I recently became the proud owner of an Apple G3 Wallstreet. The CDROM drive, M2451, has a problem where when the drive is opened, the tray only slides out *half way*. The tray only extends to the point where about half of the spindle (the center part that grabs onto the CD hole) is visible.
Out of desperation I carefully removed the top metal cover of the CD drive and looked around inside but as of yet I do not see what is preventing the tray from opening fully. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? Aside from this problem, the drive works well because I was able to install Mac OS 8.6. You may ask how did I manage to do this when the drive only opens half way? Apparently when I first got the machine, the CD tray DID extend far enough to let me insert a CD - but I don't remember seeing the tray opening all the way, but it must have because it is almost impossible to insert a CD with the tray half open, without scratching the CD. I hope I can fix this problem and not have to buy a new CD drive. Thanks. Eddie -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
