CD/DVD drive problems

I am having problems with my d drive. I've had my VAIO for nearly 3 years and recently the d drive is refusing to read new games and certain DVD's. It has no problems reading CD R's and music CD's. The final strw has come when a few days ago I bought a couple of new games which do not require a powerful computer to operate, eg card games. What has happened is that one wasn't read and the other was read but has since been refused. I realise that my VAIO is nearly 3 years old and as such may just require a new drive but can anyone offer another explanation to this problem because it is very infuriating. Thankyou.

Eckster.

Have you tried cleaning the laser?

I've cleaned it occasionally over time but now even that disc is refused.

Sounds like your drive has died.
If your VAIO has a standard type case replacing it should be a doddle and cost no more than 60¿
