does sound like it,s going a bit gaa gaa , try a cd cleaner from argos/index -cd with a hoover brush on it or some meths on the eye (with cotton woll) , failing that check ide cable and change power lead for another.
new writers are cheep at the moment over here , 40x12x48 for £80 ,,,they are giving away 32 speeders
best of luck freddy
