dvd-rw in Laptop

by patb071 . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

i have an hp dv6000 running vista home premium that i am working on for a friend. The Dvd drive does not show up in device manager or in my computer (same in safe mode) I put a cd in to see what happens and the green light blinks on the dvd drive. However if i push the button to eject the cd it just keeps blinking. Of course i can get the cd out by using my Expensive paper clip.

Is it safe to say that the DVD drive has crapped the bed? Or is it a Motherboard problem.
P.S. she dropped it a couple of years ago and so far the screen and hard drive have been replaced since.
