How to remove CD/DVD 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 just to the right of the eject button.

Writing CDs on DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive
Depending on the type of drive installed, you may be able to write CDs. The
DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive lets you write as well as read CD-ROMs.
Observe the precautions in this section to ensure the best performance for
writing CDs. For information on loading and unloading CDs refer to the
Using optical disk drives section.
Eject hole
15mm
Turn off the power before you use the eject hole. If the CD/DVD is spinning
when you open the disc tray, the CD/DVD could fly off the spindle and
cause injury.
■ Refer to the Writable discs, section in Chapter 2 for details about the
types of writable CD/DVD discs.
■ Do not turn off the power of the optical disc drive while the computer is
accessing the drive. If you turn off the power, you may lose data.
When writing to media using an optical disc drive, always connect the AC
adaptor to a power plug socket. If data is written while powered by the
battery pack, writing may sometimes fail due to low battery power and data
loss may occur.
