Randomly, today, my iMac TFT 700MHz (OS X 7M34) has failed to respond to the CD tray open button on the keyboard. Thinking the keyboard was to blame I added the eject.menu menu-extra but when clicked it says, in disabled-grey "No devices".
It also doens't display the CD that's in it any more.
When I opened System Information (System Profiler?) I found that my DVD/CD-R drive is no longer listed in the ATA devices pane.
What the heck is going on ? I've rebooted a few times, tried repair permissions (with /usr/sbin/diskutil) and '/usr/sbin/diskutil -yf' from single-user mode, all to no effect.
I also tried booting with the mouse button down, didn't work.
I tried fink's 'eject' yesterday and it worked perfectly.
I've pretty much exhausted my inventiveness, any suggestions ?
