Hi @dogtec919,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To access the eject function for the DVD/video device on an HP Desktop PC, you have several options. Here are the common methods to eject a disc from your DVD drive.

Using the Eject Button

1. Locate the physical eject button on the DVD drive. It is usually a small button located on or near the DVD drive tray.
2. Press the eject button. The drive tray should open, allowing you to insert or remove a disc.

Using Windows Explorer

1. Open Windows Explorer (File Explorer) by pressing Windows + E.
2. Navigate to "This PC" or "My Computer". You will see a list of drives and devices connected to your computer.
3. Right-click on the DVD drive. It is usually labeled as "DVD RW Drive" or similar.
4. Select "Eject" from the context menu. The drive tray should open.

Using the Command Line

1. Open Command Prompt:
   • Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
   • Type cmd and press Enter.
2. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter.

powershell (New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application).Namespace(17).ParseName('D:').InvokeVerb('Eject')

Replace 😧 with the appropriate drive letter for your DVD drive if it is different.

 

Using Keyboard Shortcuts (if available)

1. Some HP Desktop PCs may have keyboard shortcuts for media control.
2. Look for an "eject" symbol (⏏) on one of the function keys (F1-F12).
3. If present, press the Fn key along with the corresponding function key to eject the disc.

Using HP Support Assistant

1. Open HP Support Assistant. If you do not have it installed, you can download it from the HP website.
2. Go to "My devices" and select your HP desktop.
3. Look for an option to manage hardware or troubleshoot the DVD drive.
4. Follow the instructions to eject the disc.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
