Problem solved....it was a cable problem. I had checked optical drive in a different computer but with a different cable. I noticed after I posted the images that finder was no longer showing the connection to the optical drive that it was connected to. Cable seems to have been delivering power but not the data - it has been replaced and all is working properly now. Thanks for your offer of help though - much appreciated.
