Your dealer has a pretty strange idea of what "warranty" means if he wants
to charge you for labor for repairs done under warranty.  You might want to
check the text of your warranty to see exactly what's covered.

It sounds like your new drive was not properly mounted in the Mac's frame.
If the 800K drives are not properly aligned with the frame and the front
bezel, it can cause friction which in turn causes ejection to fail as you
describe.  Your dealer should make sure that the drive is properly mounted
and aligned.
