My CD-ROM / DVD-ROM is stuck!

Your CD-ROM is stuck? You cannot remove the CD from inside?

The following instructions refer to the ejection of software blocked CD-ROMs and not physically blocked ones.

All optical units have an opening options in case they get stuck because of a software error. On the door of the CD-ROM you will see a small hole.

Well this is the escape hatch.

Take a pin or a clip and bend it like in the image bellow.

Now insert the pin in the hole and push on it. See the image bellow.

All optical units, desktop or laptop ones, have this opening system.
