    Take the battery out, open the back up, and you should see the Drive. Remove it from the system and try to shake it out. If that doesnt work you should be able to easily take apart the blu-ray drive and remove it.

    hahaha, I saw this thread, and my first thought was "Somone did it again??" lol. I always look before I slide it in. Plus I keep the false card in there so I have to remove it. I also replaced my optical drive with a HDD, and the caddy won't allow anything to go into the slot
