My drive is stuck, and doesn't want to eject. I've already tried using a paperclip, and while that will cause the drive to eject, that unfortunately appears to be the only way to cause it to eject, because any other time I hit the eject button, the drive tries to eject, but remains closed. What can I do to cause the drive tray to eject by hitting the eject button? Is there some kind of mechanism that needs to be manually pressed/pulled besides the usual pinhole in the drive?

That's the obvious thing to do. The only problem is the drive wasn't used that much, so I'm looking for alternative solutions to get it to work again.

That gives me no new information. I'm not made of money, and would rather fix than replace components if at all possible. I'll replace it when every other option has failed.

can it still eject if you send a software command?
(for XP, right-click drive -> eject)
