Troubleshooting the optical disc drive

My optical disc drive tray does not open

If power supply to the optical disc drive is disabled by VAIO Power Management, the substitute drive eject button on the
optical disc drive will not work. Use the drive eject button located above the keyboard. Note that it will take a while to eject
the drive tray if the optical disc drive is not powered.
Click Start and then My Computer. Right-click the optical disc drive and select Eject.
Make sure the computer is not in Standby or Hibernate mode.
If this does not work, try the following:
Turn off the computer and insert a sharp, pointed object (for example a paperclip) into the manual eject hole* on the optical
disc drive to slide out the tray.
* The location of the eject button and hole depends on your model of your computer. See
