MacBook Pro; Stuck DVD

I’ve recently discovered my MacBook Pro likes to eat optical discs. The usual drutil and other crap doesn’t work. Occasionally rebooting and holding down the trackpad button helps, but you have to literally grab on to a centimeter of plastic before it near-instantly gets sucked back in. Plus you have to reboot. What the hell is that? I don’t have to reboot Windows. Pffft.

The better solution for this problem: Join the National Rifle Association.

My latest stuck disc issue was easily resolved by jamming my NRA membership card (which is of a lesser thickness than a credit card) into the drive, wedging it on top of the disc. Press and hold the eject button while applying some pressure downward on the edge of the disc. Slides right the hell out and doesn’t get retracted.

I mention I freaking love technology, man?
