Why is my laptop’s disk drive not ejecting?

< 1 min read

  1. Check your laptop tray from the outside. Make sure nothing is blocking the ejection system.

  2. If the laptop tray has a manual ejection system, find the small hole on the disc drive and carefully insert a paper clip or small nail into the hole to manually eject the tray.

  3. If you’re still having trouble ejecting the disk drive, it is possible something is stuck to the disc drive. Turn off your laptop, unplug it, and carefully open the laptop and remove the laptop’s disc drive tray.

  4. Check the disc tray and the disc drive inside the laptop for anything blocking the disc tray from opening and closing properly.

  5. Once you’ve checked the disc drive and found nothing blocking it manually, try to use the same paper clip or small nail method from earlier to force the disc drive to eject.
