Removing discs
To remove the CD/DVD, follow the steps below.
1. To pop the disc tray partially open, press the eject button. Gently pull
the disc tray out until it is fully opened.
When the disc tray is fully opened, the edge of the computer will extend
slightly over the CD/DVD tray. Therefore, you will need to turn the CD/DVD
at an angle when you place it in the disc tray. After seating the CD/DVD,
however, make sure it lies flat.
■ Do not touch a laser lens and its circumference portion. Doing so could
cause misalignment.
■ Prevent foreign objects from entering the drive. Check the surface of
the disc tray, especially the area behind the front edge of the disc tray,
to make sure there are no such objects before closing the drive.
If the CD/DVD is not seated properly when the disc tray is closed, the CD/
DVD might be damaged. Also, the disc tray might not open fully when you
press the eject button.
Do not press the eject button while the computer is accessing the media
drive. Wait for the Optical media drive indicator to go out before you open
the disc tray. Also, if the CD/DVD is spinning when you open the disc tray,
wait for it to stop before you remove it.
When the disc tray pops open slightly, wait a moment to make sure the CD/
DVD has stopped spinning before pulling the disc tray fully open.
