Worn cd-drive stops existing most the time

The cd drive on my computer is worn and doesnt open every so often. And usualy the computer doesnt recognize it's existance causing it to not read disks. The only free solution I found, was to get the disk drive able to be opened, and keep restarting the computer untill the drive's recognized. After that its fine for a while. But bottom line, it's a very redundant process to get disks read, and im wondering if theres an easier solution.
