You can't really force the CD drawer open with anything. You are going to have to remove the side of your computer and check that the white/red/yellow cable is connected to the back of CD bay. This will make sure that the drive is getting power.
If the CD bay is actually broken, the only way to retrieve any CD that is stuck will be to take it out of the computer and take the drive apart.
