Restart or startup your computer.
Hold down the mouse button immediately.
Continue to hold the mouse button down until the CD ejects.
Not a single one of those suggestions work on an imac with dead USB
ports, like the OP has. No USB, no Mouse.
Some slot loaders have eject buttons on them; possibly all, but I
don't have a lot of experience with them disassembled.where they are
depends on the model, and these are a lot easeir to find if the
system's disassembled, which you're going to have to do to replace
the bad logic board you have.

I just had one with the exact same problem and a logic board
replacement was in order, so after that the optical media will mount
and can be ejected.
