How to remove CD/DVD/BD when the disc tray will not open

Pressing the eject button will not open the disc tray when the computer power is off. If the power is off, you can open the disc tray by inserting a slender object (about 15 mm) such as a straightened paper clip into the eject hole near the eject button.

Turn off the power before you use the eject hole. If the CD/DVD/BD is spinning when you open the disc tray, the CD/DVD/BD could fly off the spindle and cause injury.

Writing CD/DVD/BDs on DVD Super Multi drives, BD Writer drives or BD Combo drives
