I have had this exact same problem myself.

I resolved it and have had no more issues with it since I replaced the
CD Rom drive.

hint hint.

The other thing that will happen is if you mistakenly try to open the
drive while it is reading/writing.

Be sure the little led is off and that it has been off for several
seconds before attempting to open the drive..

In short, I believe it's time to replace that puppy!

And since I just got a brand new 40 X CD Burner for like $13.95 +
shipping, it's not exactly like you can't afford to replace the drive.
