Thanks to John Mitchell for the official word from Dell on
the matter.
especially since the fact that pushing on the tray is a
generally accepted method of closing the drive,
Establishing this has been one of the purposes of my
posting. It wasn't a given at the time of my posting.
So in conclusion, my guess is that there is no likely
correlation between these two events (pushing in the tray,
and failure to detect closure of the tray), and that all
of the observed correlations are coincidence, brought
about by the common practice of closing the tray by
pushing on it, and the fact that all things with moving
parts fail eventually.
sounds logical enough. I can't think of a counter argument,
with what (little) I know about the mechanism of a cdrom.
Thanks
