Jay_Adams Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Hello, my CD/DVD drive does not work all of the time. It will read any CD i put in or any old game but not any of the recent games. Now i'm not a PC pro so i'm not sure if it is a firmware issue or a driver issue if it is either could you point me towards any good sites that would have either a driver or a firmware update for - TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C, Thank you Quote
KenB Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Hi and welcome to ExTS This is a strange one !! Are you sure that the new CDs are "New" and not copies ? Start > type in .......devmgmt.msc ...ENTER Are there any yellow exclamation marks next to DVD CDROM ( click the + ) Are you also sure that it is some CDs ............. There are 2 lasers in the drive. One for CDs and the other for DVDs One of these can get damaged and prevent one specific disk type from being read.

Jay_Adams Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Yes i have checked that and there is no yellow warning icons. The disks that do not work for me are new games (last 2/3 years). What will work is old games , CD's and DVD's. I do not belive anything is damaged because it can still read DVD's CD's and old games. I'm really stumped :) Quote
KenB Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Hi Try deleting the upper and lower filters See here Try the "Fix It" ( scroll down ) If that fails - scroll down further and delete the upper and lower filters manually. Refer to the XP instructions. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
