I put a disk in the drive and closed it. The disk has found its way into the works and the tray remains open and empty!
Any ideas as to how I can remove the tray in order that I can recover the disk?
Thank you.

Panic over. Disk out and so is the tray. Looks like another pc for Africa!
The important thing is you don't tell us what model you have because they are all exactly the same.
Seriously -- google your model for manual and maybe look on youtube or (as it's Christmas) take it to your local pc repair shop for 5 minutes.
Also seriously -- if it is a desktop -- there are probably screws at the back you can take out (don't lose them) to slide the side panels off and retrieve the dvd. If it is a laptop, then it is probably too fiddly for you but I'd be surprised if there is enough room in a laptop to lose a disk in the first place.

You can buy a replacement drive for 3-4 quid from C.E.X

You don't even need a drive if you don't use it much, you can pick up a usb external for really cheap these days.
I think that is a good idea. It is a shame that the tray is half in and half out but never mind worse things happen at sea.
you just replace the drive - no need to junk pc. five minute job. unless its a laptop.
