MY CD ROM DRIVE ON MY PC HAS A TRAY THAT COMES OUT TO ACCEPT AND TAKE IN CD TO BE READ AS WITH MOST COMPUTERS. HOWEVER, THIS TRAY IS NOW IN THE STUCK POSITION AND THE MOTOR/MECHANICAL DEVICE THAT THE PC INTERNALLY USES TO PUSH OUT THE TRAY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING. I CAN MANUALLY CAUTIOUSLY TAKE IT OUT BUT OTHERWISE IT WON'T COME OUT TO TAKE THE CD INWARD. SHORT OF BUYING A NEW CD DRIVE WHAT CAN I DO TO SOLVE THIS HARDWARE PROBLEM? LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WORRY ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF YOUR CONTROL.

Probably nothing - replace the unit and LAY OFF the frikken CAPS LOCK Resist the temptation to close your request for help with semantically-null questions like “Can anyone help me?”

Yep they are a throw-away. Not worth the expense to try fixing. If it's simply a CDROM you can probably pick one up for under $20 I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.
