DVD drive rarely works

My DVD drive has slowy gotten worse over time in terms of actually loading what I put in. Usually all I get is a lot of loading noises. When I go to "computer" and see the dvd drive listed, it just says DVD RW Drive, If i try to right click on it to see options , it just freezes. Once and a while a disc will load, and recently one loaded after about 15 minutes. It's an all in one computer so the dvd drive is located on the side, if that helps.
Thanks

Run a lense cleaner CD a few times to clean the lense.

If it does not help, I am afraid your only option will be to replace the optical drive.

( If possible connect a known good USB external Optical drive and check. If it works then it is almost certain you need to replace the internal drive. Take professional help if it is not a DIY job on your all-in-one.)

aww man that sounds bad but I'll try the lense cleaner first and see what happens. Thank you
