[QUOTE="WullieMac, post: 1039415, member: 151738"] [b]Stuck DVD[/b] What a relief to see this thread! I have exactly the same problem and found the exact same solution. Lift it up at the back left corner and drop it about half an inch. The worst part of the Mac Mini is the DVD drive. It's never worked properly. Even when I get the DVD eventually to eject, it seems to affect normal start-up because for a while after each episode of DVD hassles the computer won't boot. It gets part way and stops. Sometimes it stops at the white screen, sometimes it stops at the blue screen. I keep on unplugging and restarting until it works. It doesn't just appear to stop while it does something in the background. I've left it undisturbed for over half an hour on the white or blue screen and it's still stuck when I get back. I've spoken twice to Apple about this but they don't appear to recognise the fault. Strange given that it is exactly what other people report. [/QUOTE]
