Thanks! It had been a long time since I'd been inside my towers! Easy-peasy!

I am having problems with the new optical drive not being able to eject and close without my help. Any thoughts?

footeking -

Did you take off the front of the tray?

nbeijer -

Awesome!!! Worked like a charm! Drive is totally busted. Do you have a link or a suggestion for an optical drive for a late 2009 Mac pro? Thanks either way!

Jay Haser -

The unit holding the optical drive will NOT pull out at all and I and really pulling on it and wiggling it. All other videos show it popping out with little force. What am I doing wrong?

I am having the same problem did you figure out what was wrong?
