Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Troubleshooting Your Computer
If a DVD movie stops playing in the middle
The DVD may be double-sided. Open the DVD tray, and read the text near the center
hole of the disc. If it says Side A, flip the disc over, close the tray, and press the Play
button to continue playing the movie.
You may have accidentally paused the DVD movie. Press the Play button to resume.
If you get a Region Code error when playing a DVD movie
DVDs can have regional codes embedded in the disc data. These codes prevent DVD
movies from being played outside the region of the world in which they are sold. If
you get a Region Code error, you are trying to play a DVD intended for a different
region.
If the computer cannot read a CD or DVD
For a single-sided CD or DVD, make sure the disc is placed in the drive with the label
facing up.
Clean the disc.
Wait 5 to 10 seconds after closing the tray to give the computer time to recognize the
disc.
Restart the system: remove the disc from the drive, and click Start, Shut Down (or
Turn Off Computer), Restart.
If you created the CD on a CD-RW-type drive module, try using a different media
brand, such as the recommended HP C4403A (CD-R) or C4404A (CD-RW) media.
Read and write quality may vary for other media.
If you use a CD-RW drive in your notebook and in a docking system, you should
recalibrate the drive each time you move it, especially if you will be writing CDs. Use
the CD-RW software and a clean commercial CD for the calibration.
If a DVD movie doesn't fill the screen
Each side of a double-sided DVD has a different format (standard or widescreen). In
widescreen format, black bands appear at the top and bottom of the screen. To view
the standard format, flip the disc over and play the other side.
