External superdrive is dead for some reason. I have a CD stuck inside and can’t figure out how to remove it.

Hi! Follow this guide to get to the drive itself, after you remove it, continue disassembling the drive until you get to the CD.

Boot up holding down the track pad or holding down the mouse button. If that fails, we’ll go into other means using the console and finally a teardown of the drive. Is there anything unusual about the disk?
