I Bumped My Cd Tray, Can It Be Fixed?

This is what I mean:

This little pinhole allows you to loosen up the tray mechanism so that you can open/close the tray manually.

Just remember to turn off your computer before doing anything.

paper clip worth a try, for gods sake don't just jank it! odds are u've knocked it off it's tracks. If u have take the whole cd out strip it down and reseat the trays teeth on the cog, its a bit trial and error getting the right position so it fully closes without flying open straight away but it's usually possible
