How do I eject a CD from my PB G4 12"?

Sadly, restarting with the mouse button didn't do it. The apple-option-f
firmware eject cd didn't work. I had already tried ejecting from iTunes and
Toast earlier in the day. That didn't work.

It appears to be physically stuck. It was a brand new store-bought DVD. I
did wish that the slot-loaders have a little button for a paperclip
mechanism. I remembered my Ti G4 400 Mhz had it. I was just surprised to
find no such hidden button for the combo drive in my 12"er.

Everytime I eject, the DVD stays inside and then it will spin back up to
re-mount on the desktop.

This brand new DVD may have been warping. It did sound unbalanced when it
first started up. Maybe if I unscrew the screws on the sides of the PB, I
can open it up?

*sigh* I'll probably turn in my 12"er and resort to my backup Ti G4 400
Mhz...
