    i have seen optical drives eject by itself, but never about an optical drive ejected by itself when touching the mouse pad , but why don't you try updating the optic drive firmware, i have solved this issue many times doing this

    That's possibly a first... Can you recreate it? Or is it something that happened but does not happen on a repeated basis?
