3.4. Emergency Ejection of Discs
In the event that a CD cannot be ejected with the Open/Close button and the software is not controlling the drive, use the
emergency eject operation to open the disc tray. First, switch off your computer and the CD-RW drive and unplug the drive's
power.
Warning!
Make sure the CD-RW drive is off and the power unplugged before attempting the emergency ejection
procedure.
On the front of the drive is the Emergency Eject Hole (
fig.3.2 #3
). Insert a small metal poker, such as an unbent paper clip,
into the Emergency Eject Hole until the poker presses against the manual eject mechanism. You will feel the mechanism eject
the disc tray. Only use this method when the Open/Close button is not working.
