I have a lite-on dvd rom. It is SOHW-1633s. I am running windows xp pro. When you press eject it tries to open but fails. Then it will load in explorer and show the info that is on the cd in the drawer.
Thank you in advance........Morgan

The emergency opener is a pinhole on the front of the drive....straighten out a paper clip and insert it into the hole with slight pressure.

Thank you for the reply..........but it did not work

I Don't know what you've done or not done yet so try this. Go into My Computer, Click on the drive, right click, then scroll down to eject or is that what you've been doing this whole time?

Are you saying there is a cd in the drive and you can't open it? If thats the case Then you'll have to do what patio said. Look for a small hole below the tray, and put a paper clip in there and manually open it. IF that doesnt work im sure there are plenty of Tutorials on how to open your drive manually on Google.

So Was there a disc actaully jammed in there? Or was it just not opening?
