To be honest I don't get like you guys are taking me entirely seriously, I don't get how jelly would help solve the problem. Though I dunno, maybe its kinda a macgyver solution, crazier things...

Though I dunno, maybe its kinda a macgyver solution, crazier things... Well I think jelly is correct, but I'm not sure it's grape though, since it didn't work before. It's because they have organofluorine in them, which really helps lubricate the computer parts. Actually, the people who build the computers use a specific type of organofluorine called Isoflurane to make the dvd drive slide in and out in the first place. Edit: Oh dude I got it! It's blackberry jelly, which contains fluorouracil (another type of organofluorine, or natural lubricant). It's basically a type of friction modifier that chemically bind to hard surfaces to reduce surface friction with or without bulk lubricant present for hydrodynamic lubrication. In jelly, it makes sure that the jelly doesn't stick completely to the jar. When you put it in your computer though, it should allow the parts to slide apart easily. Not something you'd learn in science class! | ||

As for getting the card out, I don't know exactly what would work, but maybe Mani's method seems viable. | ||

A quick search gave me these links. I've never used any of these methods before, so I can't vouch for them. But they do make sense. Good luck in getting that card out! Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4 | ||

Another good idea would be turning your computer so the DVD tray points to the floor and then using a big hammer to bash the back of your computer until it gets out. | ||

Not something you'd learn in science class! Do NOT use jelly, some of these people are seriously misinformed. It is blackberry or strawberry JAM that you need, and it has to be seedless otherwise the tiny seeds can get caught in the gears of DVD drive. A nice mixture Ive used with success is about 75% jam and 25% vasoline. Spread it around generously though otherwise it may not work well.

For some reason though vasoline and molasses react strangely with one another and become chunky, so don't put the molasses in your vasoline/jam mixture. | ||

Step 2: Shake your computer REALLY hard. Step 3: Repeat step 2 until disk drive falls out. | ||

As for your other predicament? Have you tried greasing the grinds with butter, soy milk and soy sauce? Better yet, try those Wonder Cards of the Gameboy | ||
