If your Notebook power is off,
you will not be able to eject a
disc from the CD or DVD
drive. To remove a disc without
powering up your Notebook,
you must manually eject the
disc from the drive.
Manually Ejecting a Disc
If you need to eject a disc when the power is off, complete the
following steps to eject the disc manually:
1. Make sure the power is off and any external power sources
are disconnected.
2. Insert a small rod or pin, such as a paper clip
(approximately 1/16 inch in diameter and at least 3/8 inch
in length) into the Manual Eject Hole and push firmly as
shown in the figure above.
3. Remove the disc from the tray. Gently push the tray back
into the drive until it locks into place.
