Post CD Drive-Mind of its own

There has to be a computer wiz out there that would like to solve this problem for me.

I have a Dell Latitude CPt laptop with a removable CD drive. Can anybody explain why the CD drive has suddenly decided to "try to spin up" as soon as power is applied to the computer even though there is no CD in the drive. The drive starts to spin up then stops and this cycle repeats continually until I open the drive.

Anyone have any ideas..The technical guys at Dell have never heard of it and can offer no clues..

I hope this is enough of a challenge for someone to work it out...
