[X4U] Re: CD stuck in drive

[Crandon David]

Take another look for the hole. On some of the G4's, if I remember  
correctly, the hole is further off to the side, not directly in view  
when the flap opens. You had to take off the bezel, which just popped  
off, or bend the paperclip and sort of snake it in there. I have no  
idea about the iMac though.
