Problem with CD Drive

Hi my compaq laptop is having problems recognising any CD i put into my drive. This started a about 2 months ago when my VLC payer stopped working and now last night i put in a blank CD with pictures on it and nothing. I can hear it doing something after inserting the disc. I have trying blowing on the disc and the CD holder just in case of dust, ect but nothing. The disc registers on my TV DVD player so its not the disc.
The only thing i have done is update my Anti Virus software Avast. Then the VLC stopped working and now this. The other night too upon logging on something popped up asking about CD drives and it gave the option of my Optus broadband or windows(sorry i cant quite remember)-and i cant remember what i selected!.Please help!, Bec

I think buying a USB DVD drive is a very sensible idea as internal drives on laptops can be a pain to remove and fit and they are more prone to failure than their desktop brothers because of their flimsy construction.

Device Won't Recognise Blank CD-R Media or Certain Music CDs.
try and see if you can pull a directory using explorer,, sometimes if you record to the full 80 minutes capacity, the disc will return an error,,,even if you recorded it on that drive...also i know this may sound strange but on the drive tray itself take the mount where the laser is mounted and extend it out to the furthest travel point ,,,gently,,,do not force...load the disc, and see if it is now recognized,,,sometimes it is a timing issue, and this way the tray/laser recalibrates itself....
