Check to make sure your notebook's USB 3 ports are working too.   See this discussion...same notebook, person also factory reset the PC...

Thank you for your time it now works again! I just now noticed that i can't play any mp4 files, would you know any fixes for this?

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

 

Doesn't the DVD playing software allow for playing of MP4 files? 

 

Or Windows Media Player which is included with W7?

 

CyberLink PowerDVD 10 software provides support for 2D/3D detection on supported notebooks that are running a supported operating system.

If not, unfortunately I wouldn't be able to help you with that, and suggest you start a new post.
