jlo Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 This is a very basic question but wondered if anyone had any ideas. My CD slidy thing on my computer (you can tell I am a techophobe laready can't you! ) won't open. It has been a bit temperamental for a while and I thought I had it solved by keeping a blank CD in there and then it would open. However, in an absent minded moment I have shut it without a CD in and it is just clunking at me and remaining stubbornly shut. Any clues as to what I could do (short of banging it!)

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Stick an unbent paperclip into the tiny hole at the front. That should open it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Its dead, you will need a new one. Dr Fred is right again. I tried a bit of a prising method but it is now well and truly crocked! Onto my PC man to see exactly what I need to get now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is useless, there is no drive, just a case to put one in. Have a look on eBuyer (www.ebuyer.co.uk) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
