    do you have anything else plugged into the wireing harness if you do, and that doesnt work either. you most likey new to get a new one(wireing harness).if you have something else like another hard drive or cd burnner thats working ,theres something wrong with the drive

    do you have a dvd or cd in the drive on startup this usaually causes the dvd burner not to respond and causes the dvd drive to malfunction

    remove all disks try going into cmos and reset the cmos to default settings and restart the computer after saving the settings if this doesn't work your dvd is screwed sorry

    if your cd drive is experiancing the same problems i would look at getting a new pc it sounds like your drive controller is going out
