DVD/CD not found and not working

Do you get the insert Disc message?
There was an earlier thread on another forum and it had a partial solution that only worked for me once. I had to take it to the next level and my DVD now works better than new.
The thread is here - http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-12954-dvd-rw-will-not-read-anything . The post was by logik part way down the page. This was, in my case, a stuck transport but just a simple cleaning was not enough.
I took the 2 small screws out from the drive cover and gently removed the silver cover over the transport. Be careful removing the cover. It pulls out horizontally away from the door edge and you just lift it enough to clear the center spindle and no more. Then I cleaned the spiral transport shaft and the opposing shaft with cotton swabs and put a small amount of grease on the shafts also. Then I moved the transport to each end of the travel and cleaned any excess grease that squeezed out.
Replaced the cover and the drive works.
