Most CD and DVD drives have an emergency eject mechanism.

Power down the PC. Straighten a large paperclip and insert it through the
small hole in the front of the drive. (Another poster suggested a
screwdriver, but it'd have to be a really small one.) You should be able to
press a catch mechanism that'll release the tray. That should work even if
the CD drive is shot.

If you're reasonably careful, you won't damage either the CD or the drive
this way.

I'm not hopeful that the CD drive will be OK, though. Good luck with it. A
CD drive is inexpensive and fairly easy to replace, but paying someone to do
it for you may not be all that cheap. I think that one of the (shudder)
chain stores might do it for $50 plus the cost of the drive. (That's a
little dear for 20-30 minutes' work.)

Address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.
