Dvd players have 2 lasers,one to read cd's,the other to read dvd's.The other laser can be broken.My suggestion would be to try other types of audio cd's(not writeable ones).
Detach the data cable and try a different one, or a different ide slot.
If you have another pc,that's better.(just to eliminate connection problems)
