TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632H ATA drive failure

[aoikani]

Hello,

My name is Mike and I have a Compaq Presario F560US notebook PC w/Vista Home Basic and my dvd drive does not work.

The device is recognized in Device Manager as TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632H ATA
I have used devcon stack gencdrom to examine filters and no high or low filter is residing. I edited the registry according to Microsoft Support and Help to remove the high and low filter. So that is how I removed the filters. Only the low filter was still there. I did have Roxio software but uninstalled because AVG required that is was removed or updated for conflict issues.

Now that the filters are gone, and Roxio is gone. I still cannot access my DVD ROM drive. The driver is correct and Microsoft "Fixit" confirmed this. I have to access the drive manually to open the tray to remove a CD/DVD disc.

How can I fix this?

Sounds as if the drive is failing or has failed. Even if Vista did not see
it the door should open and close if it's getting power.
