well i DID just get a mini disc stuck in there. what am i
supposed to do now?! as well as the mini disc, there is also a
full-sized CD stuck in there as well. and the laptop, of
course, doesn't detect either of them, so ejecting isn't
possible. paper clips don't help, either.

please help ASAP!!!!

try plugging a mouse into the Macbook and then turn the
machine off. As you turn it back on hold down on the left
mouse button as it powers on (this is suppose to eject any
disc in the drive).

You could also try using the Terminal. Open Terminal and
type

drutil tray eject

then hit enter.

With 2 discs you may have a problem though as they may
be jammed. If you can hear the drive trying to eject the
discs try prying the slot open slightly a little more (and
very carefully!) as the disc mechanism tries to do its job. If
that still fails you'll need to take the machine to an Apple
Authorized repair center so they can dismantle it.

Or if you fell really brave go to ifixit.com and check out
their take apart guides for macbooks. This will void your
warranty however.
