Emergency Ejection of a Blocked Disc
If the tray fails to open automatically, then the tray can be opened manually
provided there is an opening for emergency ejection.
Restart your notebook and if the tray is still locked proceed as follows:
1. Shut down Windows and switch off your notebook.
2. Insert a long thin object (like a straightened paper clip) into the emergency
ejection opening until you feel resistance.
3. Press lightly and the tray will open.
4. Remove the disc and restart the notebook.
Playing Back and Retrieving Data from Discs
Your notebook is able to playback and to retrieve Audio CDs, DVD Movies and Data
discs.
After loading the disc your operating system will open a selection window with
different options for playback. Normally there are various programs at your
disposal.
If your operating system doesn’t open the selection window you still have the
possibility of the access via the “Explorer” or “Computer”.
