Does it refuse to play both dvd's and cd's?
It could be a corrupted driver, where the driver rollback may work, as would deleting the drive from the hardware profile and reinstalling it.

You could also try cleaning the optics with a cd-cleaning kit.

If nothing works, it may be that the drive has died.
