phillips DVD-R media that I have used before, the firmware on the DVD drive is at 1.04 there is a new Firmware updater but you need a Win2K machine.
    But the Firmware update has been out for a while and I have been burning happily until now.
    Anyone on the forum have an idea as to what the issue is?
    All the best,
    Anil.

    Hi Dak,
    Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately I have been using Patchburn for a few years now. I had to reinstall my system because of some dodgy software from Vodafone. I upgraded to 10.4.9 from 10.4.8, just like every good OS X user.
    It burns fines with CD's it just seems to be a problem with DVD's, maybe it is a media issue, might try a few other brands and see if that helps. again thanks for your advice.
    Anil.

  • The Illuminated lights on my keyboard no longer work

    I just noticed last night that my Mac Book Pro's Illuminated keyboard lights no longer work. They used to work without any problems but now they don't. I don't use this feature often, so I don't know how long the problem has been occuring. I only just noticed it last night.
    I tried resetting the PRAM and the power management, to no avail. The "Illuminate keyboard in low-light settings" button is checked in system preferences.
    The strange thing is, I can press the keyboard light controllers on the keyboard and the indicator of the light level appears on the screen, but the lights don't actually come on.
    The ambient light settings for the display are working fine. I don't understand what's going on with the keyboard lights. It's very irritant.
    My Macbook Pro is one of June 2007's models, the Santa Rosa 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It came with Tiger and I upgraded to Leopard in December. Last week I upgraded to 10.5.3. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Yes, as I said in my first post, that box is toggled. It still doesn't work. I've tried turning it off and back on and it still doesn't work.
    I haven't even had this computer for a year yet already it's breaking down. 3 months after I bought I had to have the LED replaced because it was defective, and now this.
    Why is this professional laptop that costs as much as it does breaking down after barely a year? I never had these problems with my IBM ThinkPad laptop. I only needed to take it in for support after 4 years of solid performance.
    I don't expect to see these problems in a supposedly professional computer that is barely a year old.
    Oh well.

  • DVD burner no longer working on Touchsmart 600

    I hope this is the correct forum. I have a Touchsmart 600 series and my DVD burner no longer reads DVDs or CDs, either digital, music or video. When I attempt to burn a DVD through Windows Media Player, WMP goes through all the motions of burning it but the CD is still blank. It had been working intermittently up through September and stopped working in November. The DVD burner didn't always work since I got the machine 2 years ago. Sometimes it would stop reading the disk but would work after a reboot. Now it won't even do that.
    I have updated the drivers for it and it didn't seem to have an effect.
    OS: Windows 7

  • Zen M100 with 1 day of use no longer works

    *Zen M00 with day of use no longer works. After a few hours leave it's plugged into the USB, I realized that it's was abnormal screen. I tried to unplug it from USB by Windows but it still fails. After removing it from the USB and tried calling then turn off the phone, but he would not answer. So I left the option of resetting it. But the reset also did not generate any results, only resulted in a momentary change in brightness on your display. ZEN M00 I tried to call several times, tried to reset several times and have not had any results. The only thing I could find was a logo with the name of Lyra and the message to boot, but it is very difficult to identify what is written because it is very difficult to read. What is happening? is there any solution? Please help me
