Optical drive without eject/load button

SBVH · Aug 16, 2013

My Lenovo K450 came with a TSSTcorp DVD-RW SH-216BB optical drive. I can open it with a keyboard function or file explorer. But the following front panel feaures are missing:

Emergency eject hole
LED activity indicator
Eject/Load button

Is there a workaround or should I replace the drive? All suggestions appreciated.

Thank you very much, mauller07.

Perfect solution. Lenovo and Samsung have poor documentation and support.

Best wishes,
