Tray is blocked on my CDRW.. need help!!!

[earth4x]

Hi guys

I was messing around my comp one day and I realized my CDRW tray was opened a little bit.. tried opening it by pressing on the button but it wouldn't do anything.. I then tried to put a pin the emergency hole.. no luck.. it wouldn't matter how hard I would press down.. it wouldn't move

is there anything else I can do??

Buy a new one... or better yet get a dvd-rw for like $30.

push it back in as hard as possible, and use a knife as a lever
to eject the tray while you have injected the paperclip in the small hole.
if that doesn't work you have to dissasemble your CD-RW

@Waylander What if he has a CD in there that he needs?

If thats the case he can just take the whold thing apart :roll:

That's what i'd say, if he needs it that bad then buy a new DVD-rw and take the old pos apart.

Yah they're pretty easy to disassemble (and reassemble) had to do this more than once. Worked fine after I put it back together so...

After having to swap a motor and laser assembly between two dell laptop drives (same models of course) ripping into a full size one is childs play!

Does the drive even power up? Might just be a ripped rail.

ima see if I can dissasemble it.. thank you all
