I strongly suspect the "hardware problem" diagnosis is correct.
Try reseating the cable and/or replacing it.
Most likely (in my experience) it's a dying CD/DVD drive - unreadable
audio CDs, due to there more sensitive format are usually the first symptom.
Do you have problems reading the inner tracks of large data DVDs?
