If you look closely at the front of your CD/DVD drive, you should see a small hole.
If you gently insert a paper clip into the hole, you can release the drive tray.

Take a look at the following article:

    For any other problem of CD/DVD:

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry settings for your
    CD/DVD drive someone with the same model.

    Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
    nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

  • Ejecting the disc will not

    What can I do to eject a CD that will not eject?

    Hello franiebabe,

    ·         What happens when you try to eject the disk by pressing the button of the computer?

    ·         You try to eject the disk by right-clicking on the drive and click on eject?

    If you are unable to eject the disc using the button, you can try to reset your CD/DVD drive.

    Under the eject button, you will find a small hole. Try to stick a needle in the hole. This reset your CD drive and eject it.

    If you still have questions to eject the disc, I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your computer as the hardware may be defective.

    Thank you

    Hi Authorsz18,

    You are able to hear the music in the preview?

    Try to adjust the volume of an audio clip in the audio / music. And add music from the disc hard if you added songs to a DVD.
    1. right click on the audio clip > volume
    2 adjust the volume with the cursor.

  • DVD WILL NOT EJECT

    If you look at the drive itself, it should be a small hole that you can use a paper clip to manually eject the CD. Have you tried to manually power down/up the PC to see if it makes a difference?

    I hope this helps.

  • Qosmio F750 - 12 p / BD - RW Pioneer BDR-TD04A - Bluray discs will not play

    Qosmio F750 - 12 p
    BD - RW Pioneer BDR-TD04A
    Windows 7 Home Premium

    Problem: Bluray discs will not play. CD will play.

    History: I did a clean install of Windows 7 and then installed 60 all the drivers from the support site for this laptop model. Or at least those that would install. Interestingly, the driver of Toshiba Bluray would not install. the installation process stated "player not found on your system" or something like that.

    What works the device currently is a 2006 (?) Microsoft driver.

    Clues? It's the second Toshiba laptop, I had to (second-hand), and they both had this problem: DVD players do not play DVD right from the start. Very annoying.

    Update:

    The "Bluray driver" mentioned above is just the own DVD from Toshiba software. It is not a driver. And it does not find the optical drive Bluray on my laptop!

    - The Bluray optical drive will play DVDs, but not of Bluray discs. I'll borrow an another DVD Bluray at the local library, to ensure that it is not a disk failure.

    -The Wifi does not work ("network controller driver is bad / missing")

    - I probably deleted the hidden partition that contains the Toshiba "system recovery disk". I have re-installed Windows and written too. [You are supposed to press "0" when the power, but it does not show the Toshiba Recovery console. I scoured the hidden with a freeware Windows partition and there is nothing usable here.]

    It is a stupid economy, not providing a system restore disk AND do not provide drivers download work. (The drivers offered on the site are simply updated). It makes the laptop value much less long term and creates bad word-of-mouth over time.

    The only station I have is to buy a Blu - Ray external drive and perhaps a Wifi dongle. Crazy.
