Laptop Help????
 
Help! I was looking at some discs with Costa Rica pictures on them, hoping to put some on here. The first disc I put in my laptop and it would never bring up the pictures, so I thought I'd take it out and try it on my regular computer (this one). The little disc drawer makes a sound like it's going to come out, but it doesn't move, so my CD is stuck in there. Is there anything I can do?????

Good one!:ursofunny

Seriously, you could take it to someone who is Computer savvy & have them try to take it apart carefully.

Sherri, there is a tiny hole in the CD drawer that a paper clip will go into perfectly. That is to be used if the CD won't come out. Push the paper clip into the tiny hole and the drawer will open. Voila!!!!! :D I've done this many times. It doesn't hurt anything. It is what it was designed for.

IF it does not, try shutting down completely then restarting. It should have the hole though.Push straight in. It hits an object then you push it a little and the door opens. It may not come out all the way so you have to pull the CD door with the fingers

BTW your drivers may be messed up or a Windows bug because it did not know what program to use to open the pics or something

No I was afraid to. I just used my desktop computer instead.

How old is the LT? Do you check for windows updates? Might be a driver issue
