Disc drive won't let me put a disc in, nothing in there

Disc drive won't let me put a disc in, nothing in there

I can't put a disc in, there is something blocking me from putting one in, right at the front, and there isn't a disc in it - i have tried rebooting, restarting, ejecting (even though there isn't a disc in it), etc. It did this before, and fixed itself somehow, but it's not budging now. Feels mechanical, like some part of the eject mechanism is stuck on eject and not going back in???

Press and hold the mouse or trackpad button down when you power it on and keep holding it down. This forces a disk eject, or at least tells the mechanism to to go through its eject cycle. This may move the mechanism to it's fully open position for you.

There are sometines screws on the top of the unit that are to be taken out before installing. It's usually clearly marked to take them out but possibly the label was missing when the unit was installed

I find this is due to iTunes failing to unmount the disc or something, even after it successfully ejects it. Thereafter you need to reboot in order to insert a disc. My workaround: quit iTunes before ejecting a disc. then Eject via finder. The restart iTunes. Disc loads no problem.

I have a HP 'puter with a 'Tower' ,. One CD/DVD disk drawer would not open when button was pushed. Go to 'COMPUTER' and click on it and a selection of various drives will appear on your 'puter. EXP~~ A drive, B drive, C drive etc etc. Determine which drive icon will not slide out and RIGHT click on the icon. A box drops down . Select 'EJECT' and it should open with ease.
