Title: disc stuck in disc drive of an old Compaq Presario 4814
Post by: Salochin62 on May 15, 2007, 06:18:49 PM

I have a disc stuck in the disc drive of an old Compaq Presario 4814. Anyone have any ideas of how to get this disc out of my disc drive?? - Please!!! I can't find any holes where the disc could be pushed on and it can't be reached with needle nosed pliers.

Is there a small hole in the front of the drive? If so a paper clip can be inseted to manually unlock the mechanism.
