To try repair the 1st one:
Go to the OPEN FIRMWARE -
on restart - hold CMD+OPT+O+F,
enter 'eject cd' at the 0> prompt there

To try repair the second one:
you may need to put a round piece of paper between the metal power switch
ring and the gasket or
get a thicker gasket from Apple by mail or
remove the gasket altogether :)

Cheers,
Zak.
