Mike, try this:<br />
Place a CD in the drive and note it's orientation.<br />
<br />
Open the tray and note whether the disc position has moved at all.<br />
<br />
If so, the motor moved it.<br />
If not, the motor isn't running. (unless it stopped in exactly the same place...... &nbsp;unlikely)<br />
