I am not sure which board to post this, this is not computer related but hopepfully somebody will be able to help me with this. Hubby has been very stupid and inserted a CD in his cd compartment (car)and forgot there was one already in it. Now, the CD is stuck, two of them and they cannot be ejected. Thanks.

i had a similar thing happen to me recently
my youngest (2 1/2yrs old) trhought it would be great fun to stick 2 credit cards into my floppy disk drive on the pc
they would not eject at all
so.........
i got the missus's tweezers................
sorted!!!
give it a go if you can access the slot (ooer missus)
good luck0 -
The CD drives on your computer (and hopefully in the car too) have a tiny hole near the eject button. This is an emergency eject mechanism. Straighten out a paperclip and push it into the hole carefully (you should feel it trigger the mechanism) and this should eject the drawer for you. It may need a bit of careful persuasion to pull it open with 2 discs in it tho!Money can't buy you happiness, but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.

some car ones only have a slot, and I suspect this is one; you wouldn't put a 2nd disc on an open drawer0
