Force eject a CD in a MacBook

This same thing is happening to my Macbook. Whatever you do don't bother taking it to an Apple Store for help.

I dropped mine off for repair for this reason and the back battery eject lever is broken. I was their for 1 hr and the tech had my computer out back for 45 minutes before they let me go.

They said it would take 1 wk to replace the optic driver and repair switch. I bought a back up drive so they could back it up because they could not promise data would not be lost. They said this would add 1 day to the repair.

They called me yesterday to say they found RUST inside my computer (which has never been wet). So they would need to send it out and have ALL OF THE COMPONENTS of my computer tested. And anything they deemed not working would need to be replaced. Now the ONLY thing not working in my computer is the eject on the CD/DVD player. I asked them to email the pictures of this as I was at work. They refused. They said legally they could not email me pictures of what is going on in my computer. They had my computer for 4 days and now wanted to send it somewhere to an "Apple repair center". They know this is a work computer that I use daily at work.

I went to pick it up because the whole thing seems fishy to me. They said somewhere else may be able to just replace the Optic Driver without sending it out,etc. They again refused to give me pictures about what they were talking about. We will show you on our Ipad only. The manager tried to give me her business card and when I did not want it got irritated and annoyed. I'm not sure what her business card was going to do for the situation.

DO NOT TAKE YOU REPAIRS TO THE APPLE STORE. They will try everything they can to complicate anything going on! To top it off they opened the computer and were trying to start the repair.

The back up drive I bought in their store was NEVER opened. They opened it up without backing up my data! And there was dirt all over my screen when I opened it in the store. It was clean when I dropped it off.

Good luck with your eject issue.
