I cant eject cd from drive - Dell XPS M1330 Notebook

don't know of that labtop but hit start, hit computer, right click on cd drive hit eject.

If you hold down the mouse button, and then turn on the eMac, the drive will pop out, and you can put in a CD. Also, you can hold the F12 button to eject. Even if there isn't a dedicated Eject key on the keyboard, you can eject this way.

there should be multimedia touch buttons above the keyboard... for play skip track pause, etc... one of these should be eject, however there have been some issues with this (possibly to be fixed by a software patch)


Alternatively you should be able to eject the disk by going to "MY computer" right click on the correct drive icon for your CD/DVD drive and select Eject from the popup menu

Have you already tried to mannually open the tray, by inserting a thin straight object (like a unbent paper clip) in the manual eject hole on the optical disk drive? The hole exists for that pupose.

if u cant read from cd then do the following procedure:
1 press the button to eject the drive.
2.shut down your system.make sure the drive is ejected.
3. then remove the drive from the cabinet.
4. open the casing of the drive.
5.finally clean the lens with cotton and close the drive.
6.put it into the cabinet.

cheers

please let me know for any problems

WHen the CD is inserted, you can rigtclick it in Windows Explorer, and select Eject. That way the CD will be ejected even if you cannot find the button.

Hi,

Try restarting the computer, and insert the paperclip while the LED light flashes in your CD drive when the computer restarts..

their should be a small hole in front of drive get a paper clip and stick it in there it will pop drive open

You need to provide more information.

A CD-ROM/DVD drive only needs power to eject a disc. It does not care if the drivers are installed, for that function, it only needs power.

If this is a new drive it might be a bad one. If this is a drive you have used before, it might have gone bad.

If you have a Disc stuck in the drive, you can always use a paper clip to preform a manual eject. Just unbend a paper clip, and stick it in the pin size hole on the front of the drive. Keep pushing until the drive door opens.

If this is new drive, make sure it is connected correctly.

can you boot off a windows install disk? if you cant use it to boot from it is possible the bios on the drive is corrupt and you might want to reflash the bios on the drive, like I said try to boot off a cd/ eject when computer first starts to boot, also is this removeable, might want to eject the whole drive and reinsert, also, ususally there is a pinhole on the outside where you can stick a small paperclip into to manually eject the drive.
