Busted Superdrive

Somehow a small piece of paper has slipped inside my computer’s Superdrive (that’s what Apple calls their optical disk drives, no idea why), and it no longer accepts disks. When I put one in, it slides in like it should, then the drive hesitates and spits it back out. Luckily there’s no visible damage to the disk, but the drive is basically out of commission for the time being. I’m planning on dismantling the computer on saturday to retrieve the paper from the drive (I would use tweezers, but i can’t really fit them in there…Plus I want to open my computer :P). I would be doing the dismantling tonight, but apparently we don’t own a Torx screwdriver of the right size to open up a MacBook Pro, so it will have to wait. Oh well, I rarely use the optical drive anyway.
