You will need to provide more information for someone to start helping you grotbags1.

Which Vaio model do you have?

Is the drive recognised in My Computer?

Does the drive read and play DVDs as opposed to CDs

Is there a warning symbol and error code against the device in Device Manager? (Control Panel > Device Manager > DVD/CD-ROM Drives)

Has the drive worked correctly in the past?

As you say that there are no error messages against the drive in Device Manager the only suggestion I can make is to try cleaning the laser lens with a proprietary cleaner – ask your local PC shop for advice.
