Dell laptop 1555 won't eject my DVD. No manual eject, only can eject disk by going Start - Computer - CD Drive, then right click to get eject option. Disk tries to eject but is clearly stuck. No clear way to remove drive. Anyone have to deal with this? I just rechecked it now. Now I am in Torrance with 73 F. I inserted CD, drive took it in, tried to read and then throws it out. It says READING DISC for long time and then says ERROR READING DISC (though there is no disk inside). When I switch on Radio, it says “CD IN” in a small box. Seems like iPOD and AUX should be the best bet as suggested.
The Lincoln MKZ is equipped with the manufacturer's standard CD player, which features MP3 capabilities, a USB jack and a variety of other features. While the player is among the car's top technologies, it is not free of errors. One common error is that the CDs get stuck inside the player. A stuck CD will prevent you from using the eject button, play your disc or remove the disc to reset the radio or insert another disc. There are a variety of methods you can use to unjam your CD player.
Step 1
Turn your key in the ignition to the 'On' position and press and hold the eject button on your player. This will allow the player to continuously try to force the disc out for up to two or three minutes at a time.
Step 2
Press and hold the small reset button on the player's interface. This is a small black indentation that must be pressed with a pen or a small point. Hold the button for up to ten seconds as the player attempts to reset.
Insert a old or blank CD into the player and attempt to wedge the disc underneath the CD that is already stuck. Hold the new disc under the stuck disc, pushing it back up into the eject slot and press while you hold the eject button on your player.

The Ford Expedition features a standard CD player that is popular for its radio and disc playing capabilities. While the system offers a number of specialized features, it is not without its faults and is prone to losing CDs if they get stuck in the player. You can remove your CDs when they get stuck in just a few seconds with a number of simple tweaks. These can be done without harming the disc or the player.
Step 1
Turn the key in the Expedition's ignition to the 'Acc' position and press and hold the 'Eject' button on the CD player for up to three minutes to try to force the disc out.
Step 2
Press the 'Power' button as you press the 'Eject' button for a couple of minutes to try to force the disc out as the system powers on and off.
Step 3
Press the 'Reset' button on the face of the player to try to reset the system and get the disc out as the system reconfigures itself. This button is a small black indentation on the face of the player that must be pressed with a pen or a paperclip.
Insert the tip of a blank disc into the player and attempt to lodge it into the player underneath the stuck disc. Try to push the stuck CD up into the ejecting track to remove it from the player.
