BWahaha! I've done that twice. It didnt break it either time. I was like, uh oh. Its not supposed to come out at that angle.. grabbed the deck, twisted, popped, and it worked.

The drive motor recently went out on my cd drive, after only two years. cuss:

I work at a computer shop, so I got a new one free biggrin:
