4. Push gently but firmly until the disc tray door is released, then carefully pull the
tray open.
WARNING! Do not force the tray open; wait until the paper clip has dislodged it to be sure
you don’t break the tray’s front.
5. Remove the CD disc, turn on your computer, and press the Open/Close button
of your CD-R/RW Drive to see if it is working properly.
NOTE: If ejecting the tray using a paper clip does not work, your CD-R/RWDrive may be
damaged. Contact your dealer for further assistance.
Emergency Eject
In case of power failure or if the tray of your CD-R/RW Drive won’t open using the
Open/Close button or your software, you may have to manually eject the tray.
NOTE: Use the manual method only when necessary or as a last resort. Do not use this
method in lieu of the Open/Close button when, for example, you forgot to eject the tray while
the computer is on. Turn your computer back on to eject the tray, if possible.
To manually eject the tray:
1. Turn off your computer.
WARNING! If you don’t turn off your computer before you attempt to eject the tray using the
steps below, you may damage your CD-R/RW Drive.
2. Locate the Emergency Eject hole of your CD-R/RW Drive. See ASUS CD-R/
RW Drive Parts for the location or see illustration below.
3. Insert the end of a large straightened paper clip about 3 cm (1.25 inches) into the
Emergency Eject hole.
