215 If Something Goes Wrong Resolving a hardware conflict To remove a disc without turning on the computer, use a narrow object, such as a straightened paper clip, to press the manual eject button. This button is in the small hole next to the disc eject button on the right side of the computer. Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can break off inside the computer and damage it. Some discs run correctly, but others do not. If the problem is with an application CD-ROM, refer to the software's documentation and check that the hardware configuration meets the program's needs. The color of the materials used to make the disc can affect its reliability. Silver-colored CD-ROMs are the most reliable, followed by gold-colored CD-ROM. Green-colored CDROMs are the least reliable.
