Well, I found a guide that tells which screws to remove in order to remove the optical drive.  I removed the screws it said, and nothing happened.

I did however find out what's holding the CD in there.  Somehow, when I was closing the tray the first time, I pushed the CD up above the tray, so it's now resting on the tray shielding.  If I can actually manage to get the drive out, the CD will come right out.  I just don't know how since doing what the guide said didn't work.


If it's anyone's concern, here's the guide:

Edit*

Had to pull really hard on the drive after removing said screws.  Like, I needed to use quite a bit of force.  I think it was because of the pressure that said CD was adding against the drive..possibly.  Anyway, fixed it now.
I like to glitch old VHS tapes and turn them into visuals for live music events. Check out what I'm working on - www.instagram.com/tylerisneat
