[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1153133, member: 8287"] I don't remember the command but I seem to remember there is a way to eject the DVD in Open Firmware. Will see if I can find the command. It really sounds like that Optical drive is dead. OWC is the best place to get a new one if you want too put more $$$ into your old Mini. When you installed the hard drive, are you sure everything is plugged in? Is the cable to the optical drive still plugged in to the drive? It's very tight in that Mini. I own the same one and been in there a few times. You might want to check and be sure something did not come loose from the Optical drive. Let us know what happens. [/QUOTE]
