Hitachi LG GSA-4120B

Hello. I have a GSA-4120B (D:drive) on my computer. When I put a movie disc in to watch or a blank disc to burn the drive doesn't even recognize that it's a disc in the drive at all. I don't have that problem with my E drive at all. I've had the computer for 3 years and didn't even know the whole time that the DVD drive didn't work. I purchased it from Gateway 3 years ago and everything on it was factory installed. I don't understand why it's not working. In Device Manager...it says that the device is working properly. I even tried switching the D drive to slave and that didn't work either. I really don't want to buy another DVD Burner. I spent almost $1,300 on this computer. I called Gateway Tech Support and he told me that since it's not under warranty anymore that I should just take it to a PC repair tech or buy a new one...like hell. I've done everything I can possibly think of to do to fix it. My brother says I probably just need to clean the lens. But if I buy a DVD cleaner the darn D drive can't even read it so it can perform the clean. Please Help Me. I have been sitting here tampering with this computer for the last 7 hours and no one can tell me anything. Please help. P.S. I have a Gateway 552GE series computer.

    My 4120B DVD burner used to read & write to DVDs fine, but now it does not recognize DVDs. It can still write CDs, which is confusing to me. It's in a Gateway 554GE.
