Did you ever consider that it might just be broken ! You might consider adding a disk eject icon to your upper panel and see if that works.

Have you tried right-clicking the DVD icon on the computer and selecting something similar to "eject" or "open tray" from the menu that pops up?

This is your laptop or something else
If this is laptop than follow my steps"
Restart laptop
Watch screen carefully and press the eject button on the DVD drive as soon as the memory count begins.
Many stuck DVD drives can be solved by simply rebooting the laptop.Last edited by Cheryl; February 29th, 2012 at 05:41 AM. Reason: removed url
