All dual-USB and later iBooks can playback DVDs if equipped with a 
suitable optical drive. So yes, you can swap in that combo drive and your 
iBook with then be able to playback DVDs.

You up to the swap?, it's not for the faint-of-heart. Those iBooks are 
devilishly complicated if you've never done one before. It gets easier 
though after you take 'em apart and put 'em back together a few times.

Re: Ibook DVD question

I took a dead 900 Mhz 14 down to the skeleton
to part it out. There were a lot of screws and
a full muffin tin in the end but I've got to say I've
done PC's that were more of a problem.

Ibook DVD question

2005-05-03 Thread Dean
I just got a combo drive from a friends newer Ibook that died
and I'd like to install it in my Ibook.
I have an earlier model 500 MHz Dual USB and was wondering,.
did all of them have the DVD decoder on the motherboard, or
just the DVD drive equipped models.
Thanks
Dean
