DVD writer will not open
« on: May 13, 2005, 10:04:02 AM »
Hey, I was wondering if anyone has had this problem or knows how to get it fixed. When I press eject for my DVD writer, the door does not open. I can hear it try to open it and then the drive reads whatever is inside, which is nothing. Can anyone help!?

    Mike W. There should be a small hole just below the door on the drive........straight oout a paperclip and carefully insert in into the hole ....then you should be able to manual open the drive .

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.

    It's also possible that the face plate is blocking the drive from opening.  Try removing it to see if the drive will open that way.
