How do I open the disk drive for Aspire E1-522? New, no CD inside, no button outside.

I just bought the laptop and tried to open the disk drive but gently pushing in the drive does not work. Please help!!

You may be able to have it open by itself. If you're able to, boot up to

the desktop page. Click on "Computer" in start menu > RIGHT CLICK

DVD DRIVE. CLICK "EJECT". If all worked right, the optical door should

pop open !

If you are running Windows 7 it's easy to get to DVD via "COMPUTER"

in the start menu. If running Windows 8, move over to the right side

of the screen, click search, and type in DVD. It should show up and

then you can right click to "eject"

To open it manually stick a paper clip into the hole right next to the eject button. There will be a little resistance because this is a manual release to open it.

no manual release button looked for weeks!

The Eject on the disktop was grey and did not repond to the mouse

Now on the E1-531 there IS a DVD writer, but not on the 522 from what I can tell from

the data sheets. Below is for the 531.

I could have sworn the display had an open drive...but maybe they sold me the wrong version.. Looked up your link and it seems I have the wrong one Got so pulled in by the storage I didnt think to look up this one fact.. Thanks forthe help! I need a disk drive and this one wont do. Still have time to return it and exchange. THANK YOU!!

Its too bad the model you bought doesn't have the features you wanted but the

good news is that you have time to return it for the model you need.

Glad I was able to a bit, and you're most welcome !

Is it possible to get a disk drive installed on this model?

n2gc · ‎09-19-2013

I for one don't know if one could be installed INSIDE the unit as the motherboard may not

have a serial connection built into it to accept the optical drives connection, nor there may

not be room inside for the drive....but....you DO have an option and that would be an external

slim line CD-DVD burner connected via USB 2.0. Here is one that may meet your needs.
