I bought this computer from a friend, and have been told that it was upgraded by a local computer shop. When powered on, the eject button does not illuminate; not sure if this is an indication of the root issue. When pressed, there is (even when powered off) a soft clicking sound, but no other noise of an ejection mechanism working. I can pull the cover down to see the face of the actual drive, but there is no visible hole for manually ejecting the drive. I have opened the case, and tried to pull the drive out, but have so far been unsuccessful. Please see attached photos for reference. Thanks for fighting for our right to do things for ourselves!
