Sony Optiarc BD Rom BC-5500S is not reading blu ray disks

I have a pavilion dv7-1070ev and upgrade from windows vista home premium 32bit to Windows 7 home premium 64bit.The laptop came with the optical drive Sony Optiarc BD Rom BC-5500S with Firmware version 1.83.The problem is that the bd-rom is not reading blu ray disks. When i put in CD's/DVD's everything is fine -> drive starts to spin up and a little later the disc is readable/available in windows. When i put in a BluRay disc -> drive just makes a very short silent spin effort (to identify disc?),and no disc is available in windows. When i double click my drive icon (in my computer) it pops up a window asking me to insert a disc.Note that it is the first time I put blu-ray disk to watch blu-ray movie.I have never used the bd-rom when the laptop had windows vista.
The drive is compatible with windows 7 b4bit

Searched in forums I found these solutions :
A clean registry
1. To begin the process, start the Registry Editor.
    Click START,click RUN, type REGEDIT, and then click OK.
    Click the plus(+) next to the following folders in the left side of the window pane:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SYSTEM
    CurrentControlSet
    Control
    Class
    (4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318)
2. Look for any of the following names in the right side of the window pane:
    UpperFilters
    LowerFilters
3. If any of the items above are listed, right click on the item and select DELETE.
4. Be sure to restart your computer after you have deleted the files in the registry.
B.new firmware
1.Download the latest version for the retail version of this drive from sony at:
http://www.sony-optiarc.eu/uploads/media/WinDL_BC5500S_V106_02.zip
Sony says that you can only update from Firmware versions 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 1,04 and 1.05. Previous firmware version(s) other than mentioned here are probably OEMs and therefore cannot be updated with this file. Contact your PC manufacturer (FTS, DELL, HP....) if you require firmware updates for these drives.
I have HP version 1.83 dated December 2007 so I cannot update.
C.Uninstall/install bd-rom
Uninstall bd-rom from device manager ,restart the pc and then looking for drivers.
searching not found something.
My driver is up to date (21/06/2006) and the driver is 6.1.7601.17514
D.Clean the laser lens
I put a cd cleaner to clean the lens, but that didnt help
I have used the solutions but the problem is not solved.
Can anyone help ;

QuickPlay is made by Cyberlink who also makes Power DVD 10, 11 and 12 products.
You have to uninstall QuickPlay and all Power DVD products (don't use QuickPlay anymore, it's outdated and it will not be updated as it's been long discontinued). There is also a Power DVD folder(s) that needs to be deleted as well.
After you have uninstalled everything, run CCleaner as many times as necessary and delete what it finds in its registry cleaner.
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
Here is also a link for Power DVD11 cleaner as well, use this after CCleaner.
http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/16915.page (restart after all of this)
Are you running the trial of DVD or have you paid for it ? If you want to purchase some Blu-ray software then stay away from Cyberlink, I use Total MediaTheatre 5 and it's much better.
Also available for free is Power DVD 10 for HP owners, when installed correctly, it's OK, but it's not with out its problems.
If you want to install Power DVD10, then post again.
The other thing that worries me is your Sony drive, I have had many people here that I can't get the Sony drive to read Blu-ray's. I don't know if its firmware is out of date (there is no firmware update) or if the new updated Blu-ray players have become incompatible.
You may be forced to buy a Pioneer or HP Blu-ray reader.

HP Pavilion dv7 MediaSmart Not reading Blu-Rays

Thanks for reading!
I love this notebook however it can't play my Blu-Rays! I think it messed up my Fast 5 Blue-Ray disc..
So I bought a cheap blu-ray movie (thank you Black Friday) and still nothing! It loads up fine until the movie actually plays then nothing happens, for awhile until I open task manager..
here are the specs:
Yes I have the latest MediaSmart update since I've attempted to update but was not available.
It seems others are faced with this problem and have even downloaded different players.
Oh yes one more thing, the DVD player itself works fine. It's just the Blu-Ray player..
Again thanks for reading and will answer any questions..Thank you!

