Einstein -> RE: im gping crazy dvd read tray opens and closes all the time (4/18/2005 9:22:14 AM) Frankdogg, maybe try it out on another computer first, and see what happens... That way, we can eliminate your own PSU issues. Unfortunately, weird stuff like that does happen to some drives, when the drives' own internal units go a bit nuts :(.
