  1. CD/DVD Malfunction


    Hi. I own a Toshiba Satellite laptop Model 550t-c with a Matshita UJ8G2 CD/DVD drive. The drive is recognized by the computer (in both Device Manager and Windows Explorer) , is receiving power, but just won't read/recognize any CD or DVDs. Can't find an updated driver and was wondering if the drive just went bad or if it's associated with a Windows update. Any ideas?

    :)

    CD/DVD player malfunctioning

    I burned an audio file to disk with my cd/dvd player/burner.

    A week later, I went to burn another small audio file.

    I clicked Start burn in WMP and nothing happened.

    The cd player became unresponsive. No lights, wouldn't open. Nothing.

    I ran sfc /scannow - no integrity violations.

    No yellow icons in Device manager

    I ran hardware troubleshooter and it said it updated the software and to reboot the machine.

    When back up, instead of the "CD/DVD Drive" - it's now just a "CD Drive"

    When I double click on it, "You do not have sufficient right to perform this operation".

    It did open and close with the light working when I rebooted, but after I tried to burn again, it

    s non responsive again.

    This has been one malfunction after another.
