How to remove CD/DVD when the disc tray will not open
Pressing the eject button will not open the disc tray when the computer 
power is off. If the power is off, you can open the disc tray by inserting a 
slender object (about 15 mm) such as a straightened paper clip into the 
eject hole near the eject button.
