you will find a tiny hole on the front panel of the disc player. Stick a pin or something similar in the hole and it will release the tray.
I use a bent paperclip

There is a hole near the eject button. Simply stick a long and sturdy needle in it, and it will eject the tray (just like SIM card extractor on some new phones)
EDIT: ger-r--r-r.... he beat me again.

You need to take the DVD ROM out of the case, because the hole is behind the front cover.

you should be able to flick the cover open with your fingers, then you will see the face of the DVD player.
Got it, thanks guys!
What you should do is get an old cd-rom or dvd-rom from somewhere, maybe a system someone is throwing out. Take the drive and destroy it enough to where you can see inside and how the manual release works. You will never have a problem opening one again.

Beat it with a hammer. Eventually it will be tired of pain and it will hand you over the CD.
