Manually ejecting a CD
If you press the Eject button and the tray does not slide out, turn off the computer and
straighten a large paper clip to form a tool, as shown in the illustration. The
straightened end must extend at least 45 mm (1.8 in.). Insert the extended end into the
manual-eject hole on the front of the drive. Push the paper clip until the tray opens.
Gently pull out the tray until you can remove the CD.
