[Cube] CD Stuck in Drive

[Luis Meleiro]

Rick, 
 
If nothing (os x or software based) is responsive, you should give open
firmware a try: 
 
Press and hold command+option+O+F right after the chime and while the
Cube's starting up. 
welcome to open firmware message will appear. 
 
Type: eject-cd (or eject cd - without the dash - not sure, but you can
try both) 
 
Press Enter. Any stuck CD should then be ejected and ok message should
appear. 
 
Type: mac-boot 
 
Press Enter again. 
 
If this is not working out, perhaps you'll have to take your Cube apart
and try the emergency eject button. 
 
Hope this was helpful, 
LM

The subject says it all--I put a CD in the drive of my Cube (Tiger 
10.4.3) and it's stuck now. It doesn't appear on the desktop, it 
won't eject with the eject button on the keyboard or by holding down 
the mouse button on restart, Disk Utility and Toast 6 don't recognize 
it. I hear no activity from the CD drive, and Profiler shows no CD 
drive connected at all.

Any help will be appreciated.
