CD drive not reading?
One day, my CD drive on my laptop just stopped reading CDs and DVDs. It still present on my computer, Device Manager states that it's working properly...but alas, I'll insert a cd and nothing will happen, it seems as if it is reading for a moment, but then nothing.
Any advice? This laptop is fairly new, and never had problems with the drive.
Oh, and the lens was definitely not damaged.

If the laptop is under a year old, I don't know of any company that wouldn't fix or replace it for free.

You mention that this laptop is fairly new. It could be that yours just happened to come with a faulty drive. This exact same problem as you described happened to me on a new MAC.
The drive wouldn't read or play CD's or DVD's and after a while made loud grinding noises. I had an extended warranty so they replaced it with a new DVD/CD drive.
You should take yours in to be repaired or find out where to go if under warranty. All you're likely to pay is the cost of the new drive to be put in if not under warranty. That's what happened for me.
