CD tray does not open when Button Pressed

the dvd burner burner has a fault in it.if y have warranty get it replaced.i did the same thing when my disc tray didn't open.

If you are able, check the power lead to back of the dvd,if you have a spare power lead coming from your power supply(normally atleast 4 leads), give it a try.

Try also uninstaling your dvd in system properties, by right clicking and select delete, then restart pc to see if it's found again, but when the pc boots it should check the drive, you will notice the light on front of dvd light up, if not there is no power or the dvd is dead.

does the tray open when you right click on the drive icon in "My Computer" and select "eject"?

It may be that the button is not reaching the DVD drive. Try slackening two screws on the right hand side of the DVD drive and move it forward a fraction.

Turns out that my drive just doesnt like DVD-R types. All others work well.

im having a similar problem to t his orange light flashes as if its trying to open but i have to open manually if i do when i put in a disc it wont read it anyways

i have the same problem and it looks to me to be the sledge motor that is faulty
