Optical drive will not open

I followed the repair guide for this issue, though the optical drive still will not open when the button is pushed. I can hear it trying and was able to get it to work once with the help of a spudger. Is there a common issue that I may be overlooking? I cleaned the rails, as well as the rubber belt that controls the movement, but nothing seems to be working.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Rubber belt get old and take a set especially if not used for a while. Cleaning doesn't help unless they are still soft.

Start by replacing the belt. If that doesn't work, there may be cracked plastic gears slipping on their shaft. Plastic does that when it gets old.
