audio cd problems

[Evan Dower]

It doesn't flash the LED, but it does seem to spin. In fact, when I took a 
CD out in order to reinsert it and try again, I noticed that it seemed warm, 
presumeably because the drive had been trying (unsuccessfully) to read it. 
Ironicly, when I reinserted it, it showed up instantly.
