DVD stuck in Macbook? I gots tips to help! :D

Okay, so this was a pretty new (and infuriating :\) experience for my Mac's [super] hard drive. :s

You know, you just happen to watch a new DVD or burn/listen to a CD and it just won't spit it out when you've tried to push 'eject' at least 20 times [in a row].

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFU-

Well, no fear! I have some help for that:

Tip 1: reboot, click.

Reboot your Macbook. As soon as you hear the opening chime, click straight away (works for both trackpads and USB mice). This should force-eject the CD.

Tip 2: 'drutil tray eject'.

If that fails, try going to 'Applications' -> 'Utilities' -> 'Terminal'.

Then type in drutil tray eject and press enter; from here it should try to force-eject. (You can try as much as you like; it shouldn't stress the Macbook.)

Tip 3: card jam

Try to reach for a thin-thick card of some sort (credit cards work best, but since I don't own one, I just took a bookmark instead). Press the 'eject' button, and just jam it in there until you feel it against the CD, and try to drag it out.

Tip 4: tilt, card-jam

This worked for me.~ Pick up the laptop and tilt it at a 90-degree angle, then shove in a piece of card during 'eject' until the force lets the CD drop out a bit, and pull it out the best you can. This should work if the above don't.

I don't know what else there is to it; if all else fails, then try to search for more on Google or take it to a repair shop. :s

If shoving in with a piece of card, don't do it forcefully, since this might just wind up in scratching the CD (not good). Fortunately, my DVD doesn't seem to be scratched badly after more than 30 tries :'3

Strange for a post of mine, I know, but I felt like it, since I hear more people complain about this recently. e.e;
