I am aware that this is a common question, but the CD eject button on my keyboard does not function.
I am aware I am supposed to hold it down for it to work, I can hold it till the cows come home and it does not work.
I have also read you can do things such as Option + F12, or Option + ESC, or other combinations to open the CD drive. Nothing works.
I am running Mac OS X 10.6.4 on a Quad-Core Xeon desktop.
If I go into the Hardware Profiler, I can see a disk burning utility:
"HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N:
Firmware Revision: PQ05
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh
"
Note that I do not get an eject icon popping up on the desktop when I hit eject. Neither can I find any desktop icon that represents the DVD drive.
Has anyone had issues with this? Perhaps the drive has failed?
