2. Place your CD into the loading tray.
3. Using your fingernail or something similar, gently rotate the clips
toward the center of the tray until they cover the edges of the
CD.

Manually ejecting a CD
If you press the Eject/Load button and the tray does not slide out, turn
off the computer and straighten a large paper clip to form a tool, as
shown in the illustration. The straightened end must extend at least 45
mm (1.8 in.). Insert the extended end into the manual-eject hole on
the front of the drive (see “Front view of the drive” on page 2-2).
Push the paper clip until the tray opens. Gently pull out the tray until
you can remove the CD.
