If it's Icon disappears and there is nothing in My Computer or Device Manager, no
light, nothing inside, I assume it's dead. I suppose there is no case of the software
not "seeing" it, but is there any record of cause?

"What is Optical Drive?
In the real world, "optical" refers to vision, or the ability to see. In the computer
world, however, "optical" refers to lasers, which can "see" and read data on optical
discs. These discs include CDs and DVDs, which are made up of millions of small bumps
and dips. Optical drives have lasers that read these bumps and dips as ones and zeros,
which the computer can understand.

The next time I switched on, the drive was back in My Computer and seemed in working
order.
I suppose this is good until the next time.
Nothing in Events.
