Possible force eject button (if all else fails?)

History

When the lid is removed, there is a black button on the RHS of the superdrive slot with wires coming from the base. Could this be the eject button?

mayer, I found that terminal drutil tray eject as suggested by a link provided by nicksmacan dpchelp worked, but when I have to take the lid off again I'll try the button to see if it ejects a cd/dvd, and if it does I will let all IFixit users know, Thanks for your help.

wallaroo,

Could you tell us the actual problem your having?

mayer,

I discovered my original problem was that I had neglected to disconnect the drive from VM Fusion- panic did the rest!

wallaroo,

YES, press it or look for the paperclip size hole to inject a paperclip to eject

my A1283 mini (intel) doesn't have the paper-clip solution, but I read on another site about a "quick fix" designed to be applied by Apple service techs from "under the lid" and I wonder if this is it?

wallaroo,

I have no idea what you've read. please provide a link. did pressing the button not work?
