Tray
A
thin plastic disc holder that allows a CD, DVD, Blu-ray or other disc to be
inserted into the computer. In the first picture to the right, is an example
of what the traditional CD-ROM tray looks like in a desktop computer.
To eject this tray from the CD-ROM drive press the eject button on the front
of the computer. To put the tray back into the computer just push the front
of the CD-ROM tray and it will automatically go back into the CD-ROM drive.
In the bottom image to the right, is an example of a laptop CD-ROM drive tray. Unlike the desktop CD-ROM tray, this tray can be a lot more flimsy because it's thinner and will also usually be missing the right portion of the tray. Like the desktop CD-ROM tray, press the eject button to eject the tray and then push the tray back in to insert the tray back into the computer.
Other types of CD-ROM
- CD-ROM, DVD, or other disc tray not opening.
- CD or other disc tray does not close or opens by itself.
