What do you do when the DVD drive will NOT slide out? That’s my problem. There’s no disk inside; the unit is simply stuck shut. Now what do you do?

For me, the DVD drive connection had, what I think was soda, inside of the port and it acted like a sort of glue so brute force may be the option.

After a deep cleaning of the connections, it worked like new.
