T-23 CDRW/DVD drive not spinning/operating

I have an IBM T23, XP pro. Everything is fine, except for the ultrabay. I last used it about a week ago to load some MS programs and it worked fine. Now when I load a CD in it, the ultrabay just spins a bit, and clicks, never reaching full read speed. I went through the aggrevating device manager and it 'says' that this device is working properly. (uh-huh and I'm winning the Powerball on Saturday) I'm trying to find someone with another IBM ultrabay so I can swap it. I cannot locate the drivers for the device online at Lenovo or anywhere else and since it don't work, I can't load the original CD drivers I have for it, arrrg. Thankz.

Never mind peeps, the ultrabay just smoked like a Mission Impossible scene. Time to buy a new one.
