Closing the CD/DVD drawer
Removing discs
To remove the CD/DVD, follow the steps below.
1. To pop the drawer partially open, press the eject button. Gently pull the
drawer out until it is fully opened.
When the drawer is fully opened, the edge of the computer will extend
slightly over the CD/DVD tray. Therefore, you will need to turn the CD/DVD
at an angle when you place it in the tray. After seating the CD/DVD,
however, make sure it lies flat.
■
Do not touch the laser lens. Doing so could cause misalignment.
■
Prevent foreign objects from entering the drive. Check the surface of
the tray, especially the area behind the front edge of the tray, to make
sure there are no such objects before closing the drive.
If the CD/DVD is not seated properly when the drawer is closed, the CD/
DVD might be damaged. Also, the drawer might not open fully when you
press the eject button.
Do not press the eject button while the computer is accessing the media
drive. Wait for the Optical media drive indicator to go out before you open
the drawer. Also, if the CD/DVD is spinning when you open the drawer,
wait for it to stop before you remove it
.
■
When the drawer pops open slightly, wait a moment to make sure the
CD/DVD has stopped spinning before pulling the drawer fully open.
■
Turn off the power before you use the eject hole. If the CD/DVD is
spinning when you open the drawer, the CD/DVD could fly off the
spindle and cause injury.
