I think my cd-r/rw drive just crapped out...

[Akurei14]

The drive own't recognize any cds. Nothin.
Any advice as to how what's wrong.
I'm assuming it's pretty much dead.
And go figure the warranty is up...
I checked the cables, everything is plugged in.
There is no new firmware for it.
It's a Cyberdrive CW088
Yes I know, crap....
But what do ya expect from HP???
And if it is dead, where can I get anew one for, not so much $$$

[Akurei14]

Any advice on what the prob is? I wanna be sure b4 I go out and buy a new one.

Its probably dead. Anything with moving parts is only gonna last maybe 3-4 years max.
