eMachine T3025 DVD Drive won't open

Hi Anybody,

The computer is about 4-5 years old. Still works great except the DVD drive no longer opens.

When I push the button I get a soft sound of movement (I can see the exterior bay cover moving slightly) followed by another or the same soft sound at which point the movement stops. About 6-7 seconds later I hear another very similar or identical sound and then a green light flashes for a couple seconds in a translucent strip of black plastic located just under the DVD bay.

As near as I can tell all connections are in place and properly seated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Probably a dying servo or worn gears? Do you have a disc stuck in the drive? There should be a very small hole that you can insert a paper clip into to manually open the drive. Sounds like it's time to buy a new drive.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
