[Tuxaloosa] OT: annoying cd/dvd drive

[Stewart Dean]

If not for the "in use" bit, I might be tempted to think that the switch 
may be broken.  If the button on the faceplate is broken and the switch 
is significantly loose, there might be an issue there.  Try removing the 
faceplate on the drive and see if it still happens...
