dvd not in bios

[Mike_302]

I have a toshiba laptop and the DVD drive no longer shows in BIOS settings. If I put a disk into the drive it spins and the light is on but that's all. Any ideas what is likely to be wrong?

if you are lucky, just a jar cable. unplug/re-plug, that's all you can do, after that, look for a new.

Tried removing the drive and refitting but no change so I guess I'm out of luck
