YEAH ! I have the same problem too .. i just got my new acer E15 loptop then i also noticed that it has a cd player beside.. but i dont know how to open it.. ive searched in youtube and google for some solutions but none of them worked .. now i asked my aunt who give the loptop to me .. and she said that there is no cd player or cd drive in my loptop .. she said that thats just a kind of a cover or something .. but im not convinced .. cause it really looks like a cd player
