I have a tsstcop dvd+- RW ts-h653f cd drive and all of a sudden the system isn't recognizing it?

Most likely a problem with the reader on the CD/DVD Drive.

Very easy to swap out a different CD/DVD Drive. Add the new device and see if that resolves the issue.

If you are runny windows 7, this will most likely not work due to compatibility issues. If you are running XP this problem will not occur. The only solution to use this drive would be downgrade to a different operating system or a different computer. If this is not an option. Get a new drive.

You can get it on ebay for $35 with free shipping here: http://cgi.ebay.com/24X10X24-SAMSUNG-CD-RW-DVD-IDE-NOTEBOOK-TS-L462A-/170606954767?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item27b8f7890f
There is also this drive, that is the same model number, but apparently from Toshiba, which is $29 including shipping: http://cgi.ebay.com/TS-L462A-NEW-Toshiba-Satellite-L10-CD-RW-DVD-Drive-/190499638106?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item2c5aa9cb5a#ht_3938wt_1139

You are on the right track. Every "multi-format" DVD recorder, DVD burner and DVD-RW drive I have ever owned has had problems with one type of media or another. This is because the discs all have their own patented dye mixtures, and each is a little bit different.

I have problems using Memorex DVD-R discs on my Toshiba DVD recorder. The only drive I can get good results with Memorex DVD-R's is on my Memorex DVD drive.

For DVD-R media, I have had the best success with TDK DVD-R's.So far, they have worked on all my devices.

You may want to try DVD+R media. I use Memorex Lightscribe DVD+R and for dual layer recording, I use Ativa DVD+R DL discs, both of which have worked very well and I rarely have to throw one away.

It takes allot longer, but on my PC I always use the "verify" function to make sure I get a good copy.

you can open it by using 1mm pin....check the front of DVD panel and you will see a tiny hole near the button...insert the pin and push until the DVD discard...

yes of course lol :)

use this tool to reset the cd in the registry
after you run the file - reboot the computer -

Have you tried a CD/RW? let me know.


Thx

Try to use dvd cleaner disk to clean the lens, if it doesnot work, i think you have to replace your drive , this happens with Dell alot. but try to clean it, uninstall then install the driver back and check if its work.

This is due to the cracked disc is damage the sensor inside your cd-rw/dvd drive. If still under waranty, you can send it to warranty claim. If it's over warranty, then you have to replace with a new one.
