Hello,

Does the light flash when trying to open.

Beside the eject button there should be a pinhole.

Try using a paperclip and see if the drive will open.

tHANKS FOR THE REPLY....WHEN THE CD ROM IS IN THE COMPUTER THE GREEN LIGHT IS ON. BUT NOT THE ONE ACTUALLY ON THE CD ROM...
(IF THAT MAKES ANY SCENSE)..WHEN I PULL IT OUT THE GREEN LIGHT GOES OUT. I TRIED USING A PIN IN THE PIN HOLE AND NOTHING HAPPENS...WHEN ITS OUT, AND BACK IN THE COMPUTER IT DOES NOTHING!
