When I push the button to open my CD-RW drive it sounds like if it were stuck or something and the little light of the drive turns on and off several times. I'm using my DVD Drive to read data cds but I still would like to have my CD-RW drive back. Any recomendations?

get a knife behind it and GENTLY flick it out then clean around the edges where they meet with the main housing mine has been sticky also but after i cleaned it all was ok

does your CD drive have a little hole where you put a small object like a straight paperclip to push it out?
