I don't gold too much hope for cleaning the head. Yeah there are products for it, but I doubt their effectiveness. I don't have good experiences with them; usually, the defect isn't that easy to solve and the only real option is to replace the device.

DVD/CD Readers and writers are notorious for going bad in computers now a days. They generally are built cheaply and can go to shit even when not even being used.
I built my PC about 2 years ago roughly. I have a typical DVD/CD Burner in it and I went just the other day to install a game I actually got on disc intead of steam only to find my drive is completely shot. I acts like its working, but it never actually reads the disks. So time to spend 30 bucks at frys electronics or some shizzle for another cheapo.
Keep in mine I barely ever used mine. I may have burned a total of 10 disks and maybe read a disk under 50 times total since purchase.
PC also has only been moved once and it was done very very very very carefully. But who knows. Those damn laser heads can get a micron knocked off alignment and boom, your fucked.

if you just need it to work just one time you can try cleaning the head with rubbing alc and a q tip then adjusting the pot a few ohms. do you have a multimeter?

If you buy an external reader/burner they are a lot more hardy and well built. Thats my plan whenever I get around to needing to buy a replacement for mine. They properly park their laser heads since its expected for them to move and jostle about a lot. They also are a lot harder to knock out of alignment.
