Yea I had a similar problem. I latter found out that it was the brown ZIF connector that holds the ribbon cable. The Brown part that holds it in place was broken, and did not hold the cable in place. At first, with only the other cable connected to it, the console would turn on and make a lot noice from the drive and not eject. When I tried applying force and holding the ribbon cable in place, the console would response to the eject bottom and try to read CD but received a bad disc errors even with originals.
