I'm a bit confused by this one--do you mean a CD that is in there, and
you can't get it out?

Probably a stupid question, but every so often people aren't familiar
with it--most CD drives (not Apple of course, because then you wouldn't
have to pay them to fix it), have a small hole in the front of the
tray--if you put a paper clip or something equally small in there, it
should open the CD tray, whether the computer is on or off.

You're probably familiar with that, but every so often, as I said, it's
one of those things that someone never used, so never knew existed.
