There isn't a disk in it and it just keeps coming open. I've rebooted my computer thinking that would help but it continues. I have a Dell 4400, about 4 years old. Any suggestions?

Its a problem which is inbuilt in the CD-ROM drives which where produced in a particular Batch found especially in Samsung drives. Take the drive to your service centre. There is a circular pick up wheel in the drives which rotates when the tray is slided in or out, take a hand file and just slightly file the surface of the wheel to make it a bit rough. This is the only solution to make it work.
