i did that paper clip trick and i got the tray to open but i have to manually open and close it and it wont read any disc
 
Hi, When the power connector falls off the CD or DVD the light never comes on and the tray wont eject. With power only connected the tray will still eject. Before you give up, open up and check the power connector. If it's OK then the drive is probably dead. Hope this helps, Jim
