If you open the case: It's always worth it to visually inspect any capacitors to see if they're bulging at the top: they could keep the laser from working even if everything else seems to be OK. Confirm that the (tiny!) plastic lens is indeed still on the laser assembly: we've seen one optical drive where the lens popped loose and was rattling around in the case: gluing it back fixed the optical drive.(You should also hear noise as the laser assembly moves back and forth trying to find the beginning of the disc.)

If not, it's possible that the ribbon cable to the laser assembly came loose or needs to be reseated.

If you try nudging the laser a few times unsuccessfully as mentioned above, notice where you left it last time and see if it moves in its track at all when you try the next time.

(Depending on the design of the optical drive you might be able to use a transparent disc (you get one or two of these when you buy a stack of discs) to see if the laser is indeed lasing.) A burnt-out laser is a hard repair because you have to identify and replace the part. If that doesn't work then the laser might have burnt out. Try removing and reseating the ribbon cable to the laser assembly. If the laser assembly is moving well, the motor is spinning freely and you're sure there's no foreign matter in the drive then it is possible the laser has stopped working. If neither of those works, confirm that there isn't foreign matter like hair wrapped around the motor spindle or a dust bunny in the CD tray slot or mechanism. The vast majority of optical disc drives will spring back to life after step 1 and/or step 2 above.
