360 Won't Get To Nxe Menu With Dvd Power Plugged In, Cable damaged? Drive damaged? Options

[STKD]

Fairly simple problem. My 360 will not show the NXE menu if I plug the dvd power cable into the drive. Oddly the cable appears to be supplying power just fine (as I can eject/close the drive using the front switch), but if I turn the 360 on with it plugged in, I just get the center light on theLED and nothing ever appears onscreen. If I turn the 360 on and then plug the drive power in, it instantly loses video and the NXE disappears, then again the same light comes on.

I've also tried plugging the drive into a PC sata connection (previously used for backing up the drive firmware/keys) with the same power, and it doesn't seem to show in the BIOS now. This all happened while trying to unlock the drive with JungleFlasher (I basically clicked unlock a few times and one time it just stopped showing up..)
Anyone had this? I could really use some advice on it.
