The MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868 in my Macbookpro which has hardly been used, is no longer working. When i insert a disc it starts up but appears not to recognise the disc ( i have tried several different discs). I also notice that it is no longer showing in Devices.
I have always, regularly updated the software and wonder if an updated driver has upset DVD operation.
Any suggestions please.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
Alan, my DVD drive is still working after I gently cleaned it almost a year and a half ago! Glad to hear that it worked for you!
Here are the search results from iFixit for replacing the optical drive in a MacBook Pro in various models

Thank you Rimmer2000!
I did exactly as you stated and my disc drive is working again! This saved me a lot of money and it wasn't difficult at all.

A bit fiddly but it worked perfectly for me too; good tip!
