2 things, I presume you know you cannot open it while it is mounted, type
'mount' to see if it is. Most cdroms have an emergency eject (stuck cd's
are quite common). This normally involves sticking a straightened paperclip
into a small hole in the front of the cd drive.

This looks more like a hardware fault..
When Linux mounts the cdrom it 'locks' the cdrom so the
buttons on the
front no longer work
when you umount the cdrom it should 'restore' the buttons.

Is there any setting in 5.3 that would deactivate the open
button on a
cdrom? Mine won't open after I reinstalled 5.3 due to a m$
virus wiping
my hdd. (I at the time dual booted to either m$ or 5.3
Since then my cdrom won't open.
Thanks
Denis
