Emergency Eject Hole
The structure inside the emergency eject hole is as shown
below. When you push a thin, stiff wire into the hole, it presses
one of the vanes around the gear, thus rotating the gear for
ejecting the tray. Repeating this action three times or so ejects
the tray out.
If you cannot successfully eject the tray by pushing a thin, rigid
object in, the situation may be as follows. The four vanes may
be oriented just at the angles as shown below.
In such a case, push the tip of the thin wire in the
following direction with the wire angled at about 15
degrees so that the tray can easily be ejected.
