Remove a stuck CD or DVD from a slot loading drive
Authored by: californiafox on Jun 05, '08 09:36:36AM

There are two other tips for a stuck disc that work nearly always:

1) Turn the machine upside down and eject the disc - gravity gives you a little bit of a boost and often times will wiggle it out. (obviously this trick is a bit harder on your iMac G3, but on most portables is very easy)

2) If the disc is just barely visible, actually jar the machine (don't hit it on something) but shake it and stop it abruptly, and often times the disc will come flying out.

...I have saved hundreds of stuck discs with these two simple tricks.
