I'm sure there are a few lurking. Stormy is not far away too, just a few light years.

stockbunny,

Bunny, here we go no doubt lots of answers, but the drawer is probably damaged. Nothing much you can do in situ I think.
Answer. Remove CD from tower (power off and earthed) take to a friendly PC man for inspection. Probably will require new unit luckily they are now quite cheap. Or better still get friendly PC man to visit.

Bunny do you have a DVD drive, if you have it will do to drive CD's not sure if it will write on them though, have not tried that. Good luck and if you are not sure keep out of the tower.

OK how about I turn it off and turn it back on..I know that is stalling but
maybe..but will it drive itself nuts trying to close it if I do?

Try anything but force Bunny, even just talk to it :-))

I've managed to push it back in almost, only about 1/2 or so hanging
out now..oh well thanks guys much appreciated, I'll get the manual out
and check how easy/difficult it is to get the DVD bit out - would
prefer to take IT to a repair man then the whole thing and I can imagine
the arm and a leg they would charge to come out - so that's probably a
non-starter....Thanks again...what is it they say never work with kids...
bless him, he's looking awful sheepish.....

That on & off idea should be worth a try sb.

stockbunny, once you get the outer case off it is surprisingly easy to remove CD/DVD/etc.
Just some screws and the little jack plug thing stuck in the back of it.
You MUST switch off at the power point though.

Give him a screwdriver Bunny and let him have a go!! they are removed and replaced very easily. Once the tower case is off usually 2 screws and 2 leads, just pull/push connections. Unit slides out of the tower front.

Sorry about your problem Stockbunny, do you mean the cup-holder that comes out of the front from time to time?
Stormy
Thanks for the mail, always pleased to hear from a fellow gentleman. I will read the rules and get back to you.
