CD Rom in device manager conflict

Well it's not really a conflict. In device manager i'm getting the yellow exclamation mark ! next to the cd drive. I'v tried 3 other known working drives with the same results. The ribbon cables are in properly and the cables are also proven good. The only thing I can think of here is that the Secondary Controller has gone. Am I on the right track here?
