The best way to repair a scratched disc is to take it into a specialist. There are also some mixtures that you can whipe on the disk to try and fix it. Most of the mixtures won't completely fix the scratch, just try to cover it.

Can a file become corrupt by storing it on a damaged disk?

Depends how its damaged. If its water damaged the disk may not work at all. If it is smashed or cracked it may become corrupt depending on how much of the internal disk is exposed to the outside. If the disk is damaged, that means some of the information will not be saved in contiguous space and won't be read properly. So, when you save or copy the information to the disk, you end up with just some of what you saved, even if you do not get an error message..

The disk tray is most likely to be damaged, it is a good idea not to put DVD's in the disk tray if it is broken because it could damge your DVD's. If you have dropped your laptop recently that is probably the reason it has stopped working. To fix the disk tray either take it to a computer specialist to fix it which is expensive or ring Sony and ask them to refund it or fix it free for you.
