the dvd drive on my clamshell ibook would not open. I used a paperclip to release it, but now the drive will not click and stay shut. the drive works, will play store bought dvds. Can this be repaired or does the drive need to be replaced Thanks David

The opening mechanism may have stuck when you placed the paper clip in it forcing it to stay open. Try using the clip several times to see if you can get it to release.
