[X4U] Stuck CD - advice much appreciated.

[Brett Conlon]

So the disc is full-size then?

Check out AppleCare docs on resetting the Power Manager Unit for your 
model. On my 17" AlBook at home I had this issue when I first got it and 
resetting the PMU helped. I think it was holding the Power Button for 5 
seconds when booting up or maybe another key holding was involved.

Cheers,

Coj

[X4U] Stuck CD - advice much appreciated.






Dear List,

I have a CD that is stuck inside my MacBook Pro. The eject mechanism
attempts to eject the CD, but appears to encounter a problem, gives up and
remounts the disc on the desktop and iTunes. From the sound of it, it's a
hardware rather than a software problem. I can't see any obstruction, but
there's not much to see anyway. The disc appeared perfectly fine when I
inserted it and plays fine via iTunes. Can anybody recommend anything to 
get
it out? Advice would be much appreciated as I use the drive a lot.

All the best, Colin.

The CD is a review disc by an electronica group called Gescom. It's a CD
reissue of the world's first minidisc-only release, now that minidisc has
become an almost defunct medium. Perhaps there's some form of revenge, and
certainly irony, in this situation.
