Just a quick note to say thanks for the help

I fixed this ages ago then remembered I hadn't told you all how it went.

In the end I couldn't do anything other than open it up and see what was wrong. It was a complex little thing actually, little slot loading mechanism didn't want to come out of its shell (there were about 3 different compartments to open to get to it) and then it was locked down itself

After doing that I noticed there was a little rubber belt working the whole loading mechanism jammed inside its holder. I freed it and didn't screw back the screw so hard as it was before.

It then worked fine... but CDROM drives, like most things, are much easier to take apart than to fix back together, trust me!
