My dvd drive keeps popping in and out...

Trojan or something?

There is a trojan that does this, makes it go in and out 😛

I knew someone who had this problem with a cheap 8x4x32x CD-RW drive. I put in my computer and it did the same thing. It wouldn't open all the time...just randomly. The drive was screwed up.

Faulty drive locking mechanism. If something stops the drive from closing completely, they will re-open so you can 'clear the error'

I had a problem with this in the past as well. It turned out that the tray-plate was a little out of place. All i did was to realign the plate and all was well.

And by tray-plate, i mean the little piece of plastic that actually sits perpendicular to the cd tray, in the very front of the drive.
