help!

i put a disk in the dvd drive with one of those labels on, and it's stuck...the tray opens about 1" but then goes back in...no sign of the disk at all....

is there an easy way to get it out ?

:(

hi,

this is quite dodgy!!...try pressing eject _then_ powering off at the plug, so you can stop the tray before it goes back in, then, very carefully, try pulling the tray out, tease it out, both listening and feeling for any resistence, either that, or you gotta take the dvd drive apart...goodluck m8

i got it out...could just see a slither of disk...got a small screwdriver and worked it out with power off like you said...it's fine !
