Pushing it in to start closing is the way every tray loading CD drive behaves as far as I have observed since the mid-early 1980's. This going all the way back to a couple of old Denon and Sony systems (audio, of course).
that's what I've always done too. But with two consecutive drives dying with the tray mechanism not working, I thought I'd better check.
My belief is that those that break are due to bad design for production (read, we made it with a bit cheaper materials/strength-at-this-point than the engineers said to) rather than that they are not engineered to work by pushing in the tray.
OK, will keep pushing them in then Thanks Joe -- Joseph Mack NA3T EME(B,D), FM05lw North Carolina jmack (at) wm7d (dot) net - azimuthal equidistant map generator at http://www.wm7d.net/azproj.shtml Homepage http://www.austintek.com/ It's GNU/Linux! -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
