cd drive won't open

[Mary C. Youra]

This morning, my husband offered to back up (we use an external 
firewire hd) and to run Disk Warrior 3 (for the first time) on my iBook 
800, while I went shopping. When I got home, he reported that Disk 
Warrior didn't want to run on my iBook -- he got a message that said it 
could only run on a computer he owned. He said he'd tried three times, 
with my iBook crashing completely -- so, he took the battery out  to 
restart (he didn't know to press the start key to reset). There were 
other details, like installing DW on the drive, but the gist was he 
couldn't run it. However, at the moment my bigger problem is that I 
just discovered the cd tray won't open when the Media Eject button is 
pressed -- nor using the fn-Media Eject method Apple mentions in the 
little owner's manual.

I restarted, and opened it with a paper clip, and I can eject a disk by 
dragging it to the trash, but the Media Eject is still not functioning.

I got this iBook in December - OS. 10.2.6 - and I love it. Any 
suggestions, or is my husband facing a night on the couch?
