A few people reported that their DVD drive came loose during transport. Did you take a look after removing the top cover? Might only be a little off. There are also several sensors to detect the media location, maybe one is not mounted right and confuses the unit. If nothing helps, one guys had success getting his local Alpine shop repair his DVD ROM after some springs came out of the unit.

Good luck...

This seems to be a very comon problem. I've found a source for just the DVD drives in Germany, and have an order in for a couple replacements. The supplier also gave me step by step directions on the replacement procedure (doesn't seem very difficult). I'll keep you posted on the outcome.
