My CD won't come out of the drive

[tcmahoney]

So how do I get it out?

Thanks in advance.

stub a paperclip in the tiny hole of your cd drive. push it hard and that should do it

[StrikerCW]

If its a laptop, try pushing in on the drive, mine for some reason is permanently stuck on something and I have to give it a nudge for it to pop out.

did you try apologizing?

[Ringo]

but seriously, is it a mechanical problem with the drive or is your computer just not recognizing the drive is there? noahitmch has the right solution for most of the troubles ... for Macs I know there's a key you can hold down while you restart that will automatically eject. I'm not sure if something similiar exists on a PC (if that's what you're using).

good luck. :)

As explained above, a simple paper clip should do it.

When I first learned this technique I was stunned. Also, shortly after that found out that the little hole in all elevator doors is a simliar mechanism.


...I'm somewhat easily entertained

Electronic auto-flushers also have a flush button.

Ona lighter note, my college roomate got a porno DVD stuck in his parents DVD player while he was back on break...

He ended up having to use a pair of needlenose pliers to pry open the hatch and wrestle the DVD out, leaving him with a scratched DVD and broken flap on the machine.

Some years ago,a friend of mine found a box of VHS tapes with pornographic titles on a street in Tokyo a night before a garbage day.He took some back home and stuck one into his VHS player.And,you guessed it,it not only did not play but did not come out.He eventually took the player to a repair shop and was told that there was glue inside the casette and he was not the only fool in town:D

Try opening the nearest window and throwing the computer out. The go out and pick up all the mess and don't forget to get the cd.

You are very welcome! ;)

[what a goal!]

So how do I get it out?

Thanks in advance.Try turning the computer off and then re-booting it. Then try pressing the eject button where the cd is stuck inside it.

I did. Someone else elsewhere suggested what soccerharryroo suggested, and it worked like a charm.

I was up past when I should've been when I started this thread.

i'm very very frustrated that I couldn't be your help as a true microsoft professional but i highly believe that soccerharryroo is also a true microsoft expert, not one of those stupid fan boys we have here

sometimes if the external eject button does not work you can open up a program like a dvd player or a media player that has an eject button and click on that and the cd player will open
