    Ok so i got my new inspiron 1720 today. Everything looks fine but I have one small problem. When I press the eject button on the dvd burner, the drive only comes out half way, so I have to pull it out everytime. Is anyone else getting this problem? Should I contact dell about it?

    I shouldnt have said half way...I tried ejecting it again, and only 1/5 of it pops out...not enough to put the disk in so I have to pull it out all the way. so again should I be concerned or is this normal?
