DVD Drive not working

Forum Storage : CD/DVD Drives DVD Drive not working

A while back I had an unfortunate incident when my PSU stopped working. It was still under warranty, so I RMA'd and I thought everything was fine. However, one of my DVD drives had stopped working. It was out of warranty, so I didn't think much of it. However, I was just looking at it, and I realized that one of the molex pins was missing. When I pulled out the old PSU, it must've come off. Is there any way I can repair this? Also, my second drive won't correctly read DVDs anymore. It won't even recognize when a windows installation disc is in it, and some of my game DVDs I can't access. So I'd like to fix these, if possible. I'm running windows 7 32 bit. The drive with the missing molex connector is an IDE drive, and the second is a SATA drive.
