Re: CDs in CD drive are not found or appearing anywhere...
Could be the CD is damaged. The lens of the CD-ROM is bad or going bad. The fact that the CDROM blinks when you add a CD is because the driver is receiving power.

Most units are designed to "autoplay" audio CDs when they are inserted. When they fail to do so, it could be because the CD is dirty or scratched and was bot recognized, the media player that you are using to play the CD was not in a state that it could autoplay the CD, or there could be a problem with the Disk drive or PC itself. Whenever a CD fails to play upon insertion, go to the "My Computer" icon (win7 or below) and see if the CD/DVD drive shows a disk inserted. If so, clicking on the drive will often start the playback.
Dimension 2400 is a very old model from dell. i have seen these drive in the past reading dvds and not cds or the other way.if the optical drive is the original or one that has aged you need to change it. the probelm appear to be the read write head of the drive. it tries to read but can not.
Try to use dvd cleaner disk to clean the lens, if it doesnot work, i think you have to replace your drive , this happens with Dell alot. but try to clean it, uninstall then install the driver back and check if its work.
the cd you inserted was not compatible with your cd rom. inorder to read all cds you must use cd roms that supports up 60x speed your only have 24x speed thats y it cant read cds that has above 24x.
Again go to my computer, to find properties/hardware/device- highlight the drive, right click and refresh or scan for hardware changes. If its found your device works properly if not found please check when is your drive’s gate open to push the open button? If yes please shutdown your pc and check your drive data cable.
