Hi amberrai....

Look closley at the cd drive and you will notice a small hole (normally on the left side) on the cd drive unit.
Take a paper clip and straighten it out and push the end of the straightened paper clip into that hole, it will release the cd tray and you will be able to remove the cd.
Please take time to rate me

Hi and welcome to fixya!

Just follow these few steps and it should fix the problem (but if the problem keeps on happening, it maybe time to change the ODD).

1. • 1 Locate the optical drive that contains your stuck disk. You'll see a small hole on or immediately below the disk tray.
     
   • 2 Straighten the paper clip.
     
   • 3 Insert the straight end of the paper clip in the hole and push. You should feel it catch inside the latch mechanism.
     
   • 4 Pull the paper clip out gently. The disk tray will come with it.
     
   • 5 Remove the CD or DVD and close the tray.

If you just want to get it open to retreive a disk, you can pop it open with a straightened out paper clip.
Look closely at the face of the DvD player. You should see a small hole usually off to one side slightly. Push the straight paper clip into the hole, you may have to push firmly.
This is the emergency open method. It will allow you to retrieve a stuck disk. It will not fix a broken player.
It's likely you may need to replace the device.

There is a small hole next to the drawer for manual eject.
You need to insert a straightened paper clip to eject.

If this helps please vote for my solution.

The DVD drive's tray might be just stuck. Try this:
1. While the laptop is switched off, straighten a paper clip.
2. Insert the straightened paper clip into the small hole in the DVD drive's door.
3. Gently press towards the inside till the paper clip pushes the handle which releases the drive's door. You will hear a click & the door will eject.

Notice that this has to be done while the laptop is switched off, or you might damage the DVD drive.

hi,
it is a mechanical failure.. time being use this trick. in front side of the ROM you will find the one small hole,take needle like substance around 3 to 4 inch long and put in that hole and press inside, ROM will eject....
Hope this has helped you... Thanks

Power down the laptop and restart it. As soon as it restarts press the open button on the dvd drive and it will open. You may have to try a few times but it will work.

Try seeing if there is a driver update. It sounds crazy but most of the time that will work if you cleaned it all out.
Good luck !

does the light come on on the drive ? have you tried straightening a paper clip an putting it in to the little hole to push the draw open this may make it work if its stuck or try right clicking the drive in explorer and choosing eject from there
good luck
