20 Most Recent Sony CRX835E CD-RW/DVD-ROM (Combo) Burner - Page 3 Questions & Answers

sorry frn, your write lens of DVD is full of dust or it may be damage, so use Lens clener to clean the lens. and try to copy the cd. ok byee

yes frn this is happen due to the jam in the DVD rom. when you press the eject button put one pin in the hole that is just below the eject button. so that you can eject your DVD. or just hit the cd ROM slowly. 

Hello Sir,It will be much cheaper to buy a new one.
Greetings,

You want to go on control panel and go to add hardware.You want to chek your c: drive or d: drive yet you will not find you want to setup your harddisc.It is the only half an hour work.

only read cd not write or copy .

the combo drive you listed above is a cd-rw/ DVD-ROM....meaning that it will play and burn cd, cd-r, and cd-rw disks. the dvd rom will only be able to play dvd-rom and dvd-r disks providing they are in the proper format. check that the disk in question is not a dvd-rw or (+2) disk. the drive will not recognize that a disk is in the drive if the disk isnt compatable. try a dvd movie, if that works then a dvd-r, if that works then try a dvd-rw +1. if the last option doesnt work then you will have to stick with the dvd-rom and dvd-r, or purchase a dvd-rw drive to install.

GOOD LUCK AND DONT FORGET TO RATE MY POST!! :D

Hi to all.

My Sony CRX835E CD-RW (combo drive, writes to cd's, and plays dvd's) suddenly vanished from my computer and was not showing in my devices.
This is my cd drive for my LAPTOP.
So, as you can imagine, i wanted nothing more than to open her up, check all cabling was working/plugged in correctly, but being a laptop made it a little harder, seeing as i have never opened a laptop up.
That was going to be my last resort, seeing as it has run out of warranty.
Anyway, would like to inform both laptop users and pc users of the few solutions that can fix the vanishing cd drives.

First, check in device manager to see if it is showing there. If it is then it more that likely will have a yellow symbol next to it, saying it isnt working correctly. IN THIS CASE, it more often than not is a BIOS problem which can be caused by installing or uninstalling various differnt software, E.g nero, powerdvd, etc.

3 things you can try here.

1.
First off, quickest and easiest is to UNINSTALL the device from device manager. Then refresh the device manager. This will check again for any new plug and play hardware not installed.
Once that has done, and the drive is installed, the problem will hopefully be fixed.
If not, than try number 2.

2.
You proberly would have by now read of changing/deleting the values of UPPER/LOWER FILTERS in a specified pathway. There is a detailed walkthrough of how to do that on this site, so try this step, it has fixed alot of errors.

3.
Now this is another quick and easy way to try to solve the problem, and as far as i can understand the program pretty much does the same as option 2, but makes it alot easier for people with only a little knowledge of computers.
The site is called WWW.DOUGKNOX.COM
On that site, there is something called nocd/dvd fix. Give it a whirl, fast, easy and may work for you.

IF YOUR DEVICE MANAGER DOES NOT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF THE DRIVE THAT HAS GONE MISSING FROM MY COMPUTER, THESE STEPS ABOVE WILL DO NOTHING!!!

If your device manager does not show your drive, then you MUST check the cabling, making damn sure it is all plugged in correctly. Once you have done that and still no sign of a drive, then it means your drive has proberly died, and needs replacing.

Now, if you own a laptop which has gone out of warranty then i recommend if you choose to check the cabling, get someone who knows what they are doing to do that task for you.

MY SOLUTION.
My drive was not showing in device manager, and my last resort was to open my laptop and check everything. Just as i was about to go and grab my screwdriver set, a slight moment of rage overtook me. I opened my drive draw, pushed the drive door closed until it stopped, than i CARRIED ON pushing the drive, and i felt it move ever so slightly, and then i heard a click.

Amazingly this worked, and my drive is now recognised again.
I appreciate that this..erm...method, is not a method most people would try. But just in case everything else fails, give it alittle push, thats all mine took.

Thanks for reading, and hope i have been of some help.

Now i spent alot of time myself going through all these methods, then going through them again, and again, litterally pulling my hair out trying to fix my problem.

that is b/c you only have an CDRW/DVD ROM (from your title). You need a DVD+-R to be able to write to a dvd+ - R disk.

the XP driver really should work appropriately. I might assume that the drive is damaged (which happens to me frequently with older DVD drives).

HAI,REPLACE THE OPTICAL PICKUP LENCE

could be a manufacturer's program glitch that will not allow you to see some cds or dvds. it does happen to some brand such as asus dvd/player. they are very choosy when it comes to the kind of disk you try to put in

no this is not true but there is a hidden file on the bios chip and on the harddrive im told and all hardware must match these two drives or pc wont boot this is second hand info by the way regards

the capacitors in side on the amp have gone weak. it has noticed the fault and is telling you. check the capacitors look for any sight of problems look for the end being popped up and brow-black gunk on the board around them tackie to the touch and change them. also give the boards a good clean out using a new paint brush sweep the dust out.

We can't helpwith that but you could contact your software supplier and ask for a copy.

Why do they need to be turned on all the time? If your using them as security cameras they are not designed for that job. The 330 could be overheating because of the constant use. Some cameras have a built in 'Overheat' switch which could be switching it off. These cameras are designed for short periods of use, recording things like parties and holiday trips. How old are these handycams? These do get old and the technology in them can wear out if in constant use.

Depending on your location. You have to go to a computer accessories closest to you. Yes you can definitely get it.
