I put one of my bootlegs in my laptop at work. Now it won't come back out :?

Really don't want to call the IT dept. and say my Pearl Jam CD is stuck inside my laptop...

Anyone have any tips for me lol??

    Pry that bitch open and get your PJ disc back. :D Seriously sometimes in your media player there is an eject option. Look for that.

    or you can right click on the drive icon and there should be an eject option or reboot and hit eject on the drive could work then

    I know my PC at work sometimes requires some, mm, convincing, before it will eject a disc.

    There is a small hole, for which the end of a (straightened-out) paperclip is a perfect fit. Push the end of the paperclip in, and voila, manual eject.

    that is exactly what they just did! if only i had waited two more minutes...

    i was getting nervous they'd all leave for the day though!

    I must be even worse than I thought with computers... someone else from IT just sent me an email that actually said this:

    "There should be a button on the tray itself to eject the disk."

    LOL

    thanks for your help everyone!!

    Doh!!! I should have answered sooner.

    Now you know for next time: Ask your PJ friends, and sit tight. We'll get back to you!
