Why won't my eject button work?

Just recently I went to put a CD in my disk drive on my 13 inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro and received no response. There's no noise and the computer makes no effort or anything to accept the disk the way it normally should. At first I suspected that maybe another disk had become jammed in the drive so I tried force ejecting (holding down the eject button while computer restarts) and even entered some terminal code which did get the drive to make the noise it normally does when it ejects a CD but nothing came out. I feel very confident that nothing is jammed in the drive, and I even reset the SMR or SRM something System Management something, and it all did nothing. Even my eject key no longer gives me the icon on the screen when it is pressed. I don't want to say it but are some parts of my computer actually broken or can I maybe still solve this problem myself?

Hello Auto Boa,
Holding your trackpad button (or clicking and holding the trackpad) while starting your MacBook Pro may eject the disc.
If the disc will still not eject, try holding down the trackpad or mouse button after restarting the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
If the disc still does not eject, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional assistance.

  • Why won't my lock button work?

    I went to lock my iPod and my lock button won't work. I can't even push it down, it's like stuck down in the hole but it won't pop back up. Everything works fine but I have to wait for it to auto-lock everytime I want to turn it off. Why won't the button pop back up?

    It looks like you have a hardware issue. I don't know why the button doesn't pop up, but You can enable assistive touch. Assistive touch gives you a virtual lock button, so that will solve you problem. You can enable it by going to Settings->General->Accessibillity->AssistiveTouch->On.

  • HT2729 Why won't my video button work?

    My photo button works fine, but when I press the video button, nothing happens.

    Try closing the Camera app completely and see if you can record video when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

     Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
    Launch Firefox and see if videos etc play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component.  When done, restart Internet Explorer.

  • Why won't the home button work

    I just dropped my iphone for the first time. It didn't have an otter box, just a thin plastic cover. It landed on it's screen but shows no screen damage whatsoever. Now I can't use the home button. I can listen to my music and play games just fine, but when it comes to getting back to the home screen with the home button it doesn't work. It makes the usual clicking sound, but nothing else. I got it to the home screen a couple of times by pushing the button with alot of force but I'm affraid that will damage it more. What should I do? Is it fixable? Do I have to take it to be repaired or can I fix it at home?

    Sounds like you broke your phone.  Bringt it and $149 to the Apple store for an out of warranty replacement.

  • Why won't my lock button work at times?? I press constantly and nothing happens

    it works now n then. but when I'm at work I stand there like a fool trying to lock it.

    Let it go tonefox, the name of the button doesn't matter.  We all (including you) know which one he's talking about.  Don't be such an ***.
    For me, it turns the phone off and on.
    It also locks the phone as per the manual you referenced.  Look it up, p. 8 if you're interested.

  • Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
    My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.
    Thank you

  • HT4972 Why won't Kindle or instagram work on my I-Touch? Why do either of them require IOS 4 or 5?

    Why won't Kindle or instagram Apps work on my I-Touch?
    Why do either of them require IOS 4 or 5 and why can't Itouch V2 update to IOS 4 or 5 operating systems?

    1. The developer stopped supporting older iOS versions.
    2. A second generation iPod touch can be updated to iOS 4.2.1 but doesn't have enough RAM to run iOS 4.3 or newer.
