I may have missed an earlier post, but here goes anyway.
I had the same problem a few days ago. I opened up the computer and
pressed against the IDE connectors where they plug into the drive, and
into the motherboard.
Although I felt no give at all, the drive started reading CDs again.
It was an iffy thing and I was ready to buy a new drive, because this
is a CD that has a collection of solitaire games that get played every
day.
