Crazy easy fix for stuck BenQ cd/dvd drives.

Hello,

You may not believe it and I may not believe it myself but this actually works.

First I tell you shortly where this solution came from... probably me... misinterpreting somebody elses solution or maybe I interpret it correctly. I don't know but the following fix seems to work 100% reliable for my BenQ drive which got stuck... I already tried oiling it by dropping oil on it through the opening... and also tried cleaning it etc... with little luck... probably stupid to try it that way anyway... I also noticed these cords/chains or whatever.

I also tried pulling it out today/the tray with sticky tape but didn't really seem to work it might have something to do with it though but for now:

But here goes:

1. There is a small little hole in front of the cd/dvd drive.
2. If you put your finger on it or some sticky tape and then press the open button, the tray should shoot out.

Why the **** this works I don't know ?!

Maybe it's creating some kind of suction/vacuum or it's just enough to make the weak motor overcome the somewhat stronger magnets ?!

Anyway already solution was from this site but maybe they/he/it ment another hole lol... so I am have accidently discovered this crazy easy fix ?! Isn't that funny ?!

So here is my question to the "experts" out there ?!

How the **** is it possible that plugging this little hole at the front of the bay/drive fixes it ?! HUH ?!?!?!?!

Example of tiny little hole:

Right there in the middle.

Is this some kind of chinese conspiracy ?!? Drive manufactured to fail to open after some time... and this tiny little hole is there secret to opening ?!

Wow... nice internet conspiracy theory ! =D

(Also in case picture is too hard to find for you here you go, maybe I make/upload another one later for now here is video:
