Got to back to Dell for a**ffs.
If I want to back up my data I can't do it by disc now - do I just buy a memory card and go from there?

Coincidentally this has started happening with my Dell the last day or two also-perhaps it is more sinister than t'would appear?
restart the PC and as it reboots the light on the CDROM drive will flash twice. Press the eject button at this point.
Could be rock monkey I have an Inspiron 1700 and there is a button you press once and mines making the right noise but no eject......
Is there no pin sized hole next to the light? a straightened paper clip usually gets em out
no pin hole that i can see. what is this right click trick?
tried the right click trick still wont do it althought its trying. Just spoken to Dell and they tested it say it needs to go back in for a**which is the second time ina month - NOT IMPRESSED.
if you look at the front there will almost certainly be a tiny hole, u need to stick something in it hard(while computer is off) and it releases the tray
on the front of the cd/dvd drive
although u should only use it as an emergency, its not a cure..
have you tried going to my computer then right clicking on the cd drive and pressing eject?
