It's not getting any power if the light never comes on and the drawer won't close.
Power is supplied to it by means of a rigid power connector at the back.
If the drive itself (not the drawer) is sticking out slightly, give it a firm push to restore the connection.

If it's not sticking out then the drive may have just packed up, but you may want to let a laptop repair shop take a look at it before you replace it.
