Eject a stuck CD/DVD from a MacBook Pro SuperDrive
Authored by: broadbrush on Dec 11, '09 06:53:36AM

Thanks to bonesauce for posting the link to http://www.silvermac.com/2006/dvd-stuck-in-macbook-pro/

I had tried everything else: letting the computer sit, typing instructions into the terminal, downloading an apple script, etc. Inserting a small piece of cardboard (no thicker than a business card) into the drive while booting up was the only thing that worked. The system was trying to boot from the drive, so when the drive was stopped it went on to the next alternative.

Thanks! This saved me a trip to the Apple Store during this really hectic time.
