Follow these steps to remove a stuck CD/DVD from your laptop’s drive:
- Turn off your laptop before attempting to remove the CD/DVD. This will ensure that the CD/DVD drive can cool down and the drive won’t suffer any potential damages from the friction it takes to remove the disc.
- Use a pair of tweezers to gently tug the CD/DVD out of the drive. The tweezers must grab the CD’s disc surface. Avoid holding the tweezers around the edges, as doing so will damage the plastic coating.
- Try using a disc cleaning kit. If the first two methods did not work, then use a specialized disc cleaning kit that can help unstick the CD/DVD from drive.
- Contact the manufacturer and get professional help if you weren’t able to remove the disc. The manufacturer may have specialized tools or replacement parts of the drive that would better help you in this situation.