Hi,
If you're using HP MediaSmart DVD to play the Blu ray disc, try the following.
HP now provides a version of Cyberlinks PowerDVD 10 which seems to be a better solution. Download the installer for this on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53029.exe
When the download has completed, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select Uninstall - when this process has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has reloaded, double-click the installer for PowerDVD 10 to start the installation. When this has completed, see if your Blu ray disc now plays OK.

DP-K

Optiarc BD ROM BC-5500S not working properly

Hello everybody!
I have a pavilion dv5 laptop bought about an year and a half ago. The DVD writer/ Bluray reader, Optiarc BD ROM BC-5500S, of this laptop began to not function properly a few months ago. When I resumed the laptop from hibernation or sleep the drive would start emitting a sound as if the optical reading block was stuck and trying to move but couldn't. In this state the drive could not read anything. I looked to see if something was blocking it, but it was clear, wiped it clean, just to be sure and then restarted the laptop. The drive worked!
It happened again a few weeks later and the solution to get it working was to eject the drive and with the drive ejected put the laptop to sleep, close the drive and resume from sleep immediately after. The drive would work this way. This then happened almost every time i resumed from sleep or hibernation. The drive never had any problems when starting the computer after a normal shutdown.
Today the drive had the problem when I started the computer after a shut down and I couldn't get it to work properly no matter what i tried, so i decided to open up the drive and see what was wrong and to clean it a bit better (maybe dust was blocking something). I managed to get the drive to start while it was in the ejected position and saw that the lasers that normally start for a second or so when the drive starts are not starting and the motor just jerks and does not spin ad all, but as i tested everything and nothing is stuck. I managed to get the drive working but just once. Then after ejecting it, no sleep or hibernation, the drive started making the same sound and would not read anything.
Haven't been able to do anything about it.
Although the drive is making this sound and cannot read anything it is recognized by Windows. The laptop has Windows 7 64 bit installed. But the problem happened on 32 bit Windows 7 also.
The warranty on the laptop is gone. Should i start looking for a new drive? Or has anybody had the same issue with the drive and has found a solution to the problem?

Hi,
Same problem with my DV5-1016tx laptop , BD drive is recognized by Windows, but BD ROM BC-5500S drive is making strange sound while try to read any CD/DVD and cannot read any CD/DVD . Even It can't boot using CD/DVD media. seems to BD drive lens failed. Luckily my system under extended warranty. So I am contacting HP service centre,

DVD drive does not play blu-ray

I am wondering if anyone can help me. I have been trying for the last several days to get my DVD drive to read blu-ray's. It is an HP DV-7 1038ca and there is a Blu-Ray symbol on the drive. When I put a BD in the drive, it cannot read it at all and says there is no disc in the drive. It plays regular movies and I have never had any problems with it.
I have taken some of the earlier suggestions to people with similar problems. I tried Matz_Run.dvd.exe and it told me I had a problem. It said I can read HD-ROM but it would not recognize the disc in the drive. I dried some Cyberlink software to detect BD and BD-3D technology (I forget what it was called) and it said that everything except "software" was functioning. I have loaded the latest HP Quickplay and that did not work. Then I saw that Mediasmart's latest version was actually the replacement. I downloaded Mediasmart from the HP website (as I did not have it before this), then I installed it and upgraded it to the latest edition directly within the software. My computer still refuses to acknowledge there is a disc in the drive when I put an HD disc in. The discs I am trying to read is a 4-part series from BBC vvideo called PLANET EARTH. I have no other BluRay discs currently at my disposal. I even tried changing the country code just in case and this did not work.
Then I tried Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 Ultra Mark II as this also seems to have BD capability, but same thing, total failure. With the Cyberlink detection program, I get the idea that it works, but perhaps it does not. Is it possible that my BD laser is malfunctioning? Is there any way to check? Or perhaps the issue is something else (other than frustrating). I am running Windows 7 Home 64-bit. I am using MS Security Essentials for protection and Spybot S&D. I cannot think of any other specs to give you at this time, so feel free to ask if I left something out.
Please help.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Does the drive still recognise and play DVDs and CDs? If so, I'm afraid it does look like this may be a hardware issue with the BD laser.
One further thing to try is to open the drive and carefully clean both lenses and check again, but if this doesn't help, you may want to start considering replacing the Drive.

