T5254 I purchased the machine last Thursday. Everything was fine until yesterday. Cd Rom now will not work. I went into control panel and found the device listed. However there is a message that Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37). I tried uninstalling the device, rebooted to have the system add the hardware, and found the same problem and error message.

Check the door switch, it could be a loose wire or broken door latch switch.

need upgrade software to cd or you need new cd drive to read new game
cheers

Take the line out of the fax and put it in a telephone,if u hear a dail tone its the fax and if not its the phone line!I am allmost sure there are fuses on the fax board that can be bridged!Good Luck!

check the following

Microsoft Volume Control or your mixer program mute options and volume sliders.
Connect headphones to the stereo phone jack on your CD-ROM drive’s front panel; adjust the volume control settings on the drive. If there is sound from your headphones, check the CD audio cable connection from the CD-ROM drive to the audio card.
Ensure the speakers are properly connected to the audio card’s output connector.

hope this can help

goodluck

Go to this webpage and you will be able to solve the problem. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060#letmefixit Basicallly, you'll be resetting the registry to recognize your CD ROM again. Be SURE TO FOLLOW STEP BY STEP. Print the instructions first so that you don't lose your place.

tyhere should be a pin hole in cd drive u insert a pin into to allow you to open the drive but what i suggest open the tower disconnect power to drive turn on comp then turn off then reinsert power to it then turn comp on to have it re reconize it or you can go control panel>settings>device manager(hardware manager) in there uninstall the cd drive then restart comp if this no fix find your cd rom drive updated drivers from their website if still no work buy a new one they not expensive

If this is a problem that just occurred and until now it has worked, my first step would be to check that the hardware, (the CD drive) is still functioning and that the software, (the drivers) are still installed and not corrupted. First go to the start button, then control panel, then performance and maintainance,go to system, and then hardware. Look for DVD/CD ROM drives, if you have more than one CD or DVD drive, point and left click on the plus symbol to the left of DVD/CD ROM Drives. Point and left click on the drive in question to highlight it then go to action, scroll down to properties and left click. This window should say that the device is working properly and also at the bottom of this window, under device usage it sould say "use this device, enable". If all of this seems to be working so far, the drive itself should be good.If there have been error messages, there is an option on the last window that opened to troubleshoot. Use it. If so far, everything looks good, now check that the drivers are good. Follow all of the above steps up until you open the device manager and point to the drive in question, go to action. This time scroll down to update driver and left click. A window will open that says " welcome to the hardware update wizard". Point and highlight the circle that says" no,not this time" regarding connecting to the internet to search for a driver. If this device has been working, the driver should still be on your hard drive. Follow the wizard prompts. If at the end of the wizard you are informed that a better match could not be found, then most likely the drivers are still good for this device. If after checking both the hardware and the software, you saw no errors and everything looked as though it were operating, the problem may be more than you can solve without some repair expertise.

Hi...there,

But of course...it's can. Asked him if the LCD Monitor got any power (a green light on) If it has, switch cables, if it have a DVI connection used that cable and see if it work. Still had a problems...Then the backlight is burnt out. Have a nice day!
