I have a disc in my Dell Studio laptop which I cannot eject. There is a light above and to the right of the F12 key which is supposed to eject it but it is not working. Any suggestions?

Open my computer, right click the disc drive and press eject. You could also phone dell they will fix it if its still under warranty. Had mine fixed 2 times so far, graphics card still randomly lockups making the screen go black.0

Go into My Computer, right click on the CD icon and you should find an option to eject - click on that.
Good luck0 -
Get a paperclip, unfold it and poke it in the small hole in the CD drive.....0

There is usually a manual release, a small hole you stick a paperclip in. should need a firm poke but nothing excessive.0
