The tray motor snapped the only thing that was holding it in place, which was the motor power pins.

pic02 is the spinner(?) that is held in place by the case and the brace (as seen in pic06 and 07).
pic03 is the tray motor and belt as shown from the topside.
pic04 shows the motor and control board lifted away from the clips that hold the PCB in place. The plastcis push up on the motor and the raised rim only seems to offer locating to the motor.
pic05 (though a little blurry) shows the belt back in place after the control board has been clipped in place. If the belt is fitted before the PCB is clipped in, the belt pulls the motor to one side pulling it off it's position.
pic06 shows the brace(?) which locates the spinner(?)
pic07 shows the spinner in place ready for the case to go back on.
NOTE: the tray needs to be left in the open position to reassemble the case.
After fixing this break the drive has sucessfully read and burn several disks. It looks like the drive is fine, I have yet to burn dual layer but it read dual layer disk with no sign of failure.
