    same issues - No drivers

    I am in the same boat with you... I downloaded Driver Dectective at www.driverfiles.net. After running the program it says "



    "Your Driver is a system driver. System drivers are installed natively by the Windows Operating System and do not require updating. If you are having a problem with a system driver you may contact us via Ask a question. "



    Don't really know what else to do...

    Thinkpad t23, Toshiba SD C2512 reading DVD but not Cd. Any solution?

  • harishrawat Feb 26, 2008

    mine is same problem my dvd rom is of matishta

  • Notrek Mar 02, 2008

    Searched all over the net and reinstalled rom driver which turned out to be the same as original anyway. DVD-r and prerecorded dvds work fine but any kind of cd doesn't seem to read and I get the same error as the other guys here where it says the cd is corrupt etc but definately nothing wrong with disks - all ok in other machines. Despite DVD movies running fine Audio CDs dont play even with windows media player.

    System is a second hand IBM Thinkpad T21 with Toshiba SD C2512 DVD Drive. Running Win XP.



    Love your advice



    Thanks Geoff

    mam ten sam problem nie chce mi czytac p??yt cd tylko dvd


  • HoratioH Apr 03, 2009

    Had the same problem. Tried solution #1 and it worked!!!
    To do this you have to remove the shiny bottom plate (3 screws) and the pots are under a flexible flat cable. Wasn't sure which was 1 and which was 2 so arbitrarily decided 2 was on the right (with front of player with eject button towards me and the back with the plug in connector away from me). 1/8 turn CW and Voila!! Thanks carloscdr!!!!!

Solution for CD-rom problem: turn CW the second little potentiometer with a tiny screwdriver, just a little and try to read a CD, if it doesnt work then try turn the potentiometer again. the same solution for DVD-rom but with the first potentiometer.

  • doerrhoefer Nov 09, 2010

    You need the right tools and a fine hand. But it works. Mark the poti with an ink pen before you start, so you know there it was. Turn only one poti 1/8 clockwise and try DVD and CD after reassembly. If no change found, start from the beginning. Change only one poti at the time. If you catch the wrong poti you can return.

My dvd rom will read a copied cd but not a burnt one. I don't know why.

It may be that it does not read either -R OR +R If you have Nero Info you can check the specs for
your drive or it might be just be a case of a bad cd try different brands .some brands don't work as well as others

The cd rom cann't read any type of cd

pls try to clean the lens of the drive as follows

due to dusty environment and excessive use lens gets dusty and then have problems in reading or writing dvd 's and cd's

open the dvd tray u can see that shiny eye like thing try cleaning th lens gently in round movement with a tissue paper or very soft cloth used to clean lcd screens or cotton bud good quality see if it works , other wise ur DVD drive lens got weak from use now adays service centers are getting tons of them everyday for replacements

pls find a dvd drive OPTIARC is the best brand till date TOSHIBA is nice and NEC , MATSHITA is the worst brand i have ever seen gets faulty within 3 months of normal use

pls do rate me FIXYA if i fixed what u wanted

DVd-rom replaced but not working properly

check the copyright settings on it, most dvd's have that so people don't bootleg it and re-sell it, check to see if there is any scratches on it, check for dirt, or take it to customer support and get a new one

Need driver for 8x dvd drive for thinkpad

When a properly inserted and working drive is connected, it is automatically discoveredand installed. Specific drivers are not necessary or available. I will assume you are not talking about a DVD viewer application?

If the OS does not discover the drive, then the drive is likely defective, or not properly connected.

Having a trouble with my DVD-ROM - IBM ThinkPad T42

Internal the pickup assy. (the laser) there are three components that read the discs, one for DVD one for CD and one for the DVD-ROM its likely that the DVD-ROM laser has gone out. Take the drive out and get the part number and look it up online on ebay or the like :-)
