Removing a Disc (Without Power)
If the notebook is turned off or if no power is available, the release button on the optical drive will not work. To remove a disc from an optical drive without using the release button:
1.Insert the end of a small object like a paper clip into the release access 1 in the front bezel of the drive.
2.Press gently on the paper clip until the media tray is released, then pull the tray outward until it is fully extended 2.
3.Remove the disc from the tray by gently pushing down on the spindle while pulling up on the outer edges of the disc 3. Handle the disc by the edges, not the flat surfaces. If the media tray is not fully extended, tilt the disc as you remove it.
4.Close the media tray 4.
5.Place the disc in a protective case.
