the latch might simply just be stuck. I'd try sticking a paperclip in the small hole on the front of the face plate to do a manual eject. If that doesn't work, you may just have to get a replacement drive.

Your Toshiba should have a manual eject hole on it, I just looked at the drive on my dell laptop and it has one.
