Cannot get G3 iMac to eject disk

The is a small latch in the right side of the slot than when pressed will eject the cd. Did you find the latch?

Some sticky tape may be of help.

Is the computer trying to eject the cd but failing?

PPC macs

On a PowerPC-based Macintosh (but not an Intel-based Macintosh), you may use Open Firmware to eject a CD or DVD disc when normal methods for ejecting it have not succeeded.

Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the key combination Command-Option-o-f. Enter commands:

eject cd

mac-boot

Eject cd on boot

power off your machine. hold down your left mouse button. power on your machine. This should eject the cd.

Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal

drutil eject

Eject cd

Here is a web page on twelve ways to eject the cd.

seems like the page has gone away

Pressing the latch and slapping a piece of duct tape on the cd worked for me. Or did I use a twisters in stead of duck tape?

Don't know what else to do. May have to take the cd drive out of the machine & replace.

My iMac g3 600 partially ejects the cd these day and I grab and pull.

Good luck.
