Dvd Player Works, Cd Player Doesn't

I have a G3 iBook with a combo drive, which I recently upgraded to OS 10.3.9. At one point the computer crashed while I was in iTunes, and subsequent start-ups yielded a flashing question mark icon. I gave up on the computer until the next day, when it started up fine. But now the CD drive does not play or recognize CDs. The same drive does play DVDs, however, which is why I thought it might be a software or operating system problem, rather than a hardware issue.

Regarding my technical level, I would consider myself an advanced beginner.

Thanks.
 
The CDs you used for testing, are they burned CD-Rs? Did they work before? Insert an audio CD and see if it works. Another idea is to reset the Pram and repair permissions.
Good luck!
