Optical Drive Troubles

When you first turn on the laptop, do you hear the drive run through it's eject cycle?

Just trying to see if it's getting power...

yes it does run through its eject cycle at startup. It also, when you stick a disc pretty far into it, makes some pretty weird noises then actually pushes it back out with its eject cycle. The only thing it doesn't do is suck it in haha.
