Hi,
One quick test you can try is to go into your System Setup (BIOS) and try inserting a disk when in BIOS. If the drive auto ejects them when in BIOS that is a good indication that the drive has failed and needs to be replaced. (Probably the eject mechanism).
Try different disk media, both CD and DVD, when running the test.
Let us know what you find out.

Hi Pavelmk,
I think your drive is defective and needs to be replaced.

Hi,
Unfortunately I agree with Osprey. If it isn't working in BIOS then it's a hardware issue.
Wish I had other news for you.
