Welcome to Windrivers Alifathi
Have you tried getting a dvd lens cleaner?
Is it only CDs that will not read or is the problem with DVDs as well?
Really i didn't try to bring or use dvd lens cleaner but if this soluation i will buy it and test it
about the problem it is related only for CD's becasue i didn't try to test DVD because all my data on CD
so if the above tool will be the soluation , just confirm on me to start testing
thanks for your assist
You need to test a DVD as well.
The drive has two lasers, one for reading CDs and one for reading DVDs. If the DVDs work the next test you try is to get a bootable CD and try and boot your computer from it.
Does the drive burn CDs ok?
Does the drive show up in my computer?
Does the drive show up in disk management?
If the drive burns cds ok, then clean the lens.
You might also want to check what firmware version you have and, if no other course of action helps, flash to the latest.

This CAN, if done wrong, make your drive useless.
