1.
With the lid on and while the unit is powered, press the eject button to open the CD tray (See
figure 1).
In the unlikely event that you are unable to eject the CD tray, you can try the following methods.
Below the right hand corner of the CD drawer is a small manual eject pin hole, inserting a pin or
straightened out paper clip into this hole should open the drawer whilst the power is applied. If
this fails then you will need to remove the CDROM drive (See page
*DA_REMOVE_CDROM_DRIVE*) to gain access to the CD drawer front.
2.
With the drawer still open (see figure 2), place the unit into standby and then remove the power.
3.
The drawer front is attached to the drive's plastic drawer front using 2x 3M double sided sticky
pads.
4.
Using the flat bladed screwdriver, gently prise the metal drawer front from the CDROM's
original drawer front. See figure 3.
5.
After the metal drawer front has been removed, completely remove any traces for the double
sided sticky pads as new pads will need to be used to fit it again.
Pin or Straighten out Paper clip (if necessary)
