Removing discs

To remove CD/DVD's, follow the steps as listed below.
Do not press the eject button while the computer is accessing the media in
the drive, instead wait for the indicator to go out before you open the disc
tray. In addition, if the CD/DVD media is spinning when you open the tray,
wait for it to fully stop before you remove it.
1. When the computer's power is on, press the eject button to open the
disc tray slightly and then gently pull it out of the system until it is fully
opened.
After the disc tray has opened slightly, you should wait for a moment to
ensure the CD/DVD media has stopped spinning before you fully open the
tray.
2. The CD/DVD media will extend slightly over the sides of the disc tray in
order that you can hold it. Grasp it carefully by its edges and lift it
vertically off of the central spindle and out of the tray.
3. Press the center of the disc tray in order to close it - the tray will click
into place when it is locked.
How to remove a CD/DVD when the disc tray will not open
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 15mm
into the eject hole just to the right of the drive's eject button.
