I have a CD stuck in my laptop. The computer is not registering that it's there and the eject button on the display is not doing anything. Please can anyone help?

If a CD or DVD gets stuck in your computer’s optical drive, you can actually extract it by yourself without seeking help from a technician. What you need to do is to insert a straightened paper clip into a tiny hole that is located on the front of the drive, typically right next to the eject switch. Once you’ve inserted the clip, the stuck CD should be easily ejected.0

In my experience, poke the pin in until something goes 'click' - this realises a lock, and you can then pull the drawer out and access the CD.
Take it switching the machine off and back on hasn't cured it?0
