I honestly don't know.

I honestly don't know that, either. This type of gremlin can only be
investigated with the system (or at least the drive) right in front of one
of us. I suspect dust, dirt or some other type of obstruction has gotten
inside the eject button, but I'll never be able to test that theory from
here (plus it could be something else entirely, like a partially inserted
power plug). To test the first idea, the drive will need to be removed from
the system, the front bezel will need to be removed from the drive and then
the entire area around the eject button will need to be examined to see if
anything is impeding the travel of the button. Compressed air may or may
not work to clean out the area, so even further work may be required to set
things right, assuming that's the problem, of course.
