I need some help, my CD-ROM is stuck and I dont know what to do. When I push the eject button, a yellow light turns on and it seems that the drive is trying to open but It cant. Please HELP!!
take a paper clip, straighten part of it than insert in small hole in face plate & push in til tray pops open. might want to get a new 1 as about $20Can or a cd burner for $35Can
Once it was suggested to use a small screwdriver and lightly pry open the tray. This can happen if by accident someone put two cd's in the tray at once.
LOL, I have done that before now..........not good....... I took out my device and opened the unit and removed the discs that way, that way I ensured if there was any damage caused in the first instance, then it would not cause more damage if I tried to open the tray. The screwdriver should work, use it when you have pressed the eject button (more chance of success, as the mech should be unlocked)
LOL, just thought, it maybe that the mech is locked (irrespective of the switch), in which case it won't make a difference.............. Maybe worth seeing if you can pop off the top..............
