If you power the unit off. Remove the power supply and batteries if fitted. Then try the release button. If that does not work then hold the release button whilst connecting the power and switching on. It may then attempt to eject the disk. If that doe snot prove successful then disassembly to access the floppy drive and remove the disk will be required. If you do not feel competant to do this then you will need to obtain the skill of an engineer. I have attached a link to the manual if it is of any use.
