How to remove CD/DVD/BD when the disc tray will not open
Pressing the eject button will not open the disc tray when the computer
power is off. If the power is off, you can open the disc tray by inserting a
slender object (about 15 mm) such as a straightened paper clip into the
eject hole near the eject button.

Turn off the power before you use the eject hole. If the CD/DVD/BD is
spinning when you open the disc tray, the CD/DVD/BD could fly off the
spindle and cause injury.
The optical drive installed on this computer cannot write multiple sessions
on DVD-R Dual Layer disc sessions. Once a disc has been written to once,
it will be finalized. Once finalized, no further writing to the disc will be
possible regardless of what portion of the total disc capacity was used.
