Assuming that you can get at the mechanism, you may find that a touch of
hot melt glue from a glue gun, on the end of pushbutton mechanism will
do the trick.
Or put a blob on the button of the CD-drive. This blob can be bigger and
fatter, and easier to do, as you can do it before the drive goes into
the box.
And hot melt glue will pop off with a judicious nudge, if you need to
remove it.
