use the emergency caddy release ....

if there is a little hole under the caddy ... take a 5 cm long needle and release the caddy manually.

use a clip, extend the clip and input it in that hole.. the "door" should open naturally.. as in manually

Are you sure that thing still works? Doesnt sound like it if it doesnt open..

(Maybe check the cables)

I just want to comment on the quality of todays hardware.

Hardware prices are at a all time low ('cept video cards and latest cpus)

My laptop DVDRW first stopped burning and now it wont even read a disc anymore.

Few weeks ago

I bought a decent external DVDRW and it last for 2 weeks and 15 dvd's burned.I got a replacement but I am worried (will it last a month?)

Prolly will die a day or two off of warranty.I paid 100$ (minus some coupons and it prolly cost them 10-15$ to make.Why can't they spend 20$ to make a real nice one that will last.

I bought DVDROM's when they first came out,they are all dead and only had to read cd's and dvd's

Back in the day, I'd buy a cd burner and burn 1000's of cd's (I still have some old cd burners)

I have a pile of dead hard drives (some maybe still under warranty but I don't bother (no receipt etc...)

I know the higher drive speeds and such is part to blame.

I have a dead 6600gt which isn't very old compared to the tnt2ultra I had to install to get the computer to work again (10 years old?) I have had to replace the fans on the tnt2 a few times even

Bring back reliability !!!!

my dad had a spare region 1 dvd and im from the UK, does that matter because it still isnt workin...i dont want to buy a dvd drive, just to get the same message

You can change the region 3 times (can flash the bios and have it region free)

so no it doesn't matter
