MacBook Pro - Eject Button Troubleshooting
Ever have a problem with a CD/DVD stuck in your offline MacBook Pro and it doesn't allow you to boot up OS X? Apple mentioned the solution is to press and hold the trackpad button when booting your MBP. You tried that, but still fails? Another possible fix is the credit card/knife trick that sometimes works, but it just sounds not right?
OK, now there is an easy way to do it: Just power up your MBP and leave it alone for about 10 minutes. It will eventually boot up and the CD/DVD will automatically eject. Make sure your power cable is plugged in, though!
I have posted this solution at MacOSXHints.com, here is the direct link: Eject a stuck CD/DVD from a MacBook Pro SuperDrive
