I had a similar problem with my PB1400, it was the ribbon cable on
the bottom. There was a kink in it. I had to tape it out of the way.

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
