Fans are 12v, most other things rely on the other PSU busses to operate. That said, I'd expect the CD tray to at least open. Could maybe even be a broken wire on one of the PSU outlets?

If the CD drive won't open/close, it's almost certainly the power
supply.

I can take a bare CD drive, connect a power cable from an ATX supply,
turn
on the supply, and the light on the CD drive will blink.  The tray will
open
and close.

Replacing the power supply is a cheap and relatively easy repair.
