Strange optical drive problem

Hi guys, so, the superdrive in my G5 (I'm a poet and I didn't know it lol)... it works fine, it burns DVDs etc no problem BUT... every time I turn on the computer it ejects the tray? When OSX loads I can press the eject button/F12 to put it back in

So what's up with that? Anyone got any ideas?

 

Well... it would seem that the drive itself is faulty. I've put the SONY one in from the other machine and it doesn't do this

That's a strange thing to go wrong isn't it!

 

Best thing about powermac parts is that they are sooo cheap. Heck, it's almost as cheap to just buy an entire new powermac.
