[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 277505, member: 13565"] The card stops the disc from spinning which in turn causes it to be ejected....it's one of those fixes that aren't supposed to work like hitting an [I]older[/I] tv to clear up reception problems. If this didn't work someone suggested using precision tweezers to try to grab a hold of the disc if it wasn't too far inside the slot. I don't know if the disc could be damaged or not by this method. I read that years ago there were a few commercial discs released with the ability to freeze up a drive like and refuse to eject. These discs clearly stated that they were not CD's and not intended for playback in Mac/PC The story is 4 yrs old but here's the link: [URL="http://www.macobserver.com/article/2002/05/10.10.shtml"]http://www.macobserver.com/article/2002/05/10.10.shtml[/URL] [/QUOTE]
