How to remove dvd drive

ur desktop needs to be open at all cost otherwise no solution

If the drive is trashed, just force the drawer open. If you don't want to do that, you should be able to disassemble the drive enough to get the disk out by removing screws... Sometimes the screws are underneath stickers, or warranty stickers, etc etc.

Remove the top cover.

There will be several screws holding the top on. Remove all and slip the top cover backward to remove.

This will expose the internal system. You will see the disk inside under the laser disk reader.]

You will see a gear the drives the sliding disk holder/loader. This is the part you see come out of the door onto which you place the ****. Roll the gear with your finger and the holder will move. Keep going and the disk will come out as normal. Remove the disk and try to plug the unit in and press the close button. The unit may close as per usual. If not rotate the gear again until the holder goes full back inside. Again try to plug in and press open. It may start working. If not is had problems.

Hope this helps

Check and make sure a disk is not stuck in the disk drive. If a disk is not stuck try closing the door and hold the door close, shut down the computer. Start the computer and hold the the door while the computer reboots. Hope this fixes it. [email protected]..

All you need is a good working DVD ROM and a 2.0 usb port.

Plug in your hard drive to the usb port.
It should install and be ready to use in a few minutes.
Insert your DVD's
Open My Computer and open your dvd disk (right click on the icon and choose open)
Open My Computer again but this time open your newly inserted hard drive (there will be an icon naming the drive)
Now, just use copy / paste from the dvd to the hard drive (you may have to create folders on the hdd to keep it organized)

Hope this helps.

There is a small hole on the face of the tray which is used to open the tray in this kind of situation. Use some needle and push into the hole. If the tray does not come out, you have to open the laptop and remove the tray.

Does your dvd drive opens other dvd's if it does, that means your dvd has gone bad but if your dvd drive fails to play any dvd's than it's a problem with your dvd drive.

Best way to test it would be to insert a new empty dvd and see if your dvd drive opens it.

CD drive is messed up. You should not have to open the case. I take a paper clip and stretch it out. Then insert it into the pinhole of the cd drive. You have to push kinda hard to get the drive to pop open.

Every drive I have ever seen has such a hole

Yes, there is a manual way to open it. On most DVD players there is a small hole underneath the door. Push a paperclip in there until the door pops open a little. Then, pull open the door and remove your disk.

Woah! You don't want to hear this but forcing a second disc into the drive has probably destroyed the drive read head. They are pretty tough and it might be able to survive but you will most certainly have to dismantle the drive to remove the DVD and not create any more damage. Kind of like scraping someone elses car in a parking lot. More damage is done when you try to back off of the other car than the initial hit. (not like that's ever happened to me :) )
