How to remove cd/dvd drive from dead toshiba laptop?

[carmelkmel]

My toshiba laptop is dead and I need to remove a dvd from its drive... I do not have the charger with me, so how do I remove the dvd without the laptop being charged..

There is usually a small hole in the side of the DVD drive where you can stick a straightened paper clip to manually remove your DVD.
