    Does the drive eject and load? If not, check to make sure the power cable is still connected.

    Your XC-840 desktop came oem with an ODD drive and cable so it should work, either your desktops ODD is faulty or its connections like the power cable is faulty for the ODD to not have power or if its not recognized then its the SATA cable that is faulty. Check all those cables and the ODD player because that is where your problems are and change the parts accordingly for new parts. Good luck

    The eject button on the front will work even if everything other than power is disconnected. If your system doesn't have a button on the front then there is no optical drive installed. Many, if not most, of the XC-840 SKUs don't have optical drives installed from the factory.
