Title: Manual Tray Ejection

Manual Tray Ejection

If your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive tray mechanism malfunctions & your CD or DVD refuses to eject from the drive , here's a simple way of rescuing it manually .

In such a case , your tool is a simple pin ! You can even use a straightened paper clip or anything else that's thin & pointed . Locate the little hole right below the CD tray of your Drive. Insert the pin in the hole & push it straight & slowly until the drive ejects the media inside.

Its preferable to try this only in case of emergencies
