What nonsense? Its nothing like that...Just that with prolonged periods of inactivity dust & moisture accumulates on the drive lens which needs removal. But after that drive continues to read DVDs normally...

In this case, the problem seems to be something else...Try cleaning the lens...Also see if all the cable connections are intact...Also check whether the drivers of the drive are not corrupted & hav been updated accordingly...
