You sure it's not just a positioning issue with the paper clip? Some CD drives have a very tiny "target" for the paper clip to push against. If you angle it even a little bit, it will "miss" the actuator. The jumbo size paper clip works best.
Since the paper clip is pushing against a mechanical actuator, it doesn't matter whether the power is on or off, etc. Even the latest MDD units still have the "paper clip" emergency extraction provision.
