Sometimes the front "lip" of the tray can get caught on the CD drive itself, and the drive will extend the tray thinking a disk wasn't inserted into it properly. When the tray closes, you can look and tell easily if it slides in smoothly or gets caught.
The question is, does the problem go away after it does this a few times, or is it consistent and preventing you from reading any sort of CD? Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

Check that as consistent.
Well, my usual recommendation for stubborn CD drives is to toss them and get a replacement if driver and firmware updates fail to make it behave. That kind of problem sounds more like an issue with the gears being fucked rather than it not closing completely, and that isn't an easy fix. Getting it repaired would cost more than the thing is worth unless you want to mess with it yourself. Eheh, can't very well recommend that, then. Here, an ASUS DVDRW/CDRW drive for $37.99 with $4.69 three day shipping from newegg.com. There's nowhere I can't reach.
