There's a DVD stuck in my Powerbook, and I can't get it out. Hitting the eject button tells me it's ejecting a Quicktime clip that's on the desktop. The computer doesn't seem to recognize that there's a DVD in the drive at all. Shutting down doesn't work.

I know there are tricks for forcing this thing to eject the disc, but I don't know what they are.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hold down the mouse button while powering it on.

Hold down the mouse button while powering it on.

When I do this, I can hear a click, but nothing's coming out.

I also tried the first hint on this page, but "eject cd" just told me "ok" (without doing anything).

I even tried putting another DVD in the slot, on the off chance that the person who told me there was a DVD stuck in there was wrong, but there's definitely SOMETHING in there.

You've cycled the power, I take it? That usually resets the drive eject mechanism, but apparently not, in this case.

I think so, but I'll try leaving it off for longer this time. This will be about the millionth time this has been tried, though.

[yeah, I can hear it clicking, but nothing comes out. There's some kind of alignment problem.]

(Okay, screw this. I'm emailing our Apple account rep and making an Apple Store appointment.)