HP desktop computer can not play Blu-ray DVDs. Who is responsible for this?

In 2010, I blought an HP Pavilion Elite HPE 250-f desktop computer (running Windows 7). This computer was advertised as having a Blu-ray DVD player, as well as players for regular DVDs and CDs. All these years, I've been successfully playing regular DVDs and CDs. Until now, I have not attempted to play a Blu-ray DVD.
I recently rented the "Divergent" Blu-ray DVD (as well as the "Divergent" regular DVD) from my local library. When I tried to play the Blu-ray DVD, the HP MediaSmart software and the Windows Media Player detected the Blu-ray but were not able to play the Blu-ray.
I then downloaded the Media Player Codec Pack, http://download.cnet.com/Media-Player-Codec-Pack/3000-13632_4-10749065.html    This Codec Pack was supposed to help Windows Media Player play the Blu-ray. That did not work. When I got rid of the Codec Pack using System Restore, HP MediaSmart and Windows Media Player became unable to detect the Blu-ray in the Blu-ray drive. After another System Restore, HP MediaSmart and Windows Media Player were once again able to detect the Blu-ray (but were still unable to play the Blu-ray).
I then downloaded Cyberlink PowerDVD 14, which played the Blu-ray for only about 7 seconds before crashing. I then got rid of Cyberlink PowerDVD 14 with a System Restore.
I downloaded TotalMedia Theatre version 6.0.1.123. However, this software did not detect the Blu-ray. I then got rid of TotalMedia Theatre with a System Restore. After that, I was not able to play ANYTHING, including CDs and regular DVDs. CDs and regular DVDs were not being detected by playing software. After another System Restore, I was once again able to play CDs and regular DVDs. However, I do not want to risk trying to play the Blu-ray again.
So, what's going on here? HP advertised this computer as having a Blu-ray DVD player. Wasn't HP responsible for providing software that could play Blu-ray DVDs? And why is the Blu-ray DVD, sometimes detected, and sometimes not detected, by playing software? Is there some kind of hardware issue?
Who is responsible for the fact that my computer can not play Blu-ray DVDs? HP, for bad playing software and/or bad hardware? Or is there something in the Windows 7 operating system that prevents the playing of Blu-ray DVDs? Is Microsoft responsible?
Thanks for any information.

You're not going to get any help from HP or Microsoft on a 4 year old computer.   Maybe your optical drive is no longer able to play Bluray discs. Windows 7 Media Center with Bluray playback was not included in all versions of Windows 7. Each computer with Bluray has an individual license; yours may have expired after not using it for 4 years. Best advice - don't flog a dead horse. Just get regular DVDs.

Encore CS4 does not recognize Blue Ray External Driver

I just bought a LG blue ray external drive writer which comes with Cyberlinks SW. From Premiere, I opened Encore to burn (build) a sequence on the LG Blue-Ray burner, but it does not work: - In En Project setting, the “Player” is grayed-out and only “Adobe Player” is displayed. - In En Build tab, when I choose the Format as Blue Ray and Output as Blue Ray Disk, the Build button is grayed out and Recorder shows None Found. However when I change the Format to DVD, the Build settings automatically change and the Recorder LG Blue Ray is shown. How do I make En to recognize the LG Blue Ray and burn in Blue ray format? Thanks, Vlad.

There are many threads in the Encore forum regarding reasons that burners are not seen. Most of these problems can be traced back to specific software, and most of the rest have to do with how the hardware is set up. You can find most of these in the main forum, and the Burning DVD sub-forum, with a Search.
First thing that I'd check is that your OS sees your hardware. In Windows, Control Panel>System>Device Manager. Check here (or within your OS) to make sure that it's just not a bad installation.
Good luck,

Premiere elements 11 does not recognize blu ray burner

Purchased Pawtec external blu ray burner. Premiere elements 11 recognizes it as a dvd burner but not a blu ray burner. How can I fix this?

