eject cd with paper clip??

Before you do that and risk braking your drive, try doing an SMC reset.

AS I have said,trie everything.

Need to take a more agressive,paper clip,actiom.

How is someone to know what tried everything means for someone else?

Next time please list what actions you have taken and maybe you will get answers more to your liking.

hold command s at boot time

/usr/bin/drutil eject

press enter

reboot

press enter

People on these boards often claim to have "tried everything" without actually researching all the possibilities, so please don't be offended that we ask.

Rather than attempting to use a paper clip, I would suggest what my article says -

"If you are unable to remove the disc from the drive please contact Apple, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service."

Attempting to do it yourself risks damage to your computer, your CD, and your paper clip.

Best of luck.

Have you tried all the steps in this article?
