There's a piece of metal that goes up when a CD is inserted to prevent it from popping out, a piece of cardboard and tape won't get past it. Some chubby kid did a YouTube, but I can't find the 12MM G-Spot for the eject switch with the paperclip and his camera was too shaky to see where he was trying to get to. There's no pin hole either!
My scenario is that my hard drive crashed and I'm trying to recover, there's no GUI interface to Right-Click, the keyboard doesn't respond to the Finesse key for ejecting, there is no pin hole, the CD is stuck, so I can't put in a boot-able CD to recover the drive.
