First of all, I would put a lens cleaning cd in the drive to clean the drive's lens, second make she you can read thos disks on another drive.

I am having the same problem as the guy you responded to. I can't put a lens cleaner cd in my non-working drive because the drive doesn't recognize the disc so I can play it and clean the lens. Or does it work even if the drive is not recognizing any media?
Thanks,
