It sounds like you have a bad optical drive which needs to be replaced.

not necessarily. the same thing was happening to my cd drive. my lower case was bent to allow dust to enter the optical drive, so i took it upon myself to find the problem. i took apart the optical drive, and cleaned the optical lens (dust cleaner, scotch tape works too, but be careful not to press/pull to hard as you may dislodge the mechanism making it so you have to buy a new optical drive). just be careful. what i did is not for the faint of heart.
