You may have been "wiggling" the Tibook a bit when trying to get the CD 
out.

Without any CD:s in the drive try a gentle squeeze at approximately the 
centre of the drive. Sort of with your pointing finger at the bottom of 
the Tibook and the thumb on the top. If the mechnism has wiggled apart 
you would here a clicking (or connecting sound) and if so you can try 
loading a CD again. (I have fixed mine and two other Tibooks, out of 
warranty, this way so it isn't as crazy as it may sound :-))

To help the loading always enter the CD slightly from the centre of the 
Tibook. If this treatment is successful you should have a look at the 
screw under the keyboard as well as the once at the bottom of the 
Ti-book. By tightning them up you will avoid the "wiggling" that caused 
the mechanism to come apart. Also from now on don't move or lift the 
Ti-book only in the right hand corner (the combo drive area) but use 
both hands instead.

Please let us know if that helped or maybe somebody else could come up 
with some other suggestions.
