recently it has been making funny noses every time i use the dvd player, many times it would not even read many of my dvds. lately it had not been reading anything at all, though when i use the same dvd on my other laptop, they work fine!
is my dvd player dead ? is there a way to test the dvd palyer ? is there a why to fix or change the dvd player with out of getting a new laptop ?

My Toshiba's DVD player died every Christmas for 3 years. Fortunately, I bought a 3 year warranty so each DVD replacement was free and included a free loaner. After the last warranty service, I sold the machine and bought a new HP with a new 3 year warranty. On day 31, the DVD died again.
The DVD dies in stages. First, it stops writing, then it stops reading, finally it stops ejecting.
If you don't have an external HD for backup, backup to DVDs while the DVD is still working. If you arent under warranty, the replacement DVD may cost a few hundred dollars.

Hi @ll
I had a little problem and had to reinstall windows Vista completely
since then I'm not able play dvd movies anymore which is really annoying.
It comes always the error message
"Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD cause the disc prohibits the playback in your region of the world. You must obtain a disc that is intended for your geographic region."
but the dvd are original and bought in the states.
And I also didn't had this problem before I reinstalled vista again.
would be great if someone could help me with question.
cause I love to watch movies.
thx

Right-click "My Computer" and select "Properties". On the "Hardware" tab, click "Device Manager".
You'll see a list of devicesâdouble-click DVD/CD-ROM drives the right-click the DVD drive that you want to change region settings for then choose Properties.
On the "DVD Region" tab change it to the region you want (1).
Region 1: U.S., Canada, U.S. Territories
Region 2: Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East (including Egypt)
Region 3: Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong)
Region 4: Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean
