My next door neighbour had her nephews staying one weekend. In the process
of playing with her computer they inserted a3.5" into her FDD and it jammed.

I suspect the metal phlange at the top was bent/distorted so preventing the
FD from ejecting.

As a consequence her FD is active and playing havoc with the prgs she runs.

Is there any way of of ejecting (forcing) the Fd out without taking the FD
out of the case?

For some reason she is reluctant for the FD to be removed. She is also
(very) reluctant to see force - specially brunt force - used to rememdy the
situation.

Can anyone suggest a simple strategy I might employ to extract this bad
mannered FD.
