Good evening Lista's,
My 3rd LG (POS!!!) CD/DVD drive has gone south.. Does anyone know if
the Mat unit (drive and sled) is a perfect match for the Pismo as a
replacement?
The Matshita SR-8174-C drive and sled (you'll need both) is the other
major OEM drive that was used on the Pismo and will fit perfectly.
Unlike
it's evil twin, the Matshita drive is fairly reliable. You can still
find them
used on eBay. It's only a DVD-ROM though, so no disk burning. :(
Because of the Pismo's slightly curved sides no other drive--slot or
tray--
will be an exact fit, although some don't look too bad (YMMV).
I am really tired of screwing around with the LG to get it
working...It hast to be ejected and smacked on the table in order
to get
it to recognize that there is a dvd or cd in it...Once it recognizes
that something is there, it works fine..but it it's a real pain to do
that every time and the rest of the family is really PO'd about it...
If anyone on list happens to have or knows someone that has a working
complete unit, please respond off line...
My son has now installed Tiger on this Pismo and it seems to be runing
like a raped ape!! Pismo 400..1gb ram 10gb Toshiba hd 10.42
If you need another partially working LG drive let me know--I have one
available for cheap! :) :(
