The same happens if I put a disk in there. I put a dvd in the drive and closed it, but it got spit out, spinning very very fast.
One thing that I just remembered, and might be worth mentioning is that when it was jammed and would not open at all or repsond, I stuck a paper clip in the manual eject hole and made it open that way.
Any ideas?
Unplug the power, and restart, I hope you did that when you flashed?
