Loud pop, sparks and a puff of smoke. She's unresponsive. Is there any easy way to get my collector's edition The Mummy Returns out of the disc slot? Posted by AltEffigy4
Ok-Criticism1547 on April 20, 2026 2:48 am Disassembly is unfortunately required. You’ll have to take the disc drive out then open it up to get the disk. Given it’s dead you don’t need to worry about putting it back together.

Royal_J on April 20, 2026 2:52 am There’s a manual disc eject you can access with a paperclip. Look it up! You shouldnt need to disassemble the console

The puff of smoke came directly from the console, yes?
