Hello there:
there is a very small hole located on the front of the drive just insert a paperclip in the hole until you feel it a solid object now just press in a little bit further and you will feel it trip the door mechanism and the tray will open it may not be all of the way but it will be far enough so you can get the cd rom out if this still does not work
You will have to remove the plastic strip above the keys and find the 2 or three very small screws and remove them and now the whole cd rom will slide out of the computer now if you want to just remove the cover off the cd rom and you would be able to get to your cd that is in the drive ok?
I hope that this helped you out a lot
best regards Michael

I do not have the username and password for my new Dell latitude 2120

There are 3 ways for you to reset Dell Latitude password. Let's specify them in 3 parts.

Part 1: Using a Password Reset Disk

When you create Windows user accounts for your Dell Latitude, you can also create a password reset disk at the same time with a USB flash drive or a floppy disk to reset forgotten password afterwards, which means you have to make this tool before you forgot Dell Latitude password. Meanwhile, this password reset disk can reset only local user account password. If you want to unlock dell latitude without password or disk, or your Dell Latitude is on a domain, please refer to Part 3.

Part 2: Reinstalling Windows System

If you have no password reset disk, Dell Latitude will suggest you to reinstall Windows system when you forgot password. However, the cost of reinstallation is huge because all your settings and data in C drive will be lost. If you don't want to lose resources on your Dell Latitude laptop, try the following method.

Part 3: Using Dell Latitude Password Reset (Reset Password without Disk)

If you want to unlock Dell Latitude (d620) without password or disk, Windows Password Recovery (Windows Password Recovery Tool) will be your best choice to access Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista/XP adminitrator in dell . It is specially designed to reset any local or domain account password without system reinstallation when you forgot password and can't log into Windows OS on Dell Latitude laptop. Here is the example of Dell Latitude admin (administrator) password reset. What you need is just a USB flash drive or a blank CD/DVD and an available computer.
Note: The steps to reset other user account password (no matter whether it is a local or a domain one) are the same.
  • Step 1: Download and install Dell Latitude Password Reset on the available computer.
  • Step 2: Insert a USB flash drive or a blank CD/DVD on the computer, specify the burning device, and click "Burn".
  • Step 3: Click "Yes" and "OK" button in the pop-up windows.
  • Step 4: Insert the newly created USB flash drive or CD/DVD on your Dell Latitude and reboot it. Select the Windows installation you want to reset the password, choose "Reset your password" and click "Next".
  • Step 5: Select the administrator account, choose "Remove the password" and click "Next". In the pop-up window, click "Reboot".

Now, we collect some ways to reset Dell Latitude password if forgot password again.

1. With created Dell Latitude password reset disk to recover lost Windows XP, 7, etc. password.
Though it maybe the most efficient way to help us in case we meet such password problem, most of us may not make sense of the importance of the disk for us PC users. The disk needs to be created before we forgot Dell Latitude password or once we set the account. If you did not have one, now look for Dell Password Reset Disk.

Step 2. At the login screen with computer user accounts, choose an available account to login. Please note that the Administrator account (default/built-in) password is blank if never set password for it before.
Step 3. In Safe Mode, Dos command displays. Input "net user" and press Enter to list all the user names in Windows XP computer. Then input "net user Linda 123456" (Linda is the locked account name and 123456 is the new password set on this account) and press Enter. Then we will see "The command completed successfully."
Step 4. Input "shutdown -r" and press Enter to restart the system, then we can access "Linda" account in normal logon mode.

3. Easy to recover lost Dell Latitude Windows password by DIY a password reset disk.
DIY password reset disk is just to say, burn an .iso image file into a bootable CD/DVD/USB Flash Drive for the lost account after forgotten Windows password. The .iso file can be mainly got from professional password recovery software. Take one of the most popular software - Windows Password Recovery Corporation as example:
Step 1. Download Windows Password Recovery Corporation and burn .iso file to a bootable CD/DVD/USB via an accessible PC.
Step 2. Boot the target computer from CD/DVD/USB.

MY DELL LATITUDE D510 LAPTOP CANNOT BE SWITCHED ON...WHEN I PRESS THE ON BUTTON, THE GREEN LED JUST STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS THEN WENT DEAD.

that sounds like a hardware fault. pull out the ram, hdd and dvd drive. Then clean the connetions and plug them back in one at a time, starting with the ram.
The computer will not load with the ram uninstalled, but when you reconnect it, it will make sure that it is plugged in correctly.

Dell latitude 600 doesnt find primary hard disk drive

Try to get a screwdriver and take of the small backpanel at the back of your laptop, take out and put back the hdd, if it's a contact problam that should do it.
If HDD is dead than use your warrenty or buy a new one at your local store, they'll even fit it for you sourely.
If the HDD is fine and the OS turns out to be dead than try to boot from OS install disk if you have any and see fi you can reinstall the OS, for that maybe you'll need to change the boot sequence in bios to boot from CD/DVD first.

Dell latitude c640

Hi

Both Dell Part numbers 18THT and 5W299 are 8X DVD-ROM Drive Modules. DPN 18THT is compatible with Latitude C series and DPN 5W299 is compatible with Latitude D series. The two drives have different and incompatible connectors.

Your Latitude C640 is a C Series Latitude. You can therefore not use DPN 5W299.

If you need a DVD drive module, get DPN 18THT or an alternative Latitude C series drive.
