TEAC CD/DVD problems
Hmm, sounds different to the usual problems I've come across but try this:
Paste the following into a new text document and "Save As..." type "All Files (*.*)" and call it "DVD Fix.bat"
@ECHO OFF
REG DELETE "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" /v "UpperFilters /f > NUL
ECHO Press any key to restart the computer.
PAUSE > NUL
Shutdown.exe -r -t 0 -f -c "UpperFilters reg key removed to fix CD/DVD-ROM" -d p:2:3
Run the file and restart your computer when prompted.
If you're trying to write to a blank disc, make sure in the drive's properties that you have recording/burning enabled. If you do, try re-installing your CD/DVD burning suite. If you didn't have one, try a system restore.
If this doesn't work or you've disable system restore, you can go into hardware manager and roll-back the driver. If you don't have a roll-back available. uninstall the driver and restart your computer. A default Windows driver should then install.
Check the drive is physically performing - does it load/eject the disc? Does it spin-up? Are you able to read any discs?
I you have any further problems, it would help if we had the model name of your laptop.

It could be a problem with the lens, you should try cleaning the lens, it's already gone bad there is no harm in trying

Problem is that my DVD
Download VLC (google it) for free, see if that plays the dvd. Most likely your player has an issue, VLC plays ANYTHING (pretty much!) without issue.
If that doesnt work then you'll have a problem with the actual drive.
When checking device manager is says the register
Backup all your important files.and emails
Try a Restore Point. Restore back past when the reg started error messages.
If unsucessful, sorry, means a complete reinstall/setup installation, but al least you will have saved your important docs, remebering to save to removable HD.
Need to replace the dvd
Hi a6291,
Your need to post back the model number of your presario, there must be 2000 different presario's out there. Typically, you need to take off the back panel, and then just two screws, but I won't know where the two screws are located until I know the model.
Thanks
Mark
