i started using a couple of my optical drives again to perform some testing and backup but to my disappointment, they have tray loading problems. both drives wont eject the tray and when i load the tray back, it auto ejects the tray again. it seems that the laser sled assembly in the drives wont drop down fully to the correct position to release the tray and the laser sled assembly wont extend back up to the proper position to lock and load the tray so it auto ejects the tray again.
i tried lubricating the gears in the tray loading mechanism and the tray sled rails but it didnt change the problem. in fact, it got worse because the rubber belt for the tray loading motor got slippery due to all the oil lol! any idea how to fix the tray loading issue with the drives? thanks.
