DVD Drive locked up

Right, my DVD Burner has locked up for some reason. When it happened before, I just uninstalled the drivers in the device manager, restart PC and it would work but I've tried that twice and still the same issue. When I press the eject button, the light flashes but does eject. Thanks in advance

The drive still thinks the tray is open so there is no spin up or reading of discs

FYI, restarted the machine with the data cable taken out of the drive, it open/closed as normal and upon restart with the cables put back it, she is alive again!!
