Two answers. Right click on the Windows START button, choose Explore. Explorer will pop open showing you your hard drive, and CD ROM drive. Right click on your CD ROM drive, and choose Eject, the CD ROM tray should open. If that doesn't work, hopefully this might. Carefully look at the front of your CD ROM drive, you MIGHT see a little round hole. If so, take a paper clip and push it in, and this will cause the CD ROM tray to manually open.

Firstly try this: go to My Computer and RIGHT click on the CD Drive and select the Eject option. This may work even if the physical button on the CD drive is faulty.
Also, check that the power cables are securely fitted to the drive. You will need to open the PC for this. If they are, try using one of the spare power connectors you PC may have and see if that makes a difference. If there is a disc stuck in the drive, get a paper-clip and stick it in the small hole at the front of the CD Rom drive. This is an over-ride eject button.

Sounds like the power cable to the CD-Rom has come loose or is not working. Open the PC up, you'll probably find there are spare power supply plugs next to your cd-rom for further upgrades. Try one of these instead. It's a four pin female socket, that fits over the pins on the drive itself.

First of all click on my computer right click on your cd-rom drive and select eject this should do the trick.
If not you can open the draw by slidinga pin or open paper clip into the small hole on the front of your cd-rom.
Or click on start, control panel, system, hardware, and device manager. then click the box on cd/dvd-rom drives right click on your cd-rom drive and check that it is working properly .
As a last resort. check your cables from your dv-rom drive to the motherboard

No power is coming to the CD ROM drive or your CD ROM drive is defective. Change the power cable and see if it works. If it still does not work, then, take out the CD ROM drive from this PC and put it in another PC and see if it works. If it doesnot work, then your CD ROM drive is defective. Buy a new one. If the CD ROM drive works, then your power supply is defective. Change the power supply of your PC.

Problems reading and writing CDs are common. In many cases, the problem cn be solved by checking the PC with free software, hardware modifications and cleaning the CD drive. I found the information at http://fixit.in/cdrdrive.html useful.
