starship_troopers Posted March 28, 2009 CID Share Posted March 28, 2009 Ok, well I knew my DVD burner drive was going out, and I knew i needed to replace it. Problem is Now even with the emergency eject pin getting pushed it wont open...the light just comes on and it clicks. and there is a cd in it. any ideas how to get it out? if it involves breaking and or beating the bloody pulp out of this drive thats fine...but i want to get the cd out...its my install cd to NERO 7. I'm buying a new one since this has been overly used for the last few years which is no reason for me to be suprised that its going out...but how do i get the cd out?

tommie gorman Posted March 29, 2009 CID Share Posted March 29, 2009 If it still does not respond as my kids gets stuck that way once in a while. Turn it off and pry it open with a butter knife from the front. No it does not require a jack hammer. And not much pressure, no not like the hulk. If it were mine and I was was "REAL" upset, I just go pick up a good louisville. the one size fits all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
