Dvd port will not eject hp pro notebook 655 g1

I recently bought my hp pro notebook 655 g1 and the dvd port does not open, I don not know to open it since I press a button on the side and nothing happens. Help please

If you are certain that the button is being depressed, then the only recourse is to insert a straightened out paper clip in the tiny hole next to that button.  That should release the drawer mechanism mechanically.

  • DVD Drive Will Not Eject

    The DVD Drive will not open with the keyboard eject button. The only way to open it is restart it and then put in appleoption+OF then type "eject cd" then type "Mac-boot" but there must be a simpler way to do this with out rebooting it every time you want to open the drive bay. The key board is brand new. I am using a IOgear Miniview III KVM switch. It works when you plug the keyboard in directly into the mac it works fine. Is there a KVM switch driver that is compatible with the Powermac G5 and a PC.

    Open the Terminal application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and enter "drutil eject" without the quote marks. If you need to use this command often, it can be made into a double-clickable application. To do this, open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder, paste the following in:
    do shell script "drutil eject"
    and save it as an application.

  • DVD disk will not eject

    How can I eject a disk when it will not eject thru regular means?

    Welcome to discussions, frank.
    OK, here we go, in preferred order of things to try:
    1. With the machine powered down, power up holding the trackpad button.
    2. With the machine powered down, boot into open firmware by holding the cmd-opt-O-F key combination until you get the white OF terminal screen, then enter the following commands:
    eject cd <enter> // (wait a couple of seconds to see if it works)
    reset-all <enter>
    3. With the machine powered off, use a credit card as a pry tool and insert a corner into the opening slightly, at a point about one inch from the right edge of the opening and press down gently with the card to see if you can get the release lever to spring the disc.  Be very ginger about doing this.  The lever often looks like what you see in this picture of an out-of-machine optical.
    If those don't work, then you are stuck with removing the drive from the machine and working from there.
    Good luck!

  • My CD/DVD drive will not eject disc

    I have just recently purchased a new Macbook and I had the system for less then a few hours and there was already a problem with the system. The only thing that I have done to it is run the system updates and install the new Leopard OS. Upon completing the installation the disc would not eject from the drive. I have tried all the ways possible to eject it, but every time it makes three clicking noises as if it is trying to eject then the disc just reloads. I have even gone so far as to bring it in for service where they just shipped it to Apple to fix it. They claimed that the bottom of the case was bent and that Apple replaced it therefore fixing the problem. To my dismay when I brought the system back home the problem was still there. Apple wants me to ship it back to them, but I was hoping that there is some unseen solution to my problem, because I'm getting really feed up with this because I have owned this product for almost 3 weeks now and still have not been able to use it. So any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

  • Pioneer DVD-ROM will not eject after some time of system usage

    I'm having an odd issue where after my Mac Pro is used for a certain amount of time (it seems variable), the optical drive will no longer seemingly be recognized. It shows up in the hardware profile for the system, however when I hit the eject key, Toast starts up instead of my drive responding. Further, when Toast or any other CD / DVD writing utility is started after this occurs, the drive is not recognized in these applications.
    Any idea as to what could potentially be going on here?
    The thing that throws me the real curve ball is that it DOES work for a little while when the system is restarted and then just "disappears" as noted.

    If it's not the original Apple DVD drive, make sure "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" is not enabled in "Energy Saver" system preference, then reboot the system.

  • CD/DVD drive will not eject disk, it is obstructed, help!

    Hi,
    I formatted my G4 slot loading ibook today, I then went to eject the installation DVD, the drive makes the sounds as if it is ejecting however no disk appears, I took the whole laptop to pieces and looked at the drive, there appears to be a strip of metal that is on a hinge, this can be moved up and down, I think that it might be this that is causing the problem - the disk ejects so far, hits the bar and returns back into the computer. The disk is read by the computer and I am able to eject it so far as the ejection symbol appears and it sounds like it is trying to eject however it is unable to do so. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Ok I have fixed this myself, after searching for solutions all night and trying many different weird and wacky solutions I found one that worked therefore I thought I would share it to help with anyone else with a similar problem, basically I opened up the firmware window (start up holding - command, option, f, o,) then type "eject cd", the next bit is the most difficult bit whilst the computer is trying to eject rummage about on the left hand side of the cd drive with a credit card like object, (I used a small bit of thick cardboard. I slowed and stop the CD with the card whilst pushing it about after about 2 minutes of this it popped out, after this I used a blank CD to try it again, it got stuck, I repeated this process and it popped out again, after a couple more incidents of it getting stuck I have managed to get 54 ejections in a row without issue. I recommend this solution to anyone as a last resort.

  • Macbook pro 13" won't install OS X 10.4 after harddisk erased and dvd will not eject!

    After backing up the machine, I took what I thought was the correct installation disk and booted from the CD/DVD.  I erased the hard disk using the Disk Utility.  Then I tried to reboot to install the original operating system.  After several hours I received the message:  Cannot install Mac OS X on this machine.  The computer was running 10.4.3 before I erased it.  I don't understand why the restore to factory settings didn't work.  Now I have another problem.  The CD/DVD does not eject.  Without an operating system on the hard drive, it automatically boots from the CD/DVD and will not eject the boot disk!
    What do I do?  How do I get the CD/DVD out?  How do I find a good disk

    Hello, hold the mouse button down while booting up to eject it.
    The original Disc would be gray.

    Most users find that when the eliminate the third-party kernel extensions, they eliminate the kernel panics.
