How to remove disc when the disc tray will not open
Pressing the eject button will not open the disc tray when the computer
power is off. If the power is off, you can open the disc tray by inserting a
slender object (about 15 mm) such as a straightened paper clip into the
eject hole near the eject button.
1. Eject hole
Turn off the power before you use the eject hole. If the disc is spinning
when you open the disc tray, the disc could fly off the spindle and cause
injury.
