I have had a problem with one DVD sounding like a buzzsaw also, in my TiG4 400MHz. This is a slot-loading unit. I thought it was caused by an imbalance of the DVD; I don't have that problem with any other of the DVD's I've tried, though there seems to be a problem with reading cd's and DVD's

Hi, Folks! What's your best idea of the wisest way to maintain the greatest functionality of an iBook 500 battery? I've just replaced mine, and realize that my habit of plugging it into the AC adapter whenever I'm able to may not be the best strategy to maintain the battery's longevity. Are
