We do not have the visuals, but searching around indicates these Optical Drives have a light to indicate lack of USB power and are supplied with 2 USB-A plugs. As the manual says in post #5.
USB 2 supplies up to 500 mA, USB 3 900 mA as standard, though most older laptops will have "always on charger USB 3 port" with maybe twice that like 1.8 A, my old laptop is like that
Another possibility is a driver modifier that may have been installed by the Laptop/PC manufacturer, again later versions of Windows do not like this and the Optical drive will not work.
On my old Laptop it had such a driver modifier which was there for making backup discs of the recovery partition. No use any more so the Burning App was uninstalled and that removed the driver modifier, the drive worked again.
That is easy to check with the Device Manager, there should only be one standard driver which if I remember correctly is CDROM.SYS that may have changed name in Windows 11.
