I cannot keep mu CD/dvd Rom tray shut. It immediately opens up after closing it. I have a Gateway mid-tower PC. 500 Mhz processor. Has a Toshiba CD/dvd and TDK DVDRW and 640mb ram.
you possibly recieved it via email...

Power off, open the case's cover, unplug the data cable from the DVD. Power on, press Pause key before windows splash screen. Press the eject button, and after that close the tray. If it opens again, the unit is defective.
Good Luck,

Mine just starting doing this, so I've tried many of the recommendations offered here and elsewhere. The one that finally worked was simply shooting canned air into the spaces around the tray button, indicating that the switch sensor was dirty. This has also cleared up the tray not opening problem that preceded this one. Also, while a tray is repeatedly recycling, no discs can be read or written to.
