Eject a stuck CD/DVD from a MacBook Pro SuperDrive
Authored by: gmmaupin on Sep 13, '10 04:56:46PM

I read through the thread and seemed to have a slightly different situation. Nothing was working. The computer would not shut down or restart. I got the endlessly spinning gear. I could hear the disk drive running. The 10 minutes plus didn't work.
I took a thin plastic card and slid it into the slot to stop the disk from spinning.

After I figured that out. I held down the power button for a few seconds to force a shut down. Then hit the power button to start up.

At start up, I stopped the disk from spinning and pushed the eject button. It came out.
