If your 280c physically fits into the dock then you have a Dock Plus or a
Duo Dock with a exchange lid to house those duos that had the color screen
(280c , 2300c). If your book is properly drawn in and ejected then the
little motor and the two latches with springs controlling these procedures
should be OK. So I can't see what could be the "grabber" you have to pull  -
anyway there is no problem with the type of DuoDock.
