If the tray opens and closes, the drive is receiving power. If the drive is not receiving power, check that a power cable is plugged into the rear of the drive. Swap the power cable to the drive with a power cable going to another device you know is working. s s Make sure the IDE data cable is connected at both ends. s s Unplug the IDE data cable at both ends and then reconnect it. Double-check each connector along the data cable and straighten any bent pins. The connectors are inserted properly when all pins are covered and the colored stripe on the side of the data cable lines up with PIN-1 of each connector. If you have another IDE data cable that you know is working, swap cables to make sure you do not have a bad cable. s Make sure the jumper on the back of the CD-Writer Plus is set correctly s Check the Install Recommendation to see if the CD-Writer Plus should be connected as Master or Slave.
