I bought a A1181 laptop for my daughter. She dropped it and now the screen is broke.

I hope to get it fixed but for now there is a movie in it that I need to get out. How do I get the disk out??? On my IBM I can put a paper clip in a hole next to the tray and it pops out... does apple have anything like that???

Regardless of whether or not the screen is broken, the laptop still should power up which means you'll be able to get the disk out by holding down F-12.

Yes my name is Jaguar. No, it is not a joke. I don't find your "I'm a cheetah." joke funny.
