Is the front of the CDROM drive a bright yellow colour?
If so, then you can be certain that you have a lemon. Unfortunately, these
are made and distributed to consumers from time to time. Try replacing the
drive. (in most places, it's about a $30 solution)
By the way, if you're still "paying for" it, is it possible that you have a
service contract on the machine? If so, then let the technician earn his
salary...
If you're on your own, then one thing you might check is the power plug. I
had one of them work its way out one time. I suspect that the constant
vibration of opening and closing, spinning up/down caused the improperly
seated plug to work its way out over time. Not sure, but I pushed it back in
and never had a problem after that. Beyond that, if you've checked out the
driver situation and everything's OK, then it sounds mechanical to me.
