It must be becasue of dust etc. Use a drive lens cleaner. that should do it.
u can easily get the cd drive lens cleaner for a couple bucks in the market. |

you shouldnt let it run for hours. that can damage the lens.
a couple minutes (2-5) are more than enough.
i will suggest you take your drive to a drive mechanic. its possible that the lens is now damaged after that overrun of the lens cleaner. |

nope, it isn't, i tried iot for a few mins first, didn't help, trust me, i don't care that much to spend probly $100 to go to a drive tech, wheni can buy a nice new DVD bvurner fior $60 |

A passing thought. Try to plugin the drive in your friends' PC and see if it works there.
If it does, it could be some cable problem in the drive.
And yeah, normally it is cheaper to buy a new drive than going to a mechanic. |
