Laptop DVD-RW drive stopped working.
My QSI DVD-RW drive has decided to stop working on my laptop. 
I burned a few MP3 CD-R's end of last week no problem but it now won't recognise any type of disc. It makes several attempts to spin up but never gets going. I have unistalled the drive and re-booted at which point it finds the new hardware. All my settings seem right. Any ideas before I declare it fubar'd?
If I do have to go get a new drive, what makes/models are recommended? I take it you simply whip the old drive out, slot the new drive in, boot up and let it find the drive and then install the drivers?
Thanks in advance.

You could always try flashing the firmware - if it's screwed you aren't going to lose anything: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.ph...&manufactor=33
