DVD RW Drive is stuck shut with a disc inside.

[musicfan367]

I have an EMachines computer that has a vertical DVD RW Drive, and it is stuck shut with a disc inside right now. I've tried getting it out by doing the following: Using a paperclip, but there is no small pinhole on this one. And I tried going to "This PC" and right clicked on eject, and nothing helped. If anyone can help me with this problem, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. I just need to get the disc out, and would prefer not to have to pay to do so.

I've never seen an optical drive (of any size) that didn't have a pinhole release. Are you sure you're just not seeing it? Maybe a photo would help. Desktop, laptop, or something else?

It is a Desktop. I've looked hard and there is no pinhole at all!! Wish there was. I thought of maybe trying to pry it open with something, but I don't want to damage it by doing so, so I figured I'd see what else can be done.

Here's a pic of what the computer looks like. <img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31W7PTwvdSL.jpg" alt="Image result for Emachines el1360g-uw12P"/>

When you open the door on the right, the drive is inside, and there is no pinhole in there.

That front cover should come off the case and expose the disc drive.

Yeah, you may have to get down to the bare drive inside the case to access the eject hole.

Your owner's manual (page 34) shows that pinhole too.
