Recently, I swapped out a broken Matshita drive.

The new slot-loading optical drive will not accept discs.

What confounds me is that the drive (seems to) show up in the System Profiler:

MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8124:

Firmware Revision: DZ13
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
Media: No

If it is a power connection issue, would the device appear in the System Profiler?

Anyone have a theory?
