tech question - open broken CD drive?

[shugah]

does anyone know of a way to get the CD drive to open up if it won't work with the button? i used to have this cute little program that had something to do with coffee and holders, so i know there is a way to trigger it, but i'm damned if i can figure out what it is.

tahnks in advance!

1. right click on drive

in my comp, choose eject
or use paperclip if there's a hole

2. Hubby says

there is a paper clip size hole located somewhere on the front of the drive. Poke an open paper clip in there and it will open your drive.

He says it is called "The emergency disk ejector".

sometime i wonder why i bother with google when someone at DU always knows the answer!
