Just trying to insert a cd in my laptop, the drive does not work and makes strange noises when pressing the button.
CD defective… There's a small hole in the drawer. Because with a paper clip or needle piercing! Is the manual ejection!
But you can also try a "right click" on the drive. Click "Eject", then the drawer pops out.
But would not it rather the drive on the laptop broken? Is no cd in there
I think rather that something has "hooked"… Open, blow through and then it should go again.
Jerk a little bit around the drawer while it makes the "weird sounds". Maybe it jams easily and the jolt releases the blockage.
But do not use brute force.
Remove, buy new. 5 euro. Finished.
As CD burner 7 euro… As DVD burner 10 euro.
What do you want to annoy?
