CD Drive Tray problems
There are two ways to open the CD drive door if the button just below the drive tray does not work.
Go to My Computer and right click on the drive and click on Eject.
If this does not work then you can manually open the CD drive tray by -
Straighten a paper clip and gently insert it into a tiny hole below the drive tray next to the Eject button. Push the paper clip gently until the drive tray pops out, then pull the tray until it is fully out, then you can remove the CD disc.
If you continue having problem opening with the Eject button, then the CD drive is faulty and needs replacing.

SOURCE: DVD R/RW Wont dont anything

From the device manager, Right click on the drive and uninstall it. Then restart your computer. See if that helps.

If still not, then you can try this step.

1) Close all open programs
2) Click on Start, Run, and type REGEDIT and press Enter
3) Click on the plus signs (+) next to the following folders

* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
* SYSTEM
* CurrentControlSet
* Control
* Class
* {4D36E965-E325-11CE-
BFC1-08002BE10318}

4) This folder is the DVD/CD-ROM Drive Class Description in the registry. Look for any of the following names in the right hand column.

* UpperFilters
* LowerFilters
* UpperFilters.bak
* LowerFilters.bak

5) If any of the above keys shown in step 4 are listed, right-click on them and choose Delete
6) After deleting the keys, close the Registry Editor
7) Reboot your computer

You might just have a bad CD drive. Laser might have gone bad.

Dvd wont eject from my acer aspire

You will have better luck on a Windows PC solution if you post this under a non-Macintosh forum. Also, please include what model Acer Aspire. Acer has had literally hundreds of different model computers called "Aspire", since the mid 1990s.

However, Windows PCs with Internal CD and DVD drives, in general, will have an emergency eject lever on them.

1. Look at the front of the DVD drive to find a small hole. It will be about the right size to stick a straightened out paper clip into it.
2. Do That. Straighten out a paperclip and stick it straight in until you feel a resistance.
3. Keep pushing on that until the drawer of the DVD drive opens enough to grab it with your fingers.
4. Slowly pull the drawer open to retrieve your disc.
5. Seek hardware repair or replace the drive if it continues to not operate via the push button on the front of the drive.

Cd drive in my acer aspire x1700 doesn't open

You are going to need a paper clip. Look fo a small hole next to the switch. straighten the paper clip and put it in the hole in the center. carefully push to activate the mechansium to open the door. Then you can troubleshoot the door. Turn off the computer then pull the power cord from it. Open the computer case find the power cable to the cdrom/dvdcdrw and push it in to make sure you have good connection. If it still doesn't work after this then you can get a new drive for less than $30.00 (usd)

Hope this helps,
