You'll have to remove the played from the car, open the case up and then locate the laser (lens). Start with some air, via a camera lens puffer/brush device if possible (NOT compressed air!) then test the results. If still no read then attempt a very careful lens clean with a microfibre cloth and iso-propyl, as shown in this video (although I don't use a screw driver...): -

Once dry, re-test again. Not a sure fix but it eliminates the possibility of a dirty lens being the issue. And while you're in there cleaning it you can check the laser sled/arm is clean and free of dust bunnies etc.
