Any bright ideas as to why my Phillips CDR/RW wants to keep the "cup holder" out?? After replacing a couple of my case fans and dusting out my case I booted up and my tray no longer wanted to stay closed. I can push the eject button and drive will close then immediately reopen. Manual closing does the same thing unless I hold the door closed for a few seconds (prolly a bad thing to do). Device manager reports no problem but the thing will not stay closed long enough to read a disk so I'm guessing that writting to it is not worth even trying
The fans that I exchanged were daisy chained with my CDRW power supply but I have tried removing them altogether (as well as checking my molnex connectors visually) to no effect. I did have a fair dust storm when I cleaned the case .... is it possible that dust in my CDRW would cause this? Not sure if it was a good idea but I have also tryed dusting the inside of my drive with my handy little air can from the front opening.
Am wondering if there are any simple solutions before I decide to be stupid and perform an autopsy/surgery on it with my screwdriver and/or frameing hammer??
