    Mine is a Thomson drive, and the drawer is stuck. I do not believe there is a problem with the laser.

    Have you tried taking the top off of the disc tray to see if it will open then?

    Have you given it a good whack? I have the same problem with mine only when no disc is present. It would appear that the spindle magnet is a little too strong, although mine is a Samsung so you might have a different problem.
