[P1] combo drive won't open properly

[Brian D. Hudson]

I thought of that at first, and then tried holding it down for a few 
seconds, but it still doesn't open all the time.  It sounds like it is 
trying to open it, but it just doesn't do it.  I have also tried 
opening it by dragging the icon to the trash, and also ejecting it from 
the file menu in finder.
