Little CD won’t eject

Lum · 03-15-2022, 12:10 PM

It came with an external Wi-Fi stick, it was sucked in by the CD drive of my (2009) MacBook Pro, did not load properly, and now it won’t eject.

Any easy way to get it out?

there is a small hole next to the front door and you can use a needle (or similar) to open it.

i use a bent paper clip for that tiny hole
it is the manual open, you have to push a bit for the door to open

I believe the drive is a slot device i.e. no tray. I don't believe that a mini disk is compatible with a slot player. I might try tipping the PC on the side and try to see if it will fall out enough to grab.

Power on and start pressing the eject button.
