Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the problem with mine. I tried it anyway to be sure, but it's not even trying to read the CD. It doesn't make any noise (well except one very faint click). And I have to eject it and close it again for it to try again. Usually after about 20 tries, it will read it and make the squeaking noise they usually make when reading (which I think is the servo motor that moves the laser unit on it's rails). But tonight I tried about 50 times and couldn't get it to read.
