Dvds wont play in dvd rom on travel mate 2480

Hi,

Try to run the following hyperlink

Hyperlink to microsoft automatic assistance

Hyperlink to Cd drive autofix

If it doesnt work then try following steps:

1. loadTOCNode(2, 'resolution'); Click Start, and then click Run. (in case of windows 7 click start, look for search program and files , type in there regedit and hit ok, jump to step 3)
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

1. In the right pane, click UpperFilters.
   
   Note You may also see an UpperFilters.bak registry entry. You do not have to remove that entry. Click UpperFilters only. If you do not see the UpperFilters registry entry, you still might have to remove the LowerFilters registry entry. To do this, go to step 7.
2. On the Edit menu, click Delete.
3. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
4. In the right pane, click LowerFilters. (dont panic if you dont see lower filter)
   
   On the Edit menu, click Delete. (or simply right click and select delete)
5. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
6. Exit Registry Editor.
7. Restart the computer

It sounds to me like the DVD ROM in your computer has the problem playing it's DVDs, so what happens when you play it in another Computer with it's DVD ROM?

1. your device is not a 'DVD-ROM' device, nor a 'CD-RW/DVD-ROM' combo device.
2. you need software, such as the free 'VLD' software, to decode the DVD, and to "play" the video.
3. your DVD-disk is scratched -- will it play in some other computer or stand-alone DVD-player?

The computer has to be told to play the play the CD or DVD automatically if that is what you want. Go to the Control Panel, and find Hardware and Sound, look around for the DVD and CD settings, and change them to play automatically.

Try re-installing your the driver for your dvd rom. Then try to put different dvds and check if it can read from your drive. If problem remains, I suspected it's your dvd rom is faulty

your DVD ROM lens has became weak.
and it cannot be repaired.
But if you manage to open the DVD ROM clean the dust in it & it will start working again but be careful remember that no power should be attached to ROM.
or you can buy a lens cleaner from market and try that.
pls rate my solution
thankyou

First of all you'll need a DVD-Rom Player. If you go to my computer and you see the drives you have. Drive C and

DVD-Rom station or CD-rom Station.
If it's not listed you don't have a DVD-rom player and you can never play dvd's unless you work with images and image drive software like daemon tools or alcohol 120%.

If you do have a DVD-rom player you can play dvd's with Cyberlink Powerdvd or BS-player. Even with Windows Media Player.

It depends on the operating system you have.

Hope this was helpfull. If questions i am happy to answer.

I recently got my computer fixed and in order to fix it they had to clear everything off my computer so it was like a new one when i got it back but now it wont play my dvds

try a CDROM cleaning disk.

in order to play a DVD you need to have a software dvd player Like WIN DVD, otherwise DVDs will not play
