[RESOLVED] Dell 1505 TSSTCorp TS-L632D stopped working
I was cleaning my installed programs on Dell Inspiron 1505 and my DVD drive stopped working after uninstallation of some program (can't recall which).
My TSSTCorp TS-L632D drive is missing the driver now and is not a drive on My Computer options. I tried manual choosing the driver option and tried to install it as regular cdrom but got error 39. I tried using Dell Recovery disk but couldn't find any option to get that dvd drive recognized by the customer. I did some system checks using dell recovery cd and the drive is functioning fine.
Where would find software/driver to fix this problem. Thanks

Get BlueScreen when trying KB article solution
Hi everyone, I'm helping a friend that has a dell Inspiron E1505, and I'm trying to get her TSSTCorp L632d drive to work. The drive does not show under "Computer", but can boot from the recovery cd. Basically the same problem as above. When I try the fix from the microsoft KB outlined above (the one for the error code 39) and delete the Upper and Lower filters and then restart, I get a bluescreen and I have to do a system restore. Has anyone had this problem and found a way to fix it without reinstalling/repairing windows? She says that she installed Kodak Easy Share on the computer recently, so I was thinking that was causing the issue, but I uninstalled it and tried again and it still does the same thing. Also, she is running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit Home Premium. Hopefully one of you IT gods can help me out with this one. I'm usually pretty good with such problems, but this one has me stumped.
Re: Get BlueScreen when trying KB article solution
Well, I ended up giving in and just doing a system restore using the dell restore partition ( Drive d: ), and now everything is working fine. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to investigate this problem thoroughly. Just for the record, this was a computer that came with Vista pre-installed, so I don't think this was some sort of vestigial XP issue. But, at any rate, it's working fine now even though I feel like I gave up...Honestly, if I had the time I really would have figured it out, I swear! :)
FIXED !! Thanks Matridom ! DVD for a Acer Aspire 5610Z
Holy krap.
Yes, 'tis true. I also registered for this site (which I just happened upon after a google search for the model number of the DVD drive within my acer aspire 5610Z laptop) JUST TO SAY THANK YOU TO MATRIDOM !
Thank you Matridom.
Key points:
1. I do have the same model number of DVD drive within my Acer Aspire
5610z (BL50). Purchased cheap years ago at Best Buy .. great little machine for the money. It did have the same exact drive listed here on this forum inside.. a TSST Corp ATA TS-L632D
2. I am relatively computer/tech savy, but have had a non-working DVD drive now for over a year. I have tried physically removing and re-installing, and I have tried many other forum fixes, and at this point truly thought it was a BAD drive component, and needed to simply buy a new one for replacement.
3. Recently was going to upgrade the hard drive, and was going to Norton Ghost the 120GB drive it came with, and install a new Seagate 500GB drive. I thought I would give the DVD "fix" one more attempt prior to above, just so that when this drive replacement process was done...... the whole machine would be working / like brand-new .. but with the new larger capacity drive.
4. Google searching (which I had done a year ago, and spent hours reading) dug this site, and specifically this forum up this time.... and was skeptical at first, but since I had a major back-up done, was blowing out the hard drive anyway, and DID do a major registry back-up anyway.... what did I have to lose to try it.
5. Guess what folks ?!? Worked. I repeat. Worked.
I don't know why ?!? or how ?!? but it worked.
6. Another item that may be important. When I went to the link Matridom included to microsoft, it had tons of information, and was very very specific on what to do, and what to look for. However, at the very top, it had a dummy-like "fix it now" type button.... and yes, as a human being, I was too tempted not to try that (of course). It did NOTTA on my system, and figured as much anyhow. I also assumed Matridom was referring to the section that involved manually editing the registry. I had done registry edits prior, but only on spyware items (and wasn't overly comfortable doing so prior). Bottom line is: The "fix it" dummy button did nothing.. but my registry did have both filters listed, and I did delete them both. Rebooted machine.. all worked just fine.
7. My residual question to anyone out there, that doesn't seem to be much addresses is:
Why are these filters there ? How did they get there ? What functionality does one LOSE (if any) by deleting them ?!? I have noticed no problem at all, but just curious as heck on the why/and how. I do know though, that often with computers, you often don't care why/how ... as long as the damn thing works ! :-)
8. Signing off for now. To conclude though, I am still amazed the internet has such sharing and free information out there, and although many of these posts go back years, it saved my ARRRSSSS in February 2010. Go figure !?!
Hope my follow-up posts help anyone out there with an Acer, and.. remember..
Matridom RULLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssss !!
