Dell XPS M1330 doesn't detect optical drive
I have a Dell XPS M1330 laptop. The OS is Windows 10. I had to replace the motherboard because it was bad. After replacing the motherboard I noticed the optical (DVD/CD) drive is neither detected in BIOS and OS nor making any noise at all. Everything else seems to be working fine. The optical drive was working before I replaced the motherboard. So I removed the optical drive and the connector cable and cleaned the cable and the pins on the optical drive with a toothbrush and put the laptop back and booted. This time I could hear the optical drive making noise right after I boot. When I tried to insert a CD it accepted the CD and I can hear it spinning. However, the DVD/CD drive is still not listed in BIOS nor in the OS. In the BIOS, it says "none" for fixed bay device. The DVD/CD drive is not listed in the boot menu either when I press F12 to select a boot device.
What does this tell you?
