well i was installing a legit copy of gta:episodes of liberty city. i put in the second dvd disc in (have yet to ever have a problem with this dvd drive in the past) and it installed the rest of the way. then a little window pops up asking for the 1st dvd again, and the eject touch button doesnt respond no matter how i press it.
i go to my computer and do it manually (right clicking the dvd drive icon- eject) and it error screens. it seems to think that there isnt a dvd in there despite the quiet clunks i hear every so often. already tried restart once but no change to the problem, and i was pressing eject the whole shutdown and startup. i hate the idea of waiting on a technician any advice to get it out without destroying the disc?
my m17x is about 5 months old. the dvd drive is the basic model can dredge up the proper model if you need it badly. can burn and rip normal dvds at max speeds.
