CD stuck in Player --- 2000 / A4 / 1.8T
 

A standard single-cd player. The cd will not eject when the button is hit.
But the cd *will* play ok, so it is not a fuse knocking out the radio.

I cannot seem to find a mechanical eject slot (like the little holes you
find on the faceplate of computer cd drives so you can insert a paperclip to
force it open).

Any ideas?-----Thanks!

PS. I've had an inordinate number of things go wrong with this car. I
started telling the dealership about it, and before I got past "I'm having a
lot of trouble with my a4" he asked "is it a 99 or 2000?" Anyone else
notice reliability problems these years? My sister in law has a 2002, and
is experiencing trouble as well. Please, no "go team" rah rah rah knee-jerk
defensiveness needed here.

Doesn't /anyone/ know where I can find a credit card company that emails me
the minute something is charged to my account?

It's the bottom of the line built-in thing, not a standard rectangle
enclosure, etc....
