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 1-3). Push the paper clip until the tray opens. Gently pull out the tray until you
can remove the CD.
