If your CD-ROM drive refuses to open you should first check the power supplied to the CD-ROM drive. You will need to check if the activity LED is working. Then try opening the tray. In case the tray still doesn't open, it is probably that the drive has no power. You will then want to check the plug connection leading to the drive which is inside the case. In case it doesn't work, you can try another one. However, it you see that there is no power to the drive, in all probability it is dead and will need to be either repaired or replaced.
At the same time, if you are experiencing intermittent power problems or if you have trouble with other devices too, it could be the power supply that is the problem.
Also, bear in mind that you will need to remove any ESD or Electrostatic Discharge by means of grounding yourself prior to touching the components that are within the computer.
