Another idea - change to FM radio, then back to CD, and push eject immediately. About one of your comments - "doesn't open up" - nothing opens up when you insert a CD; just wait a second or two, and then insert it part of the way, and it will grab it and pull it in. If you can insert another CD, it has to change the focus to #2, so then you could try other methods.
