Sandisk Cruzer Micro 8G Bricked?

My laptop does have a cd/dvd/rw drive, that, as a matter of fact has been acting strange lately. I have actually replaced the drive cause I thought the lens was worn out, but that is not that case since the replacement drive has the same issue not reading any disks. So, this could be related, I don’t know… I tried a clean instal of windows 7 btw, did not resolve the issue.
