every one I have had in the past has a tiny little paper-clip sized hole inside of which is the CD eject button

Minis do not.

Apply power while holding down the eject key. It might work.

It doesn't seem to be even getting as far as the bluetooth features working. It's not finding the wireless mouse. So I'm not expecting it to see the wireless keyboard. I'll need that if I want to do the diagnostics, so I'm crossing my fingers about that.

Anyway... plugging in a USB mouse, and holding down the mouse button while powering it up, worked. The disc ejected. Yay. On to the next step.

Interestingly, it seems to be a perfectly good disc. The burn worked.

More fiddling. Report later.
