CD Changer Cassette Stuck
 

The cassette for my CD changer is stuck. :( I've hit up YouTube and discovered that the changer comes out with the turn of a screw and cost about $300 to replace. I also found a tutorial explaining how to insert a thin but sturdy piece of plastic under the cassette and activate a switch while pressing the eject button (this, of course, didn't help). At the worst, I'll take it out, take it apart to free the captured CDs, end up breaking it, and then have to replace it for $300. At best, maybe someone knows The Trick I haven't been able to discover. Thank you so much!
