Can you manually eject a cd from an iMac intel core duo?

Is there a way, like with the paper clip? Don't want to stick one in there willy nilly.

I've tried all the other ways to eject, i.e., restart with eject button down.

Any help?

Check out this video, it may help. Doing the procedures in the video and below *could* cause harm to your iMac...

Or you could try getting it out with a credit card.

You may be able to take apart the iMac and take it out that way, too.

Recently spent heaps of time trying to get one out of a MBP without luck. Turned it all off went to bed and next morning powered on held mouse button and it popped out. Don't ask me why but it seemed to like cooling off.
