    Hello,

    My CD/DVD drive ( TSSTcorp CDDVDDW TS-L633A) is not showing in My Computer.

    Device Manager shows a black exclamation mark in a yellow triangle with the following error message in Properties:
    "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged (Code 19)". Although, the drive is showing in the BIOS. When I insert a diagnostics CD in the drive and boot up, the CD runs and then hangs after a couple of minutes. I have cleaned the drive with a cleaning CD.

    I suspect a CD/DVD hardware problem. Does anyone know where I can obtain a replacement drive in the UK and also where I can obtain a service manual for this laptop?

    Many thanks for looking.

    Mark

    I think you you should goto the registry editor and delete this registry, uninstall it in device manager and reboot. This might fix the problem. I will try and find the registry to delete so I will come back to you.

    Please try this below to solve the problem :-
