If it recognises cd but not dvd it means the drive is faulty. There is 2 lasers one for cd and one for dvd. The dvd laser is faulty. It also means that it is not dirty lens because it reads cd's.

I'm guessing you may have locked the DVD region. If you right-click on the device in Device Manager and click the Region tab, does it say 0 changes available? Acer won't fix this, and claim you have to replace the drive. Can't find a firmware flash for this drive online, will post back here if successful!

did you snap the strip cover off the top? The bar that has the power button and everything? Once that comes off the keyboard should be able to be disconnected and replaced easily.
Testimonial: "Yes, had figured that out since, but thanks - New Keyboard is in"

Click the '+' to the left of 'DVD/CD' branch of the hardware tree.

Change the region.
Note that you can "change region" only about 5 times, before the DVD will "lock" into a specific region.
