Optical drive problems
Problem:
The disc tray of the optical disc drive does not come out at once when you
press the eject button.
Solution:
The empty disc tray may not come out as quickly as you expect, but the
delay is normal. When no disc is in the optical drive, the drive is
automatically turned off to save energy. Then, when you press the eject
button, it takes a little while to turn on the optical drive and pull out the
disc tray. If you need to pull out the tray immediately, press the eject button
again.

fingerprint.
To improve the situation, try the following:
