Hi there. And your eject key top right on keyboard doesn't work ether? Try using disk utilities. Open utilities and click on the optical disk go to file /eject.

Hi there. Hear are some other options . Hold down for click on the track pad while restarting and keep it down all the way thru boot. Or use right click on a mouse. If it's stuck, sometimes sticking a business card in top edge of slot while trying the eject option can work.
