Portege R700-1E8: DVD drive does not eject the tray
Posted: 09-Aug-2012 04:18

Hi,
My DVD does not open the tray.
When I hit eject I hear it attempting to open and after a couple of seconds the lights go on but the tray does not open.

Is there a fix for this. I unplugged my PC and tried the eject with just power on my PC and it works fine, able to open and close it using the button. I know it is software related but I don't know how to fix it.

Any ideas?

Many thanks, Iris

PauPau

Is there a fix for this.

There should be a small, tiny hole near the eject button.
You can open the tray manually inserting an thin object like staple or clip in this hole.
The tray should eject and you should be able to insert a disk

PS: In my opinion its NOT software issue since the ODD tray isn't controlled by any software
