CD stuck in CD Writer....what should I do?

[slicksilver]

1. Try opening the drive and figure out a way to remove the CD. Has anyone of you done this before? and what are the chances of success? Please bare in mind that the drive is out of warranty.
2. Goto a technical support guy and ask him to do it and in the process paying him an ass load of money.

Thanks

Try open with paperclip. If that doesn't work, open it up. Shouldn't be hard at all.

yeah there should be a little hole that you can poke a paper clip in; give it a push. The drive should pop open.

yup... do the paperclip thingie.

I have had to open them up in the past when they get stuck all the way in behind the tray. Easy to do.
