This can happen, and usually it is caused by the Airport metal cover
popping out and catching the enclosure preventing the core from coming
out. It can be solved by sticking something thin between the core and
the enclosure where the airport card is (someone will ahve to help out
with the correct location), therefore pushing the airport cover back in
place and opening the cibe. My CD's almost regulray have trouble
ejecting, and I help htme out by sticking a business card in the slot,
that mekes them pop out more easily. :)
