I've had exactly this trouble Jennifer. Try pressing and holding the eject button until the disc pops out.

The reason that it's now saying 'no disc' is because it isn't spinning and being read. That's how the electronics detects the presence of a disc. I tried lubricating the moving parts but it didn't help. In the end I had to transplant the mechanics from another unit with terminal circuit board damage. That cured it! CD/DVD drives are not made to last.
