Did you know...
If your Notebook power is off, you will not be
able to eject a disc from the CD or DVD drive. To remove a disc
without powering up your Notebook, you must eject the disc from
the drive manually.
If you need to eject a disc when the power is off, complete the
following steps to eject the disc manually:
1. Make sure the power is off and any external power sources
are disconnected.
2. Insert a small rod or pin, such as a paper clip (approximately
1/16 inch in diameter and at least 3/8 inch in length) into the
Manual Eject Hole and push firmly as shown in the
preceding figure.
3. Remove the disc from the tray.
4. Gently push the tray back into the drive until it locks into
place.
