Just for curiosity try holding down the F12 key and the return/enter key at the same time and see if it opens that way, that's what I have to do on one of my Clamshells to open the CD drawer it's the only one without a DVD drive... I don't know why this is??? It won't open with just the F12... Figured this out one day by mistake... I'm thinking your button (not the paperclip button) on the drawer is bad???
