OK Peter, managed to get the disc to eject. Have now tried to reboot with Leopard DVD but as yet no success.

Thanks also to Lloyd - have followed info u sent but again at this stage no success as yet - going to keep trying, just maybe something will spark life into this machine!

Thanks again Peter,

Yes, I have tried several times now but still no change to the screen(have continued to hold down cmd-V for uotp 2 minutes). I have now realised that there already is an iPod Touch DVD in the slot and I cannot release/eject this disc as my wireless keyboard is not connected to the machine?! I have now tried removing all cables and turning off the power at the wall and then relaunching with the power button depressed as I plug back into the mains socket(as proposed on the Apple support site) but still to no avail! This is not looking too good!

How about if you hold down the Mouse button at startup? This should eject the DVD.
