A friend of mine has an iBook thats about 18months old running Mac OSX 10.3.5 and a few days ago the tray loading CDRW drive started acting a bit strange. The tray of the CDRW drive will not stay shut, when you close it is stays shut for about 10 seconds and then pops out again. It does'nt matter if theres any sort of disk in there its just pops right and does'nt register the disk at all. I looked into the tray itself and aprt from being a slight bit dusty it looks just like my own which works fine, I have run tech tool pro on it and disk utility too neither found any problems. Has anyone got any ideas? before I send it to Apple.
 
wow, its been almost 24 hours and no one has responded to you. for shame.

anyway, it sounds like a malfunctioning latch. whatever keep the drive closed is failing and may just need a tiny little part. take it in.
