My toshiba a15's cd/dvd rom can't read dvd's anymore. it used to. is it just a setup thing? thanks

Do you have sound at all, or just not when you play a CD or video DVD?
Fist thing to check is if your audio drivers are installed and working properly.
If necessary, find and install the right sound driver for the computer.
There are some more things to try to fix sound in Windows, hope that helps.

Sorry, but this device does not burn DVDs. It just reads them.

The problem will be in a lens of the driver of your computer.

Try to clean by any lens cleaner cd and check it

If then also it is not working means contact service person and submit for repair

ok follow the link below to get the installation files cd...
But be sure to use your original

try re-installing the device drivers to sort the problem

try doing this.. go to your bios and change the boot sequence and select the dvd/cd as the first boot option.

let me know what happens

YOu need a 3rd pary dvd player software installed, Like power dvd. Power DVD , Win Dvd etx, you should have gotten a copy of a player when you brought your computer, If you didnt or cant find it you can download one, many have trial versions or you can get a free one.

If you get a trial version of Power Dvd it automatically installs a dvd decoder. even if power dvd trial expiers and you cant use it anymore you will still be able to play the dvd's on windows media player cause the decoder will remain there and media player will have axcess to it :)

RUN a register cleaner or repair program

I use TUNE UP UTILITIES

Reinstall drivers

you might have to update your dvd driver. Go to my computer and then properties,then disk manager. Look for the DVD driver and then update it...You might also update your windows..Hope this helps...

Wow, That's a weird malfunction. Only TDK??? What about other media types? Did you try a diffrent burning software?
