My cd-rom drive won't read the disks. When I insert a cd into my laptop the cd-rom drive makes two weird sounds and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Open the device. Clean the laser lens carefully with a small bird feather. Check for functionality.

If no,

Buy new/external drive.

if it doesnt work, just order a new one. theres nothing much you can do to them. or RMA the laptop if its still under warranty
