Hopefully this will work for you. Real basic but I've got mine working. I got so pixxed with it all that I decided to buy a new dvd unit so popped down to pc crap world as their website said in stock.

I removed the defective unit so I could compare it with the Sony DWQ58A drive that is supposed to be a replacement. On arrival at PC crap world I was told that none were in stock so I went home and put the old unit back in the machine so that it would not get damaged. Two weeks later pc crap world said, over the phone, that they were in stock. So off to pc world again. This time I was told that they never stock these things. So off back home and refitted the old unit yet again and low and behold it's all working now.

The only thing I can think is that the removal and refit on 2 occasions as cleared a bad connection between the drive and pc.

Give it a go, it might work for you also.
