This is going to sound like a silly post, but I've done a lot of searching and tried a bunch of solutions. Hopefully, someone here has an easy answer.
Almost every time I touch my laptop, I accidentally hit the DVD eject button on the side of the machine and open the drive. It's really annoying, and one of these days I'm going to break something by mistake.
I really don't have any use for the drive, so I'd prefer the button to simply not work at all. I mean, who uses disks anymore? Disabling the drive in Windows Component Managment doesn't seem to work. I tried a software program called "LockCD", which seemed to work at first, but it won't work anymore ever since I rebooted the machine once.
I realize that I could physically take out the drive and even replace it with a hard drive caddy for extra storage, but that's a project for a rainy day for me. I'm looking for a simpler solution in the meantime.
If it matters, I have an ASUS ROG G751JT (Windows 10).
