Re: Fussy iBook CD-ROM drive
They handle them just like original purchaser. I bought my Wallstreet in 99, the original buyer had purchased a 3 year warranty, which has just expired. I sent it in for power supply, pram, and hinges. They treated me right! They'll ask for the original warranty on your first time in and re-register it in your name. Apple warranty work is a good experience. I bought the iBook second hand. I do know that it was originally purchased in May 2001.

Fussy iBook CD-ROM drive
Hi everyone, My iBook (one of the new ones, not clamshell) is having an annoying problem with the CD-ROM drive. Sometimes, when I trash a CD, the drive tray will pop out only a few millimeters. I can't push it back in (it pops right back out, but again only that small bit) and I can't pry it open with my fingers, either. It's happened three times now, and each time after much pushing and prodding, I got it to come out normally after pushing it in and holding it (or something... I actually don't know *what* it was that I did that made it come out normally). I'm guessing some internal mechanism must be sticking; any ideas? Would something as simple as a shot of WD40 take care of it? I certainly don't want to damage any CDs, or the drive itself, with all this pushing and pulling.
