CD drive problem

[Guest]

I cannot get the CD in my CD ROM drive to eject. Have not had this problem
before. The eject button will not eject the CD. The eject command on the
drive in 'my computer' is not responsive. Any ideas???

Straighten a paper clip, push the straight end into
the little (I mean small) hole on the front of the CD drive, there
will be a bit of resistance. Keep your hand out of the way. You
might consider doing this one with the computer turned OFF.

Sometimes it just gets stuck.

if you shut the pc down and the re start it pushing the eject button on the
drive during boot up but before windows starts often works - the paperclip
trick is more fun though!
