Eject a stuck CD/DVD from a MacBook Pro SuperDrive
Authored by: andytjuatja on Aug 16, '06 08:13:36PM

Several approaches might fails as the SuperDrive appears to keep trying on reading the CD/DVD as it tries to boot from it.

This specifically useful in the case where you've inserted a faulty CD/DVD or maybe region-specific DVD that your drive won't be able to read it and somehow turned off your mac before ejecting it, then the pressing & holding Eject on booting or loading to the firmware doesn't works.

However, this 10-minutes approach will work, so don't panic! (OK..wait for 10-15 minutes due to relative/subjective timing)

Not that i want it to happened on anyone though
