Look for a very small hole around the CD slot.  Straighten a small paper clip and push it into the hole.  This hole is an "emergency" ejector for time when you need to remove a CD and for whatever reason it won't eject one.

To the left of the CD ROM there is a tiny hole to put the paper clip in. Put it in farther enough so it opens.
