Hi Bus, Not sure how you have your dvd player plugged in, but with mine you have a really small plug wire that goes from your dvd/cd drive and plugs to your mother board. On many mobos the jack is only two posts stick up from the board itself. Check to make sure you plugged that in correctly. I could be pretty easy to plug it in firm, but only one of the male posts on the board is actually covered. Does this make sense? Good luck, Kev
