How to open DVD module - Dell Latitude D600 Notebook

It could be a "physical" problem.

Take a Norwegian paper-clip, and straighten one end.
Insert that end into the small hole in the face-plate of the drive,
and push until you feel resistance.
Then, firmly push another 10mm (1/4 inch) and the drive should "unlock" and open slightly.
Press the open/close button to fully open the tray.

Try going to my computer, right click your drive, and select Eject.
Hope this Helps

No it's not hidden but don't fret just open your wallet.

You need what is called an RF Modulator. All you do is connect your A/V component ( DVD ) to the modulator's input jacks, then connect the modulator to your TV's antenna/cable input and select channel 3 or 4 operation.

Your local department or super center should have it. If not you can always go to a Radio Shack near you they will have it.

An easy fix with a new one. There is one screw in the bottom of the machine that holds it in. Remove that screw, pull out the module, remove any mounting hardware that is attached (putting it on the new module) and reinsert new.
