Manually ejecting a CD

If you press the Eject/Load button and the tray does not slide out, turn off the computer. Straighten a large paper clip to form a tool, as shown in the illustration below. 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 (see “Front view of the drive” on page 1-3). Push the paper clip into the hole until the tray opens. Gently pull out the tray until you can remove the CD.
