Pull the battery and pull the AC cord. That will kill it. The machine 
will run a file system check on reboot so it will take a but longer 
start after you do this. Hopefully you can eject the dvd after that.

Hi all!
I need help!
I was watching a dvd in my Pismo with Jaguar 10.2.6 and it just 
stopped. It's frozen on a frame. This is a replacement drive I've had 
under AppleCare for months. The bad brand, whichever Apple uses.

Well, I can't eject it. I push f12 and the eject image appears but the 
rainbow ball just keeps spinning. I think my Applecare either ran out 
10/1 or will on 10/10.

My Pismo's just getting hot. I can't get it to force quit...

Any ideas?

TIA,

Donald

Steve:

Popped the battery out and rebooted. Put the dvd back in and it plays 
but I don't like the sound of the driveand this is a replacement 
drive.  I guess I'm off to the AppleStore this weekend. My AppleCare 
lasts another week. Maybe I'm lucky in that the drive can be replaced. 
I've been using my desktop and haven't been using the Pismo, so it's 
better that I have a chance to investigate further while I'm just under 
AppleCare.

Not sure if this was mechanical but I'll hope my local Apple geniuses 
can help.

Thanks eveyone and thank you Steve.
