You're problem sounds to me like it is indeed a housing alignment problem. I've installed a few upgrades myself and you have to fiddle with the drive until it sits just right in relation to the Mac's cover -- otherwise you get the problems that you are having or worse (the disks won't eject at all, and pop themselves back in). It's not too hard to do this yourself if you have some technical experience. (You'll need a long torx #10 driver and a #0 phillips). If not, take it back to the people that installed the upgrade. -- Robert N.
