How do I re-align a CD tray? It opens and closes, but won't allow the disc to spin up.?

I'm sorry, but there is no such thing as CD-tray alignment calibration.  It's either on the gears....or it's not.\n\nIf pushing the open/close button on the drive works normally, then there is nothing to be done.  If the CD remains in the same position upon ejection as when you put it in say 4 attempts....then the Stepper-Motor is bad....buy a new one, they're not worth fixing....

Take a paper clip, straighten it out. There should be a lil hole on the drive. Poke it in there slowly and push. The drive should come out a bit. Gently pull it open.

If this CD -Rom drive is removable try removing it.  Check the pins on the back of the drive to make sure non of them have been bent also check the receptacle that the pins connect to inside the drive bay for dust or dirt that may have gotten in there.  You could use some canned air (with laptop unplug ed and battery removed.  Also if you have a floppy disk that fits in the same CD-Rom bay if you put that in then you know that the problem must be with the CD-Rom.  How Old is this Laptop? If its new and under warranty don't mess with it at all just take it and get if fixed. If its used take it back to the place where you bought it they might be able to troubleshoot the problem better as they may have parts that can be swapped for testing.  Good Luck.  Oh By the way does the operating system even see the drive anymore?

Reformat the hard disk again. I think it should solve your problem.

usually theres a pin hole in front of the drive.  push a paperclip or similar sized object in and it should pop it open enough to pull it out and get the cd

Is it a floppy disk or a CD-ROM disk?\n\nIf it's a floppy, it's usually because the sliding cover bent outward. Try using something thin on the top and bottom of the disk (like the metal card slot covers) to compress the sliding cover back towards the floppy, pulling outward as you do it.\n\nIf it's a CD-ROM disk, just get yourself a paper clip, straighted it out and stick it in the tiny hole on the front of the drive. The drive bay will slide open a bit. Just pull it out the rest of the way.

Call the people you brought the computer from and have them fix it. They should have given you the CDs.

maybe it's haunted......no that's not it. check the ribbon cable and make sure it didn't come loose if that doesn't help, try getting a can of compressed air and with the tray open blow the air into the cd rom. if that doesn't help, you may have to replace it.

If you mean the actual desktop display was rotated 90 degrees, try this: Click and hold down the Ctrl + Alt keys at the same time and then click your up arrow key.  The desktop display should return to normal.  Up arrow (while holding Ctrl + Alt) = normal display; down arrow = image upside down; right arrow = top of desktop display facing to the right; left arrow = top of desktop display facing to the left.\n\nplrr

Probably the button is broken :)\nJust so you know there is usually a manual open button that looks like a little pinhole on the cd-drive. \nThis probably isn't a software issue because if it was, no software would be able to open the CD-drive either. Nearly 99% chance of a hardware problem.

re install the driver on the cd/floppy disk that came with the sound card

I assume you mean your CD drive?  If so, it is supposed to do that. The initial eject just opens the tray enough for you to grab the tray and open it the rest.  It doesn't have a motor in it like a desktop does.  It's pretty much just spring loaded. \n\nIf it's a floppy disk drive (people still use those?) then it'll only pop out an inch or so as well.  It's spring loaded like the cd tray.\n\nIf you need any more help, post more info and I'll help however I can.

Press the eject button to see if the tray opens - if it does, at least u know that the power cable is connected. if it doesnot open - \n\nu may need to open up the hood and see if both the dvd drives are properly connected. And if there are connected, check if the ribbon cables and power cable are tightly connected. Most like it would be connected as MAster & SLave to the Secondary IDE with a ribbon cabble.\nNext, u need to go into the CMOS setting (Press Del for Setup) to see if both the Secondary IDE devices are enable. it may be that one has been disabled). If it is disabled, u need to enable it - press Enter and use the up/down arrow to select - Press F10 to save and exit.\n\nIf your computer can detect it sometimes - it is an indication that it is failing.

You may be missing some obscure components. Leave the disk in the CD tray for a while and, maybe, it will install itself.\n\nI know, not terribly tech-y, but it has happened to me and this fixed it.

If it does not open, it sounds like there's a problem with yoru drive. Did you try to restart your computer?\n\nIf it won't erase, you'll have to try to format it. Can also depend on what 3rd party program you are trying to erase/format with.\n\nIf none of that works, just take the CD and toss it in the garbage.

Open the CD Drive drawer.  if you do not see an indent, where the small CD will fit, then you can figure that your CD drive won't read it.   There also isn't anything that will hold the CD in place.   \n\nUse a straightened out paper clip and insert it in the tiny hole in the front.  Push straight and the drive will come open.\n\nGood luck
