NEC DVD+RW Stopped Reading/Burning CDs...

I have an Inspiron E1505 that stopped reading and burning CDs a couple of months ago.  The funny thing is that it still reads and burns DVDs, just not CDs...  I have a NEC ND-6650A.  I did a firmware update but that didn't fix it.  Any idea what the problem could be and how to fix it?

    Run the Dell Diagnostics on the drive.  It is possible that the drives
    CD laser has failed while the DVD laser has not.  Diagnostics instructions
    are here .............

    Run the diagnostics again just to verify.  My guess is that the drive will need replacement.

    I have Inspiron E1705 and run into the same problem with NEC ND-6650A.
    The Dell Diagnostic gave me error code 0F00:2874 "Optical drive BIST - spindle test failed"
    Is it fixable or drive has to be replaced?
