No ATA device present?

I have a macbook 2007 with a disc drive issue. I can put a cd or dvd in the drive, and it accepts it and spins it, but nothing is coming up on the desktop. And i cannot eject the disc either with the eject button or the manual ways i've read about (holding down the trackpad button during startup, the credit card method, etc.)

I've restarted several time and I've attempted reseeting the power management. no change.

I should also state that this is a drive that i have recently installed. the old one was bunk, and I have replaced it with another used one. However, it was working properly when I installed it. I have since having this current issue, gone back in a made sure everything is connected properly.

Under the system profile it shows under ATA that no ATA device is present, and a similar message is showing under disc burning.

is there any hope for this one, or do I need to blow more money on this thing?
