Default DVD/CDRW combo drive won't read DVDs

Hi

The DVD/CDRW combo drive on my laptop reads CDs okay but will not recognise
DVDs. When a CD is inserted, it does a long spin and recognises the disk. I
can then read the data or play audio CDs. When a DVD is inserted it does a
very short spin and that's all.

I can only see one thing that looks like a lens (as opposed to two). Is
there any chance of fixing this? What might be wrong?

The laptop is a Fujitsu-Siemens C1020 and the drive is a QSI SBW-161.

Thanks
Tim
