Hi,

Here are some test you can do to identify if it's a hardware or software problem.
- Do check Device Manager first and see if it's listed there and if it is, uninstall/reinstall.
- Uninstall the DVD drive driver then reboot your laptop and it should reinstall automatically.
- After the reboot test the DVD drive again and see if it will work.

Here's a more detailed troubleshooting step that you can try from HP support but this applies to all PC.

hi thank you for your reply, i have been to the device manager but there is no sight of it listed.
But when i put a cd into the dvd player it loads but that all it do then there is nothing .... it worked great when i was
on windows 8.1 but like i said when i updated to windows 10 nothing happens
what will happen if i disconnect it from the hard drive then reconnect it will my pc pick it up ...?
my pc is not a laptop i got a tower pc which i had made with all the up dates...
with thanks Erwin Marschall
