Pansonic Cf71 Tough Book

This is going to sound stupid as hell, but here goes. Got the computer
from EBAY auction. I am trying to load a NetZero boot disc, but I can't
figure out how to open the cd drawer. There is a large black button
on the cornor next to were the drawer is located that suspect is what
releases the drawer, but when I push it nothing happens. Not having
any instructions, I am at a loss as to how to open the drawer. HELP?
Thanks

Try going to my computer and right click on the cd drive. From here, left click on eject.
Not sure why the eject button does not work. Maybe someone with this type of laptop will know.

happens every once in awhile on my Gateway laptop. I have to stick a paper clip in the hole to get to open...

Some compressed air might be in order, but if you get disgusted with that thing, just mail it to me.

The paperclip idea is what I would try.
