Solve : Stuck CD in CDROM? |
|
Answer» Can I leave the CD stuck there and shift to an external CDROM without causing some type of conflict. The reason I ask is because the CDROM spins when I BOOT and I often have to press the eject button to get rid of a humming sound. IF not, then how do I inactivate the CDROM so that it doesn't interfere with the external one I might want to install? With the power on or off you can use a straight paper clip and poke it in the hole on the front of the CD drive and the door will open to retrieve/re=seat the CD... Try as I might I cans find no hole in front of the CD drive. The only place I can stick anything in is the slot where the CD goes. EXCEPT that the CD is stuck inside. I spoke with a computer repair firm and they said they don't know how much they will charge to fix it. So since they can't put a ceiling on their charges I chose to PASS. I'm using Windows 95. In any case, thanx for the advice BTW My computer is a compaq presario .Ive never seen a drive without one...it's kinda tiny look again.Flashlight + magnifying glass....if necessary |
