I removed the CDs myself. I read online somewhere about putting tape on the end of a plastic ruler and sliding it in - the tape sticks to the CD and slides it out. It worked. The bent paper clip in the hole did not work. Nor did trying to reboot and hold mouse down. The reboot problem started when the CDs got jammed in the drive - that's how I discovered there were CDs in there, computer was trying to boot up and couldn't - sounded like there was a CD in the drive that it was trying to boot off, maybe... and couldn't. So I tried to eject the CD hoping I could reboot then...
