[Cube] CD stuck in cube

[Luis Meleiro]

Jane: try the following... 
 
1. Use Disk Utility to eject The first and simplest method, if you only
want to unmount a single volume on the disk, is to use Disk Utility,
located in Applications/Utilities. In Disk Utility, simply select the
volume you want to unmount and click Eject. 
 
2. Hold Down the mouse button at startup In some cases holding down a
connected mouse button at startup will cause a misbehaving optical drive
to eject its media. (Unfortunately, this method will not work if you are
using a Bluetooth keyboard.). 
 
3. Boot into Open Firmware and eject If you have a Mac that will not
startup properly and has a stuck disc, try booting into Open Firmware by
holding down Command, Option, O key and F key during startup. After
booting into Open Firmware, type the command: eject-cd. 
 
4. Enabling an Eject menu As a side note, you can enable another means
of ejecting disks by opening the folder System/Library/CoreServices/Menu
Extras and double-clicking the file Eject.menu. An eject icon will
appear in the menubar that can be used to close and open selected
optical drives. (If you no longer want the Eject menubar item, hold down
the command key while clicking and dragging the icon out of the menubar
space.). 
 
Hope this was helpful, 
LM

Hi,

Is there a way to get a CD to eject from the cube without taking it 
apart? I've never had one refuse to come up before!
