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>
