Default CD-R/RW drive not working

I've had this thing for a couple years and recently it completely stopped working. Not a single disc will read, nothing. It has occasionally had problems reading in the past but always started working again.

I've:

Check connections to everything
Cleaned the lense
Checked firmware
Made sure to try brand new discs
Tried 30+ discs
Tried for multiple hours to get it to work
Cleaned it more

Any ideas on what I can do? This is extremely frustrating.
