SOLVED: Optical Drive hardware eject - MacBook Pro 17" Models A1151 A1212 A1229 and A1261

Optical Drive hardware eject

I have an A1261 Core2duo 17" MacBook Pro which died due to a faulty logic board a few days ago. There's a dvd stuck in the drive which I want to get out. What are my options? It's out of warranty, so I don't mind tearing it down. Is there a hardware eject for the optical drive?

I'd also like to know if you guys stock logic boards for my laptop model... its a 2.5ghz core2duo 17" mbp