Long160
There is no burn to folder for Blu-ray in Premiere Elements (any version), so we cannot use that escape route. What has been used in the past as a workaround for this "no burn to folder for Blu-ray" is creating a Blu-ray disc image with Premiere Elements in conjunction with a virtual Blu-ray burner with a virtual BD-RE disc. I have written about that in the following blog post
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/11/pe12-disc-imagephantom-burner-pe.html
But, as for the Pawtec external Blu-ray burner being recognized in the Premiere Elements 11 burner location in burn to Blu-ray,
a. you may just have an external Blu-ray burner that is not compatible with Premiere Elements
b. you could try for a Premiere Elements 11 uninstall/reinstall going the route of Deactivation with in the program (Help Menu/Deactivate), uninstall via regular Control Panel route, ccleaner run through (https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner), reinstall.
Have you tried another USB port? Does the Blu-ray burner require one or two USB connections to have enough power for functioning?
Also, do you have all you operating system updates?
More later.

Windows 8 media center does not see blu ray

G'day - Setup is a BDP-3100, a laptop w/ Windows8.1, a Synology server and a panasonic TV. All are DLNA. The blu-ray can see the laptop as a DLNA server and the laptop can see the Blu Ray is on the home group Windows Media play can see the Synology server and the TV; it does not list the Blu-Ray MY GOAL: I no longer own a CD-ROM. Trying to copy photos off of a CD using the Blu-ray. Oh, and actually playing Blu-rays on the laptop would be nice. What am I missing?

Hello twalsh99, thank you for your message. Welcome to SONY Community!
Unable to play, stream, or throw media content using the DLNA feature
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the Internet video device is connected to an active Internet connection.
Make sure that the latest system software update has been performed on the Internet video device.
The words play, stream, or throw are used to describe sending media over a DLNA® network from one device to another. Use this solution if you have set-up your DLNA Certified® devices according to the instruction manual or help file of each device and you are still experiencing difficulty getting your DLNA network to function.
1. Is the Media Server, Media Server Software and Client Device all DLNA Certified?
If the answer is Yes go to Step 2.
If the answer is No replace the device with a DLNA Certified device.
NOTE: Not all products are DLNA Certified devices guaranteed to work in every DLNA network.
Are the Media Server and Client Device on the same network? If they are on the same network, the Client Device will be able to see the Media Server as in the following example:
NOTE: You can also do the same check from the Media Server file sharing application. Refer to the supplied operations guide or help files for information on how to check and see if the Client device is listed in the screen.
If the answer is Yes go to Step 3.
If the answer is No follow the sub-steps below:
1. Confirm that the devices are connected to the same network. This can be done by doing an IPCONFIG check using a computer. In locations where there are several different Wi-Fi networks close to each other, one device could actually connected to different network.
2. Make sure that the Firewall settings on the router are not preventing the Media Server from seeing the client device. Refer to the instructions supplied with the Router or contact your Internet service provider for assistance.
3. Reset the router.
4. If the router has the UPnP setting turned On, try turning it Off and reboot the router.
5. If the router has the IGMP snooping setting turned On, try turning it Off and reboot the router.
Can the Client Device see the Media Server?
If the answer is Yes, go to Step 5.
If the answer is No try the following:
1. Refresh the Internet services feature on the client device.
2. Verify that the maximum number of servers on the Client device has not been met. If the number has been exceeded remove other Media Servers. Refer to the manual supplied with the Client device for further information.
3. Run the Network Diagnostic or Troubleshooting feature of the Client Device.
4. Power cycle the Client Device, the Router and the Media server by turning each one off and then removing the power cord for 1 minute.
NOTE: Always refresh or rescan the Client Device to search for media servers after making any of the changes listed above.
4. Can the Media Server see the Client Device?
If the answer is Yes, go to Step 5.
If the answer is No try the following:
1. Check the firewall settings on the routerto make sure that it is not preventing the Media Server from seeing the Client Device.
2. Make sure the Client Device was set-up correctly.
3. If using a wireless connection, make sure that the Internet signal is not being interrupted or lost. Refer to the manual or help files for the Internet speed requirements.
NOTE: A Wired connection is recommended to reduce interference or loss in speed.
5. Can you see the file you want to play from the Client Device?
If the answer is Yes, go to Step 6.
If the answer is No try the following:
1. Confirm all necessary settings are enabled on your Media Service Device. The following solutions will provide assistance when using a Windows 7 PC:
How to set up and troubleshoot a home network.
How to set up a DLNA server.
If the Client Device being used is a computer, try temporarily disabling firewall and virus protection Through the firewall or Security Suite application. Some firewall and virus scanners can control the access of the computer input and output.
6. The media file is listed on the play list but will not play.
Download the sample files to the Media Server and confirm that it plays.
NOTE: If the device is able to play one of these files, then the media file being used may not be formatted in a manner that is supported by the Client device. DLNA supports specific file formats or profiles. Media files that do not match the profiles are not supported.
If you are still experiencing problems, we also suggest trying another Media Server software such as Serviio, Skifta, Twonky. Or another Media Server and repeat the set-up process.

