My Cd drive, bundled with my Packard Bell computer will open and close, is detected, but won't read CDs. When I try to open a cd, It asks to put in a cd. The only Cd that has worked was a laser lense cleaner. I have Windows me, and my computer is about 6 years old. How can I fix the problem?
Go to website of bell computer 1. find the latest BIOS and download it to your computer 1. find the latest driver for your CD model and download it Good luck!
CD / DVD and most optical drives - Manual eject by sticking a straightened paperclip in the tiny hole and gently push open.
If you are not facing any other issues other than playing the CDs, I would suggest you to go for an External Drive and get this issue resolved. In case you are facing many other issues and the computer you are using is not a Pentium 4 or equivalent, I would advice you to go for a new computer with better configuration.
Packard Bell computer won't play dvds.
This sounds like a common problem. You need to install the drivers (small programs that instruct the computer to notice and manipulate peripherals, like a dvd or cd player, sound card, etc...).
The easiest place to find your specific driver is at the Packard Bell web site under support > Downloads. There are MANY sites (even some that advertise on this very site) that say they have the drivers for your dvd drive, but go directly to your manufacturer's web site. These companies that provide drivers for computers install a program into your computer and there is a fee for use of these web sites.
UPDATE: I just checked the Packard Bell Web Site and was unable to find specific drivers for your particular model. They stopped making them some time ago, and no longer support the model. That being said, you can still conceivably find the drivers, it will just take some investigative work on your part. In doing a broad search on the internet, I found that many people are looking for that very driver, which is an indication it has become hard to find.
