Laptop keeps shutting off,fan is very loud my dvd drive is not reading disc

Bearing in the spindle damaged or worn, throwing the disc into an erratic motion, optical laser cannot then read the disc with any accuracy. You need to replace the drive

This issue occurs due to corrupt registry settings.
Run Microsoft Fix it to remove drive limits. You can find the fix in the HP website provided below:

Also reinstall the CD/DVD drive drivers from device manager. If the drive still makes loud noise when any disc is inserted, then it states that it has gone bad. If u r under warranty contact HP to get a free replacement.

Sounds like something is stuck inside of your Wii's DVD Drive... someone may have stuck something in the slot? Coins? credit card? paper? Etc... sounds like this is preventing the disc from being read properly. Either this, or something inside of the drive has become broken.

The following website sells the DVD drive mechanisms and does repairs on the Wii as well:

Hmm! take it back to the dealers under warrranty seems like a good idea ?

what disc your using to boot?
just leave bootable disc in the dvd drive such as OS and drivers dell disc.
power off then on the laptop keep tap on F12 then select onboard CD/DVD ROM then press enter then tap space bar.
if still not reading any disc then have you dvd drive replace.

Hi,

The Console is not able To read The Disk.
First Try A DVD Movie ?
Then A Music/Audio CD ?
If it reads either Or Both Of These, the Dual-Layer Laser Has Failed, Which powers up with increase To read Dual-Layer ( X-Box 360 Games ) A New Or Replacement DVD Drive, Will Be Required.

Shut the machine down. Find the original CD or a retail OS X installation DVD. Start the machine up and immediately hold down the option key. You will see a icon of your hard drive. Now insert the CD or DVD. If it immediately spits out, your optical drive needs replacement. If it does not, click on the U-shaped arrow button to rescan the drives. If the CD/DVD does not show up, your optical drive needs replacement. If it does, choose it and boot from it. If this actually works, you may have a software problem -- this is low probability, but possible.
Keep in mind that the CD and DVD read heads are separate. If one of those is malfunctioning, your drive will accept CDs but not DVDs, or vice versa. If you see this behavior, your optical drive needs replacement.

Hey,

just looking at the specifications, it should work with All CD's and Read Normal DVD discs, the movies that you can rent and buy from any store but it appears its a combo drive (Cd burner, and a DvD reader) It will only read DVD-rom and maybe few other things but it wont play any r or rw dvd's. It might also read already burned dvd r and rw discs but it wont read a empty one.

if it won't read any dvd's it could be a dirty lens. here's a video on the cleaning, its annoyingly loud but shows how to clean the lens with rubbing alcohol.

may want to turn the volume down in advance:

its for a ps2 but the drive is basically the same, and you would clean the lens in the same way.

let me know how that goes.
Thanks,

I'm inclined to believe something is going on with the DVD drive, perhaps a I/O cable or driver issue, it just seems like what you said about the drive sounding like it's trying to read is a clue, what I would try if you have not already ,is since you said you can get to get to the Bios usually the default for boot sequence is CD/DVD drive first unless you change it, see if you can change the boot sequence from DVD drive first to HDD first and see if you can bypass it, then it might just boot, if that works then that was the cause,I see no other reason why the Drive should be trying to read other than the boot sequence. if not then it might be more complicated and could be a hardware issue somewhere,

Hoep this helps.

the humming noice is the dvd spinning trying to read the disc so we know that works take it apart and see if the laser is working d{dont look in the laser} and if that works take a q-tip and lightly wipe off the laser lightly move the laser up and down to make sure its not stuck and try to see if it works then
ps keep it off the carpit
