3 Troubleshooting Your PC
If Your PC Has a Hardware Problem
CD-ROM Drive Door Does Not Open
If you have difficulty removing a CD-ROM disk from the CD-ROM drive
(during a power failure for example), you can use the manual eject
button. To eject a CD-ROM disk using the manual eject button, do the
following:
1 If the CD-ROM drive manual eject button is not visible, remove the
front bezel covering the CD-ROM drive. The manual eject button is
inside a small hole on the front of the CD-ROM drive.
2 With a thin, solid rod, such as the end of a paper clip, push the
CD-ROM’s manual eject button.
3 The CD-ROM drive door will be released, opening slightly. Carefully
pull it open fully and retrieve the disk.
4 To close the CD-ROM drive door, push it gently closed without
forcing it. The CD-ROM drive door may not close completely until it
is fully functional (for example, when the power comes back on).
5 If required, replace the CD-ROM drive’s front bezel.
If an Accessory Board Does Not Work
Carry out the following checks:
Ensure the board has been firmly installed in the slot.
Check that the accessory board has been correctly configured.
Ensure the board is not using memory, I/O addresses, an IRQ, or
DMA also used by the PC. Refer to "IRQs, DMAs, and I/O Addresses
Used by Your PC", on page 65. Refer to the board’s manual for further
details.
