Solve : Problem with optical drive? |
|
Answer» While ripping a cd on my laptop, there was a loud buzzing NOISE like the disc was out of balance. The disc stopped playing, and now I can't get it to eject. I think the disc is wedged between the door and the interior of the drive. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Quote While ripping a cd on my laptop,Found the source of the problem.... Anyways, is this a Laptop or Desktop? On the CD Drive, there should be a small hole. Get a paper clip and put it into that hole and push it in (you have to use force). This is the manual CD Release.Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on August 26, 2008, 04:08:40 AM QuoteWhile ripping a cd on my laptop,Found the source of the problem....

Must be getting tired.Thanks for the info. I tried the paper clip method, but the disc was wedged in the drive and wouldn't move. After inspecting the bottom of the computer I found the mounting SCREW for the drive. After removing this the entire drive slid out and I was able to retrieve the disc. Did the disc blow up in the drive?No, it jumped of the spindle and was loose inside the computer. Heh, strange....QuoteWhile ripping a cd on my laptop,Found the source of the problem.... All better?Yes! All is well in computing land. Thanks again for the outstanding advice. No problem. |
