Broken CD/DVD drive

[ttrainor]

My HP Laptop was dropped . Now the cd/DVD drive won't open. I tried the paper clip in the hole, tried to gently pull it open but no luck. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance. TT

From your description there really is no way of telling what the problem is.
Take it out of the laptop and look it over. Any obvious damage?

You got good advice from your prior topic, same subject.

Besides looking at the drive for damage - don't forget to look at where the drive connects in case there is damage there as well.
