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.]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Okay, it's .mac renewal time for me again. I'm going to see if I can scrape up the bucks. Plus? I am looking for a cheaper one.

Here's what froogle finds: [link]

Anyone see any for less than $75?
