Sam, Restart/track pad didn't work and it's not a non-standard disc or one with a label. Looking closely at the laptop, I think it might have been trodden on by a six year old (there's a lesson there about not leaving a laptop on the floor). There's a definite bow to the case in the area of the CD drive and I think that's jamming the eject. Hmmmmm.
How easy/difficult is it to disassemble so I can get the CD out and then tweak the case straight?
