No problem I will tell you how to fix it in some seconds. Take a file pi or a long needle. Search for a tiny hole on the CD ROM (usually it is on front panel). Unplug your PC and put the needle in the hole on the front panel of the CD ROM. Press the needle 1 or 2 times the slider will come out. Take the broken disk out and be Happy.

If you cannot eject your optical drive because of a broken disc inside, the only way to force the tray to eject is to use the tiny hole located near the eject button of the drive. There is a tiny hole near the eject button of the optical drive and its main function is to manually eject the tray in case it cannot be done using the eject button.

To use it to eject the stuck disc inside, you need to use a small pin thin enough to fit inside the hole. Once the pin is inserted into the hole, you need to push the pin inside just like when you press the eject button. That should make the tray eject manually.
