Its still there, tried cleaning it , no help.

I detached the CD mech assy from the slider bar, the sled seemed to never be moving so I nudged it a bit with my finger, there was a small POP noise and it moves now, but this piece fell out:

This place had one:

Apparently there is a spring in it, as I suspected so its probably lost, fallen out since its so tiny. Might get lucky with a spring from a pen, dunno.
