I have been looking into the task manager today (processes) and I found
nothing unusual.
However, it seems the Sony DVD writer CAN play video DVD's and DVD-ROM's. It
cannot read (audio, ISO) CD's anymore. Also, the failure first occurred
during writing an audio CD.
Is it possible only the CD part is broken while the DVD part still works? Do
they use different lasers?

Yes, they do.
