A cd has been stuck inside my mac for almost a year. The guy at the Apple Store tried to fix it, doing all sorts of trick on the keyboard, and also using a bit of cardboard inside the slot.
Didn't work.
He said I have to send my mac for repair, which will cost a small fortune, and it's without any guarantee it will work afterwards.
So, any tips?
Is this a good question?

The Apple Store guy was most likely right but if you are handy you can pull the drive yourself and take out about 6 screws on the drive and remove the disk. Then put it all back together and hope for the best.
Here are the instructions for removing the drive:
iBook G4 14" 933 MHz-1.33 GHz Optical Drive Replacement
And if you need it here is a replacement drive:

Many options but choose the one you need if you still need it after pulling apart.
Good luck
