Windows Tips and Tricks

How to open your CD or DVD optical drive when the power is off?

• Unfold the paperclip until there is at least 2 to 5 cm that is perfectly straight.
• Look closely at your CD or DVD drive. Directly under or above the drive bay door (the part that "ejects" the CD or DVD) there should be a very small pinhole.
• Insert the paperclip into the pinhole. Directly behind the pinhole is small gear that when rotated will manually open the drive.  
• Slowly pull on the drive bay until it's fully retracted. Take care not to continue to pull when you feel resistance.
• Remove the CD or DVD from the drive.
• Slowly push the drive bay back into the drive until closed or press the open/close button if the drive is still working.
