Fluxstringer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> replied to my stuck CD problem:
I have not looked at the CD drives on iMacs. but if they
are like those on our legacy PCI Macs they have a small
hole on the front. A large paperclip bent so that the
end can be shoved into this hole can be pushed against
the lever inside which will eject the disk.
I tried poking a paperclip into the little hole next to the CD drive with
no joy. Later, a coworker cracked open the case on the reluctant iMac and
extracted the CD, to my great pleasure. He said that after eyeballing the
CD drive up close, he's determined that the CD release button is
software-driven, as opposed to a mechanical release.
Is this actually the case?
