@seesig: "Any one know the secret for getting a disc out? I've tried a paper clip and 
can't feel anything like I'm used to in other slot loading machines.
And, yes, I've tried holding the Trackpad button.
It shows in Finder and Disk Utility and shows that it ejects. But it doesn't 
and after a while it remounts itself.

Oh, yeah. That's where the holding the Trackpad button comes in. That usually 
works for even the most troublesome disks/drives.
BTW, I just tried another disk and, yep, it's stuck, too. Second takeapart in 
an hour. I ain't gonna do it a third time. I just don't want to part with it 
and have it go back to Apple. I love my MBP and will miss it so. Luckily I 
have DVD drives available. I'll send it in eventually.

Yes. I just today read a report on (Macintouch? Macfixit? Can't
remember, I have so many sites on my daily cruise) where this solved
the problem one person had."

'K. Will try it tomorrow. I've got it down to less than 20 minutes to take it 
apart, get the disc out, and get it together, and doing so so carefully that 
nothing might give me away to Apple.

Check back in February and let me know whether you're still interested

Same thing happened to my brand new MacBook Pro, two weeks after I
bought it.  I hate to part with it also, but do not want to risk
screwing it up.
I even tried the upside-down trick to eject the CD, no luck.
Apple's shipping box due to arrive here in a few hours.
Everyone tells me a week turnaround time is normal, so I will start
yelling at Apple two weeks from now.

Mine ate a disk and had a heart attack less than a week after I got it. 
I've forgotten now what they did to itthere was a defective 
something, but it took about a week to come back and hasn't done that 
in the year since.

Wow, 3 people with basically the same DVD drive problem.
Mary, nice to know Apple fixed your Mac in a weeks time, hope I am that 
lucky myself.   Really miss my new MacBook Pro, wonder if I should send 
it some flowers while it is in the hospital.
Computers have feelings too, y'know.

Well, that is a good fix!  Thumbs up for Apple fixing things promptly.
