My disc drive wont read discs at all, my cousin knows alot about computers and said its the laser it seems like. how do I fix this or replace it?

Sounds like your cousin could be right. You probably have a dirty laser lense. I have a tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r4119308-clean_lense_cd_or_dvd_player which explains in detail how to clean the lense. Unfortunately if after cleaning the laser lense, your drive still will not work, you will need to purchase a new one. You can get one at www.impactcomputers.com for a good price. Let me know if you need anymore help.

Thanks for using FixYa

First try a few fixes:

• Clean the lenses with a cotton swab and robbing alcohol
• uninstall the driver from -->control panel -->system -->device manager then restart the computer and wait for it to be reinstalled.
  

Hi,

insert a disc cleanser first then play it several times,maybe the laser contained a dusts. mostly original disc driver are choosy,they can not read pirated disc..if your disc driver still not working, your laser might be defected.pull out your laser then change a new one..i hope this may help you,

best regards,
