CD stuck in disk drive....
Hi,
A CD has gotten stuck in my Dell Studio 1735's disk drive.
I've tried:
1.RIght clicking the drive in My Computer and clicking Eject
2.Pressing Fn + F10
3.Using the touchpad eject button.
4.Updating my BIOS to A05
5.Ejecting it from the iTunes interface.
When I attempt to eject the CD, the drive makes a noise but the CD just doesn't come out.
Can anyone please help?

The side slot in Dell Studio laptops is not very forgiving! A slightly warped disk may hang up on attempts to eject.. A definite symptom is if the disk does eject after numerous attempts (alignment of the warp matches requirements to exit through the slot). Lay the disk on a flat surface ... if you can detect a slight wobble when you press down on an edge, the disk is warped and may cause problems.

This was a normal size disk correct? you may need to remove the drive and see if there is a small hole in the front of the drive to operate the manual eject. Drive removal instructions are HERE<ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed / replaced from this post by Dell>
