Dead Cd/dvd Rw Drive

My drive just died.

There were some symptoms for while. It wasn't successfully writing CD-Rs for a few days. Now it won't even read Cd disks. I assume it's time to get a new one, but just wondering is there any first line of attack, like a cleaner that might fix it?

Thanks for the suggestions. Its a desktop. I didn't bother with the dusting idea but I did find a potential fix on windows help for my situation. It suggested trying to uninstall the device driver and then reinstall it on reboot. It reinstalled the device and driver but then still the same symptoms (wouldn't read disks at all or even recognize empty ones). So got a new LG for 780 baht. Case closed.