Blue Ray disk created using premiere 10 does not show menus

I have a video project with a main menu and 5 scene menus. I burn the project (using premiere Elements 10) to a Blue-ray disc using preset H.264 1920x1080i PAL Dolby with quality option set to "Fit Contents to available space" . The software happily creates the disc with 17.6GB of data (main stream, 00000.m2ts is 18,413,568 KB (17.5GB) and 6 small streams for main & scene menus.
However, when this disc is reinserted into the drive, it does not automatically start with the main menu.
If I burn the same project to a DVD with PAL_Widescreen_DolbyDVD preset with quality option set to "Fit Contents to available space", it creates the DVD which, when reinserted into the drive, starts automatically with the main menu.
The environment is Wndows 7 64bit with SONY BD RW BWU-500S ATA Device .
What do I need to do to get the Blue Ray disc to start with the main menu?

Please review the blog post. It will give an idea of some of the issues involved.

W500 Blu-Ray Mat**bleep**a BD-MLT UJ232A will not recognize Blu-Ray DVD movie

Recently purchased W500 4061- W6U with Mat$hita BD-MLT UJ232A optical drive at Firmware level "TC02" will not recognize a brand new Blu-Ray DVD. But will recognize and play a normal (non-Blu-Ray) DVD. The system sees the Blu-Ray optical drive and shows it is working normally. I attended to update the firmware, but the Lenovo Optical Disc Drive Firmware Update 1.6 utility, states the firmware is already at the current level and under the header New Firmware states "None". Any ideas? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It has nothing to do with the drive.
Blu-ray movies are encrypted using keys. Hackers break the keys. So new Blu-ray movies then come out using new keys. WinDVD (your Blu-ray playing software) contains the keys, and needs to be updated. So see if there's a WinDVD update available from Lenovo's site. If not, then you'll have to pester Lenovo to get a new update from Corel. You can't get the update from Corel yourself.
Or you can simply buy a better Blu-ray player program, such as Cyberlink PowerDVD.
Good luck!

Premiere elements does not recognize Blu-Ray disc, says media not present. Under 12 I was able to record 3 blu-ray dvds using the same burner and discs I'm trying with 13. What is the problem?

I installed PE13 and cannot burn blu-ray DVDs. I was able to burn 3 blu-ray DVDs using PE12. When I select DVD from the menu it recogniazes that it is not a stadard DVD as I get an 'incorrect media' error message. It will burn standard DVDs of the same video using standard DVD mefia.
What is going on here?
When I loaded PE 12 back on the computer I cannot load a file created with PE13. Looks like a format change? Can I convert file back to PE12?

Dual 1.8 PowerPC G5 does not read Tiger Install Disk

Has anyone else had problems with their Mac not reading the OSX Tiger 10.4 install disks? I just purchased Tiger brand new from Apple, but my Mac Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 will not even acknowledge the install disk. I currently have OSX 10.3.9 running. Help!

Either your Tiger disc is defective or your optical drive is. Can you read other CDs in the same drive? If so, contact Apple to arrange for a replacement CD.
