Problem for HP Compaq Presario V2000 PC Notebook
Laptop CD/DVD Drive
I have a problem with my CD/DVD drive on my Presario laptop. About 8 months ago, my computer mysteriously stopped recognizing the drive. Then, as mysteriously as the problem arose, about a month later the drive started working again and all was fine. Then, about a month ago, the drive stopped working again, meaning I cannot use this drive at all.
The disc drive is still getting power, and I can open and close the drive without problem, but it is not recognized. Any solutions? I am a graduate student and quite anxious to burn the large amount of material on my computer to a back up CD.
Thanks for your help!

- I read on another forum to try and delete the cd/dvd driver (go to control panel and then device manager, then locate the cd driver) and then re-start your computer and this should get it back to working. If not, then you probably need a new driver. i tried to do this to my twice, but it still does not work.):- GuestMay 29, 2008

I had the exact same symptoms on my Compaq Presario 1700 laptop. I replace the DVD/CD drive with the 3-1/2 inch drive which worked ok. I therefore reasoned that the problem is not in the laptop but in the DVD/CD drive. Upon removing the cover and the plastic frame, I discovered there is an adapter plug that shifts the internal drive connector over to mate with the internal laptop connector. This drive is very flimsy, and I reasoned that this adaptor could lose contact if flexed often enough when loading CD's. The adaptor is held in by two screws through the plastic frame. I removed the adaptor and cleaned all pins on it and the drive connector with a good quality contact cleaner/lubricant and reassembled it. The drive worked perfectly. I tried the same trick on a used DVD/CD drive I purchased to replace my "faulty" drive that turned out to have the same problem. After having payed $100 for it. After cleaner/lubricant on the adaptor connectors, it also was restored to operation. Maybe I was just lucky with these drives but it may be worth a try.

I had the same problem on a sony vaio. What worked for me was to shut the laptop down, remove the cd-rom module and clean the connections with a soft bristled paint brush and put it back firmly in place. restart. All it was was a connection problem.

Most CD/DVD drives have a small hole in the face plate that allows you to insert a paperclip-sized object to open the drive. Just press it straight in until you feel it depress a button, and the drive should open. If it doesn't work after that, it may be dead.
