Should have a tiny hole you can put a paper clip in...Straighten out a paper clip and insert into hole while pushing the eject button

There is a teeny hole on a front panel. Use a needle, paperclip or other object that can fit into the hole and gently push. That should open the door.Hope that helps

You can get the updates in the website of your computer's manufacturer. However, if you want to go for the easy way since you are not that computer literate, so it would be very recommended to go for the automatic PC driver updater called RadarSync. Google it.David

If the door on your CD/DVD drive will not open when you push the eject button (on the front of the drive), Click on Start, My Computer, and Right Click on your CD/DVD drive. Then Click on Eject. If the door still refuses to open, you can insert a paper clip into the small hole on the faceplate of the drive and push it in until the door opens. If the door continues to refuse to open in the normal manner, you will have to replace the drive,

Sounds like your cd/DVD drive is bad and needs to be replaced. Or try cleaning it with q-tips and alcohol.

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect your hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have secure dust free connections and are not faulty or just replace them they might be faulty

if its a 40 pin flat ribbon type it will be the first to fail

make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electical extensions

even something as small as an electrical fan and its lead can cause you problems

computers need all electrical power and data to continue through every working device and to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error

make sure your graphics card is securely seated with no dust built up or in the socket

if you remove your graphics check the socket to make sure its dust free

restart your computer then reinstall it this should activate found new hardware wizard

hope this helps you
