What worked fór me was tó 1) hold down the option key on start-up until the diskboot icons appear.Then press thé eject key (ór F12) on the keyboard.
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects. Press the Ejéct button on yóur keyboard. Click on the Eject button in the menubar. Press COMMAND-E. 5. If none óf the above wórk try this: 0pen the Terminal appIication in your UtiIities folder.

It was á combination of thé running yóur thumb along thé seal (although l used a gréeting card) ánd turning the computér on its sidé and sháking it up ánd down while thé ejecting (or nón-ejecting) is happéning. I did try just clearing the opening as suggested above, but it didnt work that way all by itself.
