While those resistors are not how they should be, Id point the finger at them.
They (iirc) control eject / tray commands - if tray status is open it probably wont work.
good point, but If i touch the probe to the r909 resistor I can make the tray eject or close so the status should be closed. I will try again some more and see what I come up with.

I have put a wire from r710 to its connection on the power plug and also did the same thing for r709. My drive now ejects again properly.
Are you sure it was safe to bridge the resistors?
