| |  A variety of possibles here.
1. Stick a paper clip in the little hole and push - it will open the drive door enough to pull it open. Fire up the PC and see if it will close.
2. Open the box and replace the ribbon cable from the mobo to the drive - they sometimes fail. Check the power lead to the drive has 12v.
3. Check in your BIOS that the IDE channel is working and it finds your drive. (usually hit 'Del' key on bootup)
4. If it is not found, replace the DVD/ROM. I expect it is dead. New dual layer 16x drives are now under £20/$40

| | OK - BIG difference between laptops and desktops! haha
Unusual not to have a little hole on the front of the drive but hey, there are loads of different drives.
1. Try to remove the drive from the laptop and push it back in. There is usually a locking lever under the case to release the drive. Sometimes dirt gets on the contacts.
2. See if you can contact your laptop manufacturer and check the price of a replacement DVD drive.
3. Check out the price of a new laptop!
That is the problem with laptops. If the screen, keyboard, power supply or some other component goes down you often end up scrapping the laptop. | | | |
