I have a mid-2009 15-inch MacBook Pro (Model 5,4) running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. I have a very important DVD in the DVD drive, and it is irreplaceable. I put it in the drive, and the drive did not recognize that the DVD was in the drive. I've tried all the tricks, (/user/bin/drutil eject, command+e, tilting, left button while restarting, TrayEject script, etc.), and it won't even try to eject the disk, since it doesn't think one is in there. I also can't open DVD/CD menus to try to eject it. No whirring or anything. There is no paperclip hole, and this is a slot load drive. Since the computer thinks that nothing is in the drive, I can't even get it to try ejecting.
I need to find some way to physically remove the disk, no matter the damage to the drive. I can't risk taking the computer apart, though. Since the drive doesn't even spin or attempt to eject when i try to eject, that complicates things, and I've not been having any luck with the credit card trick since the drive more or less is unresponsive to any feedback other than putting a disk in.
Please help me, this DVD is incredibly important and is irreplaceable.
