In my CD drive one CD is broken inside and it is not coming out. CD drive is not opened. What do i want to do next?

Normally you’d eject a CD through using a straightened paperclip and pushing it into the tiny hole at the front of the CD drive.

While you should try this, it’s highly likely a broken CD has damaged the device as well.  So in this case, we’d suggest replacing the entire unit.

If it’s a desktop computer, then it’s a simple matter of swapping the old one out. For a laptop, you’ll need to contact the manufacturer and its very likely you’ll find the repair is expensive if you can do it all. In that case, you may want to consider an external drive.
