For whatever reason, my computer is refusing to eject either of the optical drives. I have repaired the disk, repaired permissions, run Disk Warrior and all of that fun stuff. I can still control the brightness of my monitor and type with the keyboard, just not eject the disc. Apple, in their infinite wisdom whom none can deny, have decided that manual eject buttons on the drives themselves should not be easily accessible (trust me, I've tried). Form over function.
Is there anything software-wise I can do about this?
I think my next step will be to open the computer up and check for a short on the drive power cables. It's really crowded in their and I recall they don't give a lot of slack with the wires. I am prepared to be frustrated.
EDIT: No short. Bottom drive opens with manual button, top does not. Bottom will not mount inserted disc.
