This might be better off in Optical but doesn't actually seem to be a problem with the drive itself.

Basically, from time to time the DVD burner in my laptop stops being recognized then after a few weeks come back again. This would seem to indicate a dodgy connection but it doesn't seem random enough as it goes through periods of not being picked up and then is fine for a few weeks. Anybody got any possible reasons why it's doing this and possible fixes? It doesn't get moved about too much tbh, it's mostly just sat on my desk
