g3 ibook cd drive ejects

2012-08-02 Thread rumble
someone gave me a g6 600mhz ibook recently and i was going to try to spruce 
it up, but every time i put a cd in the drive it pops it back out.

was this a common or easy problem to fix or is the drive just hosed?

thanks

Does the iBook bong, boot, and function properly other wise?

Have you tried cleaning the optical drive?

  If it is a slot loader and not a tray then yes these were a problem on yours I'm sure. I have a G4 Titanium PowerBook that had the same issue so I replaced it with a super drive and now I can burn anything up to a Dual Layer DVD. If you are not doing any kind of burning you can pick one up fairly cheap. I paid around $56 w/shipping on ebay for mine around 2 yrs ago.-Original Message-
