dvd eject not working

This thread is about the Sony DRU-840A. Click here to see full specs

Hello,

I have a Sony Vaio desktop RA810G. When I press the dvd drive's eject button on the front panel of the cpu, it makes a clicking sound as if it is trying to eject, but the drive door never opens.

After trying various troubleshooting ideas, I reverted to the tried and true method of banging on top of the cpu after pressing the eject button and it works, the drive ejects.

However, I got tired of using this method and bought a new dvd drive thinking the problem was with my old drive. Now I have the same problem with the new drive as well, it won't eject if I press the button or if I right click the dvd icon and press eject that way. It simply keeps making the clicking sound as if it is trying to eject, but won't.

Any suggestions?

Re: dvd eject not working

Hi and Welcome,

since the new drive does the same, I guess, it is the drive cover of your computer case that blocks the tray from ejecting.
