how to get a cd out?

a cd is stuck within my old mini.

It is not shown on the desktop and not in the disk utility.


even a "drutil eject" command did not work.



I even cant get into a firmware prompt (trying to hold cmd, alt, f and o also trying 0 instead)...


Is there a chance to eject the cd with

a) either commands

or

b) physical power (which hole/button to push a screwdriver into?)



help needed!!!

several, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

What did help yesterday was:


Turning the mini upside down (physically).

This way, only after operating the system in this state for several minutes,

force of gravity took over and pushed some internal buttons:


The disc did show up on the desktop and could then be ejected easily...
