Has anyone else experienced this problem?  I own one of the platinum 3.5
drives.  It's approximately one year old and the ejection motor that
pops the disk out has conked out on me.  It's not the front switch because
the software control also fails to eject the disk.  I know of at least
3 other platinum drives in this area that this has also happened to.

I took the drive into my local dealer and all he said he could do was
to replace the entire inside of the drive for $200.  That didn't settle
well with me since the drive works perfectly except for ejecting disks.
How difficult would it be to just replace the ejection motor?
