CD Drive not ejecting

[zwanhinder]

My CD Drive on my tower will not eject when I press the the eject button on the drive. Now if I go into My Computer and right-click the drive and select the eject option it ejects. What do I do to fix the button on the front of my drive? Thanks in advance for all replies.

I would agree...
to fix it you'll probablly have to buy a new part and resodder it, if you can.


If not.. but put the 10 bucks and get a new one

if you can still open in with windows, id live with it, but if you ever need to boot to it for any reason your scrood. in that cas eid say get a new on, some one said they are only $10 or so, you can get a burner for $30 in alot of places, maybe time for an upgrade

check to make sure before you even get into windows, like when your computer just starts up, to see if you can open it. If not, it would sound like you have a problem with the button itself, and since that would require you to at least open up and void the warranty of the drive(if it still has one), it would be easier to just get a new one.
