So,is there anyone who knows how to remove a CD out of a drive? <BR>
I have no trouble removing the drive out of the Mac to get at it.<BR>
The drive is a </FONT></SPAN><FONT FACE="Lucida Grande, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11.0px'><B>PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-K04L using FW ver. D441<BR>
<BR>
BTW, System Profiler does not detect any CD in the drive, <BR>
unless I restart with Command+option PR.<BR>
<BR>
It seems to me like the eject mechanism is defective. <BR>
The CD can spin and I can read it data.<BR>
