If your optical drive tray is stuck halfway out and you cannot push it back in, here are a few things you can try:
1. Restart your computer: Sometimes a simple restart can solve the problem.
2. Check for locking software: Make sure there is no software on your computer that is preventing the tray from being opened.
3. Eject through the computer: Open the Computer folder, right-click the icon for the CD or DVD drive that is stuck, and then click Eject.
4. Use the manual tray release: Look for a small hole below the drive tray. This is the manual tray release. Take a pin or a straightened-out paper clip and insert it into the hole while pressing the tray's open or eject button 1.
If none of these methods work, you may need to seek assistance from a technician to manually open the tray and determine what is causing it to be stuck.
