But yes RB, they are audio cd's (with data files on them). Resetting
the pmu didn't work.
I am running Tiger 10.4.3. I am wondering if anybody has this
file? It is called 'CD Info.cidb' file. It is your in Users/Home/
Library/Preferences folder. Someone on the Apple site forum said it
get corrupted but I don't even have it. I suspect it gets created
after using some form of cd format, but this powerbook may have been
upgraded since the drive stopped working, so said file may never have
been generated. My guess anyhow...
So now wondering if anybody has it in their folder. Thanks,
Dave
Actually I have several things to try yet re the combo drive.
These were data disks so really wasn't considering whether there
was an audio disk issue. Apparently there are some files though
that can get corrupted that I can try removing. Apparently
resetting the pmu may also have an impact according to the Apple
web site. About to shut down and try that next.
The thing is, yeah I may fix the combo drive, BUT I REALLLLLY want
to be able to burn dvd's on this too. So I am wanting to take the
opportunity to upgrade to a Superdrive. I can always sell the
combo drive off after I fix it if it happens.

David...
I'd say a critical question is, "Why does the DVD work, but the
audio CD does
not?" I'm assuming the DVD audio is fine, correct? If so, then
clearly there
is no laser registration issue, and the fact that DVD audio works
indicates the
audio circuitry in the drive is fine. Are you sure there is not
another,
simpler--but, perhaps less obvious--issue?
