Hello?
I am attempting to fix a friend of mines CD ROM. He brought it to me saying that the tray would not open. I took it apart and found no apparent defects. Here's the strange part (to me at least), the tray opens fine as long as the upper housing (metal casing) is NOT on. The second I place the upper housing onto it, the tray will not open. I have even tried using another housing with the same result. There doesn't seem to be anything that would prevent the tray from opening unless it has something to do with that little blue (stabilizing?) disk that is part of the upper housing. Any one know what I may be able to do without replacing the whole thing?
