Every time I try to close my disk drive it will close about ninety five percent of the way and then It will eject. It almost looks like it is getting stuck from something in the back. Should I try to rip apart my disk drive to see what is wrong with it, or is there anything else that could possibly be wrong with my dvdrom drive

there is something jamming the electronic gears that close the drive, turn off your computer> if you look closely there is a hole on your drive that is very small and located usally in the center)> flatten a paper clip and put it through the hole> the tray should pop open> try closing the tray with your hands and see if anything is blocking the tracks for the tray to go in, if it doesn't go in all the way then disconnect your drive from your computer and try to dislodge what every was blocking it,
