Hi everyone,

My iBook (one of the "new" ones, not clamshell) is having an annoying
problem with the CD-ROM drive. Sometimes, when I trash a CD, the drive tray
will pop out only a few millimeters. I can't push it back in (it pops right
back out, but again only that small bit) and I can't pry it open with my
fingers, either. It's happened three times now, and each time after much
pushing and prodding, I got it to come out normally after pushing it in and
holding it (or something... I actually don't know *what* it was that I did
that made it come out normally). I'm guessing some internal mechanism must
be sticking; any ideas? Would something as simple as a shot of WD40 take
care of it? I certainly don't want to damage any CDs, or the drive itself,
with all this pushing and pulling.

Thanks!!
