able to open the tray.
When you finish using a disc, wait until the LED indicator turns off and then press the eject button to remove the disc.
If the disc does not come out when you press the eject button, go to

of your mouse and select
Eject
. If it still does not work, turn off the computer and insert a thin, pointed object (e.g. a paper clip) into the manual
eject hole.
