Cd drive opening and closing on its own

unfortunatly the mechanism is jammed up for one reason or the other reason #1 a cd is stuck inside #2 the gear just wore out and or it was forced closed by hand instead of pushing the eject/load button..you can try to gently pry this door open while pressing open/eject button that works 40% of the time..if it does not work? it can then be deemed broken out of order.

it's worth a shot trying to pry it open but beware this could either work or really destroy the door/mech/player comes down to this "do you feel lucky" sadly? that's where we're at with this one.

There is very little you can, these items in general cannot be repaired. Go to www.ebay.com Type make and model of laptop, refine search to cd/dvd driver.

make sure that the cd rom is getting enough consistent power test all leads that are attached to the cd rom including electical extensions and make sure they have a secure connection or just replace them there might be bad/faulty or
your drivers may have been corrupted or you might have a virus run your antivrus program
you might have to physically unplug the leads for this cd rom then plug them back in this will activate found new hardware wizard
hope this helps or
you might have to uninstall then reinstall your cd rom or uninstall the driver then reinstall for this device
also
control panel admistrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll down cd dvd rom drives right click you can you can update driver,roll back driver,or select properties general troubleshoot, select driver click to reinstall drivers click update driver or uninstall then reinstall

Do you actually use the CDROM drive?
I assume no because you say you keep trying to disable/uninstall it- If this is the case, just unplug the power cord from the back of the drive.
Only thing I can think of that would cause this is a faulty/intermittent connection inside the CD Drive, which could only feasibly be fixed by replacing it. They're like $12 these days.

Your unit needs a little TLC. Let me address the likely problems/solutions:

1) Tape deck stuck - The most common problem here is that the belt has gotten slippery. This has prevented the mechanism from resetting to a known position and that is what prevents the door from opening. Hopefully when you pried it open, nothing bot broken.

2) Both tape drives run from the same motor and use different belts. The same applies to the second deck as the first. The belts are sliping and need to be replaced.

3) The CD lens is probably dirty and needs to be cleaned. The fact that the CD stops and an attempt is made to play it suggests that the optics are working enough to detect the disc. Clean the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol and that should resoplve the CD problem.

If you have not opened up these before, I would not suggest you start without someone around who has. There are 3 belts that need to be chagned for the cassette section to work. Plan on $15-$20 for the belts.

okay that sounds like the magnet in the cd case is stuck.open your xbox360 and access your cd drive.search on the internet if u cant.when you do,on the drive there is a circle pry it off with a flathead screwdriver and you should see a circle looking thing that moves around freely when you move it.okay cut out a circular piece of index card or thick paper that could fit on the circle and place the big metal circle you pryed off back on the drive.reassemble the xbox.it should read now.if that doesnt work then it could be the placement of the laser.dissassemble your xbox again or do this also before you reassembled it.open your cd drive by removing the 4 screws holding it together.{if its a hitachi lite(H-L} drive it will be 6} and remove the top cover there should be a lense thing that moves back and forth when it reads the games move it as close as you can to the {spinner} make sure there is no dust or hair on the rails and reassemle your xbox360.there ya go.oh if you here a buzz when u play the game dont worry about it its not gonna blow up lol.

If the trouble isn't being caused by some screwy virus or software problem, the best solution is to replace the drive. New drives are quite inexpensive and widely available in retail stores (at higher prices) and online.

it happens often because of some materials or cd broken pcs try to clean it carefully

Replace the Drive

Hi , reset the computer try to open dvd and okey if not try to check belt it visible near the cd tray if still align with the pulley.
