How to remove a CD/DVD/BD when the disc tray will not open
Tray ODD
Pressing the eject button will not open the disc tray when the computer is
turned off although, in these circumstances, you can open the tray by
inserting a slender object such as a straightened paper clip about 25mm
into the eject hole just to the right of the drive's eject button.
You must ensure that you turn off the power before you use the eject hole.
If the CD/DVD/BD media is spinning when you open the disc tray, it may fly
off of the spindle and cause injury.
