Q: Mac Pro circa 2008 tower DVD/CD drive flap stuck open
I just hit the open button to open the drive by mistake and when I closed it the door flap did not come down.
The drive itself does load a dvd okay no problem there.
I have the Everything Mac book so I can open it up no problem - any one else have a stuck flap problem?
Mac OS X (10.6.8)

That silver flap moves UP into the space, not down.
If you remove the optical drive enclosure, the flap mechanism will be in plain sight against the front wall. It may need some lube, it may be bent, or it may have a broken spring.
