Hi @AL4645,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

To open the CD/DVD drive door on an HP Slim Desktop computer, you can try the following methods.

Using the Eject Button:

1. Locate the Eject Button: Find the eject button on the front of the CD/DVD drive. It is usually a small button located near the drive tray.
2. Press the Eject Button: Press the button firmly to open the CD/DVD drive door.

Using the Keyboard:

1. Open File Explorer: Press Win + E to open File Explorer.
2. Locate the CD/DVD Drive: In the left pane, find and right-click on the CD/DVD drive icon.
3. Select Eject: From the context menu, select the "Eject" option. This should open the drive door.

Using Software:

1. Open This PC: Open File Explorer and go to "This PC" or "My Computer."
2. Right-Click on the Drive: Find your CD/DVD drive, right-click on it, and select "Eject."

Manual Eject:

If the above methods do not work, you can manually open the drive:

1. Turn Off the Computer: Ensure the computer is turned off.
2. Locate the Manual Eject Hole: Find the small manual eject hole on the front of the CD/DVD drive. It is usually a tiny pinhole.
3. Insert a Paperclip: Straighten a paperclip and gently insert it into the hole until you feel resistance. Push gently until the drive door pops open.

If these methods do not work, there might be a hardware issue with the CD/DVD drive.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
