hi guys.I want to ask you if anyone knows how i can control a motor which included on a DVD writer machine of my pc.The work of this motor is to open and close the cd case.

1.How can i make to turn rigth and left the motor?I have 5V supply.the motor has only two pins.
2.I want to control it by pic microcontroller.if something happens to something the motor.


i believe motor is a step motor but i don't no this really.
 
No it's not a stepper, just a simple DC motor with limit switches.

You need either an H-Bridge or a DPDT relay to move it in either direction, make absolutely sure you use the limit switches correctly.
