disc tray slightly and then gently pull it out of the system until it is fully

3. Press the center of the disc tray in order to close it - the tray will click
into place when it is locked.
If the CD/DVD is not seated properly when the disc tray is closed, you may
find that the media itself might become damaged, and/or the disc tray
might not open fully when you next press the eject button.
Do not press the eject button while the computer is accessing the media in
the drive, instead wait for the indicator to go out before you open the disc
tray. In addition, if the CD/DVD media is spinning when you open the tray,
wait for it to fully stop before you remove it.
After the disc tray has opened slightly, you should wait for a moment to
ensure the CD/DVD media has stopped spinning before you fully open the
tray.
