The OP knows what the problem is, and finding parts list for a CD would be, well hard. For the OP, I have an Apple laptop CD, I'm used to taking stuff apart to fix it, if you think it would have the same lock, I could take a picture of it for you. No promises now, just if I can get around to it, and it could take a few days, the 4th and all. Plus your CD is like dirt cheap. -- Looking for a bulk file Renamer? http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php Is very nice, and of course free. |

I have one part that may be misplaced, I meant to take a picture but didn't thanks for replies On these drives there often is a small hole where in emergencies a paper clip would be inserted to release the drawer. Have a go with that paper clip and see exactly where the paper clip would land and what part it would press. There should be some spring tension against insertion of the clip at that point - you'll find an electromagnet nearby which will be moving the part (bar?) in the same manner when the drive normally ejects. That tension might have gone, or something else has been bent or twisted in the way. Perhaps your misplaced part is the spring? Or just toss the drive - replacements are cheap. - Adrian C |
