I have an iMac model 4,1 running OSX 10.6.8.   The CD/DVD drive went bad and I have replaced it.  However I can not get disks to eject.   I have asked about this before and tried all all the suggestions I have received but I can not eject.

I have an iMac model 4,1 running OSX 10.6.8.   The CD/DVD drive went bad and I have replaced it.  However I can not get disks to eject.   I have asked about this before and tried all all the suggestions I have received but I can not eject.  
Yesterday I opened up the iMac and reinstalled the drive to make sure that it was not an alignment problem.   I still can not eject.   When I try to eject the drive makes noises like it is ejecting but the disk does not come out.
How do I solve this problem?

Hi again Hal
Link to your other thread > The slot loading CD/DVD drive in my...: Apple Support Communities
You have also tried resetting the PRAM as I suggestion in your other thread...?
See resetting the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
