Compared to my old NEC 16x10x40x CDRW which had a very loud and powerful tray mechanism, my new 40125S tray seems a little weak, mainly when ejecting.
When i eject the tray, it tends to start fast and then slows as it reaches the fully "out" position (almost sounds like it is going to run out of juice l). Is this normal?
When i retract the tray "in", it seems much faster and more powerful.
I know, odd question, but just curious.
It’s normal for a Liteon. Have 2, but don’t find too big a difference between the noise they make or the rate at which they open and close.
However, if the tray opens toooooooo slowly, you might have a problem.
when i press eject on my 40125W thats overclocked to a 48125W
i dont get no blinking light then the tray comes out like you ???
when i press eject my tray flys out with out eny lights blinking
instantly 
then when i press eject again it goes back in instantly !!!
im not to shure what the 16x liteons are like they could have difrent eject method …

Thanks;)
So it’s normal for the tray to slow down as it reaches a fully open state?
I did some testing with CD Speed, and the eject/load times are 1.38 sec/1.30 sec respectively.
