Also,check that you go to device manager and right click on the DVD drive to uninstall the driver and then reboot your laptop to reinstall the DVD drive driver.

I haven't been able to find a sufficiently detailed picture of your model of laptop, but most laptop DVD drives have a little pinhole next to the eject button for manual ejection.Switch off the laptop insert a straightened-out paperclip into the hole. Press and the drive will be ejected. You can do this while the laptop is working, but it may start throwing errors about the drive being unmounted without warning etc.

Would safety-pin be correct to use to eject?
