MacMini DVD Player won't accept CD/DVDs

I'm trying to insert a DVD into the DVD player on my MacMini but the slot appears to be block; i.e.: the player will not allow me to insert the DVD. There's no other DVD or CD presently in the player. It simply will not 'pull in' the inserted DVD/CD.

The MacMini is less than two years old and so far r

Thanks for the link. But it appears that I am not able to insert the DVD, or any CD, far enough for the player to grab it. I'm afraid to exert more power because I may break some internal mechanism. It's as if something is 'stuck' in there. As I said in my previous post, there is no other CD/DVD in there. I just can't get that drive to 'grab' my inserted DVD.

I guess a new external player would be the best solution. It's disappointing to see that Apple uses crappy components these days....
