With the paper clip fashioned this way, it allows me to have a good grip on it so I can open the CD drive. Just take the paper clip and put it into the hole of the CD or DVD drive as shown in the photo below:
The distance that you have to push in the paper clip often varies, and can be as much as an inch. Once the paper clip stops, give it a push. It will take a bit of force, but not too much. Also make sure that you are going straight into the hole with the paper clip because if you are off, you won’t be pressing in the right spot.
What will happen is the drawer of the CD / DVD drive will open just a little bit as shown in the photo below:
Then just grab the tray of the CD / DVD drive and pull it open. Then you will be able to take out the disk that was stuck in the CD / DVD drive. Then just push the tray of the CD / DVD drive closed and restart your computer. Most of the time when a CD or DVD is stuck in the drive it was really just a matter of what I previously mentioned. Not because the CD or DVD drive is defective.
