Computer gurus, help me help the troops!

Hey guys and gals i havent been here in a while how yall been?

So heres the deal. You may remember me posting a long time ago about my little bro going into basic. Well that was then, and now hes leaving kuwait for sadr city. Theres been heavy resistance there and i can contribute in a very small way but i need your help.

You see when our boys arent busy kicking *** and taking names, they are bored as hell. Apparently all theyre doing at base or wherever is watching movies or tv episode seasons like seinfeld. He said that we can send stuff over for them to watch and right now he dosnt have much. Im giving them my entire seinfeld season 1 and chappelle show season 1. Its not much but its all ive got. I told him this and apparently they were excited to hear about chappelle show because nobodies got it over there and they all want to see it. However theres one small issue.

I was watching it through my pc a while back when my pc died. The motherboard shorted so it wont even turn on, therefore the cd is stuck in the cd player. Is there a way i can manually eject the dvd player? I know theres a lot of smart guys/gals on here so i was hoping yall can steer me in a good direction.

Absolutely correct.

I'm making the type a little larger so that it's easier to read.
