[QUOTE="bfowler, post: 383452, member: 16487"] palley, welcome to my club. I did the very same thing my very first day. If nothing else you have tried has worked, I got my disk out by... MAKE SURE YOUR MACBOOK IS POWERED DOWN 1. Very carefully inserting a straightened out paper clip about one inch into my cd/dvd drive. Keep it ro the right and you should feel some spring tension. apparently that is a manual release switch you feel there. 2. Press the clip towards the tight so that the "switch" is fully depressed. 3. While the switch is depressed move your laptop in a quick forward motion, thus forcing the disk out of the slot. May take a few attempts, I had to actually upend my laptop and give it a little shake but the disk came out quickly. Ususally sticking sharp metal objects in to a diskdrive and shaking a $2000 computer would be considered "bad". Just be gentle , it worked for me. Hope that works for you. bf [/QUOTE]
