Manually ejecting a disc
If you press the Eject/Load button and the tray does not slide out, turn off the computer. Straighten a
large paper clip to form a tool, as shown in the illustration. The straightened end must extend at least 45

controls and connectors” on page 1-3). Push the paper clip into the hole until the tray opens. Gently pull
out the tray until you can remove the disc.
