This problem has now been resolved,.....1. There was no disk in
the slot. 2. New Optical Drive & New Power Supply installed. 3.
OUCH !!!!!
Many thanks to everyone on the list who endevoured to assist me,

Subject: Re: Unable to eject/insert CD
Hi Ronda,
not able to click CD/DVD drive, only thing on the left side is my
Hard drive.
Did the Terminal advice, but still nothing happened.
Thanks for all your input..

Hi Bill,
In Disk Utility, click the CD/DVD drive on the left side, and you
should be able to click the Eject button in the top part of the
window.
If that's not possible try this:
Start Terminal (in Applications/Utilities)
In Terminal, enter "drutil tray eject" (without the " ")
The CD should then be ejected.
Cheers,
Ronni

Thanks Jane for your input, just been trying your suggestion-
negative I'm afraid
Thanks Ronda, tried that, all disk utility shows is my Hard drive
& " New Image " & " Info " the rest are greyed out. There is no
Disk Icon showing on the desktop or anywhere else that I can see.
I've had a "gentle" poke inside and there appears to be an
obstruction about 1/2 inch from the top of the Slot, 3/4 of an
inch inside,
might be a screw or lever.
Thanks

Hi Bill,
Have you tried using Disk Utility to see if you can Mount then
Eject the CD/DVD?

Thanks Bob for your offer, I am certainly concidering your
offer , I've a few more ideas to try out from others, and it is
a Imac G5, 20" screen, 1.8ghz. bought 29 Oct 2004.......been a
perfect machine other than this !.... I'm thinking now that
there may be a cd stuck in there, although I can't confirm
visually
Thanks again

Hi Bill
Just quickly make sure you've tried everything written here
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=51008>
And if you have tried everything written here move onto this is
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106752>
Try this more than once if it doesn't work the first Time
If this does not work your only option left Is to take it to
a service centre
