hi guys,
I'm having problems getting my DVD-ROM drive to power up. I built this computer myself. I have the EIDE cable plugged in correctly to the motherboard, blue end first. Jumpers are set to master and EIDE cable end opposite to the motherboard is plugged in. i can hear something happening on the inside of the DVD-ROM drive but the green light doesnt flash and i can't get the drawer to eject. the other computer that this was in ended up with a fried mobo because i put a bad CPU into the mobo. I don't know if that would cause problems to the drive? I'm not quite sure what to do...suggestions?
