xps one how to manually eject stuck cd
I have a cd that will not eject from my xps one dvd drive bay. How can I manually eject it? I can not find the typical eject hole in my XPS One. Help!

I'm not that familiar with the XPS one since it only came out in the UK about a week ago to my knowledge but heres a few ideas:
a.) go to your my computer (or wherever you normally access your CD drive), right click on the drive icon and select eject.
b.) if that doesnt work then the CD may be physically jammed into the drive. You may need to disassemble the exterior to find the hardware eject button.

Toronto699 - there is NO "eject" hole on a slot load drive.
Angel - have a look at this search - most of the articles refer to Macs but the procedure would probably be the same.

If a disc seems stuck in the drive and does not want to eject when you press the eject button, no mechanical ejection mechanism like an eject hole on other drives is available. Try these steps to remove the disc:
Eject the disc using software such as Windows® Explorer.
Turn off the system and retry on boot to eject the disc.
Try ejecting the disc while in System Setup.

There should be a small hole near the disc drive. Just insert a paper clip into the hole and push.

Hi tboyd66,
Please stick to one thread. I've requested additional information in response to your first message. Let's continue with the conversation there.
Thanks.

What is the complete model of your DVD drive? I can't find any official site for XPS. As far as I know, there should be like a manual eject hole but based on the conversation, there appears to be nothing.
Last option here would be to dismantle to DVD drive, might need a tech to do this. The complete model number of this device too so we could look for any documentation online. http://imagicon.info/cat/12-4/vbulletin-smile.gif

This is the laptop I have: www.dell.com/.../pd
It's ultra thin. There is no tray for the dvd drive. It's just a narrow slot.
thanks!

On my XPS 9100 desktop, it's hard to find the hardware eject button, so I use the Start menu ...Computer...right-click on DVD drive, click Eject.
I also have to open it that way too. Very long way around. I know, I should make short cuts on the desktop, but I'm lazy.
