your drive has probably failed. you can try dismantling the unit, hopefully the actual DVD drive is a PC IDE plug in module.

Open this up and gently clean the lens with a q tip dipped in head cleaner fluid or pure alcohol from a chemists'. replace and try. if this fails you will need to get a new drive, they die like flies.
