clean the lens the tiniest speck of dust or fluff on the lens can render this marvel of the 21st century useless

Download the driver from Toshiba for TssTcorp CDDVDW TS-L633C. Device manger is only checking Windows drivers and will say it is working because that driver is loaded.

If it is showing up in "my computer" then the drive is bad. You can get a replacement very cheaply these days. $30-40 on ebay. There will be 1 screw holding the drive in at the bottom of the laptop or behind one of the removable panels on the bottom.
Once you have found the correct screw it will just slide out. (with the CD draw OPEN pull the whole drive out gently)

If it is not showing up in "my computer" there is a registry fix for this"
