[CUBE] Core jammed, latches won't release...

[Hal]

I've had this problem once or twice. In my case, I was able to get a 
butter knife in between the metal plate outside the DVD drive and the 
metal liner and release the core. When reassembling the core, I'd not 
fitted the metal plate quite right and it caused the core to jam.

good luck.
