Problem ejecting the Super Drive (MBA)

Hi,

I am a proud owner of MBA from past few years and all the while I have been using the super drive,all of a sudden, one of the DVDs' I was playing, doesnt eject. I tried all ways(including using the knife to pull it out forcibly) but nothing worked. Is there any other way for me to eject it out? or do I have to buy a new Super Drive?

Cheers

Hi and welcome to the forums.
Sorry but you need to list all the ways you have tried. ATM i have no idea and i do need some idea as to try and give you a solution

But have you tried restarting whale holding down the mouse button/trackpad ??

Cheers

Yeah..I tried that as well..and also tried ejecting from windows(I have mac and windows on a different partition)..I also tried leaving it powered on for the whole night(as someone suggested in one of the forums)..I tried using a credit card to insert into the super drive and then tried to pull out the DVD(again as someone suggested in a different forum).I took it to one of the Authorised resellers' of Apple and they suggested me to get a new Super Drive :-(

Think you just answered your own question.

Thanks for that..I was just trying to look for other options or ways

The good news is that you don't need the drive at all

I have a MB Air and simply use the drive in my MB Pro or my PC at home to transfer data or load software. No drive is necessary at all.

System preferences/sharing check the DVD or CD sharing box.
