  Didn't load a CD properly in my CD ROM drive... Now the drive door cannot be opened. It will only light up give off some whirling sound whenever I tried to open the CD rack. Can anyone help?

  You can also try to press the eject button repeatedly until it ejects the disc.

  If that fails, try to force open with a screwdriver.

  The cd rom is most probably busy running the cd.

  • go to my computer
  • and click on your cd rom drive.
  • Try to see if your programme can install/ run.

  Now do this

  • RIght click on your cd rom drive
  • Click on eject.

  If still cannot

  • restart computer.
  • when it just switch on, immediately press open button.

  If worse come to worse:

  • Use a ruler or smth thin and squeeze throught the small spaces to act as a hinge to open it.  
  • open your cpu, disconnect your cd rom drive. open the screws. to retrive your disc. (i tried this method b4 when my disc crack in the drive. I slowly retrived the pieces. It still worked in the end!)

  Right click My Computer and select Eject. Doesn't work, take a pin and poke.

  If not, force open.

  Otherwise, you can dismantle the whole thing and take out the CD.
