text: dvd player stuck? i know there's a way to click on something that says open but i can't find it.  my button won't let it open.  it seems stuck.  i know that you don't have to use knifes because i have done this before but my mind cannot remember what i did. there is going to be a small hole near the eject button of your drive. what you will want to do is strighten out a paperclip and insert it into this hole, that will manually eject the disk.
