CD-Rom tray does not open

Asked by mgroyal in General Computer Systems

Tags: cd, open, rom, does, tray

Hi,

After I came home from my holiday I recognized that my computer and voip-box were damaged. Obvisouly, there was overvoltage or another electrical issue, which caused damaged. For the computer I had to replace the power supply. Now my computer is working, only my 2 CD-Roms don't wanna open its trays. So I bought a new CD-Rom, because I thought that they are also damaged. Unfortunately my new CD-Rom doesn't work too, which is really strange. So I bought a new IDE-cable without success. Then I changed the IDE cable sockets to make sure that none of the suckets are damaged. But the Harddisks were still working and the CD-Rom didn't want to open the tray.

As you can see I changed and tried almost everything, but the CD-Rom tray just dont wanna open. Therefore my question, is it possible that my motherboard is damaged that no CD-Roms are working anymore. Or, do you have another idea what could be wrong? Because of my incident, probably a person with electricity knowledge would be very useful.

Thanks for you help!
Rgds royal

PS: Of course, the CD-Rom is under power and the LED is blinking sometimes
