2.) Information and how to avoid mechanical emergency ejection on DVD/CD drives!

If you have an optical drive (DVD/CD drive) and find yourself in a situation where the normal method of ejecting it (e.g. via the eject button or via software) does not work, there are some mechanical emergency measures you can take you can try:


1. Manual eject:

Many optical drives have a small emergency eject. This is usually a small hole next to the eject button. You can use a thin, straightened paper clip or similar tool to gently press into this hole. This triggers a mechanism that opens the drive even when it is turned off.

2. Restart system:

Sometimes a simple system restart can solve the problem, especially if the drive is blocked by a software error.

3. Hardware check:

Check that the drive is properly connected to the computer and that all cables are secure. If necessary, you can remove and reconnect the drive to ensure that it works correctly.

4. Emergency release with a tool:

If all else fails, you may be able to open the drive manually by carefully removing the drive's outer cover (this usually requires opening the computer case). However, you should be extremely careful and only attempt this if you are familiar with your computer's hardware and are aware that it may void the warranty.


Info:

It is important to note that opening the case or interfering with the computer's hardware involves risks and should therefore only be carried out by experienced users. If you are unsure or have concerns, it is best to seek professional help.
