Manually ejecting a disc

If a drive becomes defective and will not allow the disc to eject, turn off the
computer and straighten a large paper clip to form a tool. The straightened
end must extend at least 45 mm (1.8 in.). Insert the extended end into the
emergency 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 disc.
