So you have re-aligned the tray already, if you have done that then that isnt the problem, just make sure nothing is obstructing the gears or something inside the drive.
Eject the drive and turn the console of from the back, so the tray doesnt go back in, then open up the console, and remove the screws from the drive and take a close up view of the drive.

A co-workers ps2 (30001 model) had the tray open recently and someone bumped it closed. The tray hasnt worked properly since. Tried cleaning and visually inspecting it but cant see anything out of place. I tested it while the inner cover was off and would work at times if I placed my thumb and index fingers at the back of the whole tray department and pulled slightly towards the center. On those rare occasions it worked, midway through the opening stage, I would hear a grinding noise. The co-worker took it home and now the tray wont close all the way nor will it open all the way. He will bring it to work in a few days and i want to have some knowledge on what to do then. I will try the unhinging of the tray. I also have the swapmagic tool that I might try to unlock the tray, just to see if that will align.
Is this problem different from what has been discussed in this thread? If it is different, then is there any suggestions on how iy can be fixed?

I would try to realign the tray using the same method that we used in this thread. Try removing the tray and pressing the eject button. If the mechanism still moves, then there is hope for you yet.

i'm having the same problem as puffdank. i installed a DMS4 ezi. unhooked all the ribbons for the CD room then pluged them all back in (i assume) correctly. yet, for some reason, the eject button just flashes and opens, closes, and then opens again. then it just kinda stops and chills there... open. if anyone could help me it'd be greatly appreciated as to i've waiting 2 weeks for this mod chip and i'm dyyyyying to play back-ups.
