Thanks, I was gone so long that the forum software completely changed. It's quite a shock but perhaps this new setup works better for phones...
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. The disc doesn't not mount for sure. The led just constantly blinks and you can hear the movement inside like its trying to figure things out. Tried music, DVD, data cds as well. So we know it not mounting. Tried codec pack, no change. I ran a cleaning disc in it, did not make a difference.
I am only using single USB, I will try Y cable to use 2 USB to get more power and see if that works.
I removed the black plug next to the USB plug and there is a pin behind there. Looks like maybe a plug for a power source? it has never been removed as the black rubber piece was glued over hole.
Looking more online since it was mentioned above, this might be part of some sort of tablet device.
If the Y cable doesn't work I'm going to take it apart and see if this plug is for some sort of power source, if so ill try applying 5V to it.
