Theresa,

Further to what Dean suggested, try 5 CDs or DVDs. If all or several  
of them can't be read then the drive is defective and would need to be  
replaced. If it's just one disc that is having the problem then clean  
the disc as Dean suggested and gently dry it off thoroughly with a  
soft cloth (microfiber if you have one), then try
it again. If it still doesn't work but other discs work fine then the  
disc may be damaged.

Also, you said the drive doesn't make the usual whirring noise. Does  
it just eject the disc shortly after you insert it?
