Turn on the computer.

 

To remove a disc when the

 

computer is powered off, insert

 

a pointed object (e.g., the bent-

 

out tip of a paper clip)

into the emergency hole (A). Pushing it completely to the end will free the tray so that it can be pulled out. (The position of the emergency hole differs depending on the drive.)

If a disc with fingerprints or other dirt is used, you may not be able to remove it. Use a clean disc.
