I just finally found my 10.4 DVD-R, and was about to install that
over 10.2, to find out that for some reason, the DVD-ROM drive (the
stock apple one) doesn't seem to read DVD-R discs... or at least, it
doesn't read DVD-R discs that I've burnt.

Is this a common problem, or am I doing something wrong on my end?

DVD drive failure is common for the LG model DVD drives used in Pismos.

I get many enquiries for replacement DVD drives, and often they show the
symptom of reading CDs but not DVDs or vice versa.

Is there any way to repair it? Or should I just toss the drive and buy a new one?

As mentioned in the previous post, I'm not afraid to bring a soldering iron to the thing.
